I don't know if you wrote this to me.....If so this is a prove that you don't
know what i do for the AW Community. Im an old citizen in AW and i loveeeee to
build and help ppl when i can. But when they close a world without even tell
you why.....and you have a lot to do with it.....its like this nose up
attitude......and this will not help the program grow. I hope you can
understand what i am trying to say.(sorry about the broken english).

Since 3.1 we are having problems in stay paralel to the axes.....did anyone notice that the coordinates are not perfect anymore??? Then its impossible to place the object correct...Thats why so many gaps around.

These signs have a move command in it right???? They do the signs on the space

remember to get the TYPONESE translator in order to understand this message:))))

Ethics When Applying to Organizations

Nov 7, 2004, 12:52am
Hey Samuel maybe you would like to volunter your time and be a teacher too huh????
And who knows maybe you will stay alone at AWSchool GZ all day and night helping
ppl.....And BTW....I will go to AWSchool anytime someone tgram me and ask for help
....Now Josh if you still a teachers aide in AWSchool please show up and
help.....or then stay hanging in AWNewbie with the others. What I dont think is
fair is ppl going around saying that AWSchool is empty and theres no one there so
we dont exist......I the teachers (with their names at the wall) show up to do
some duty time maybe we can reverse this talking about AWSchool. The names on the
wall means nothing if you dont help.
