When has Eep EVER been racist? Never; at least not while I've been around.

Just in case you have not read my reply deep in the heart of "the thread"...
I have chosen not to participate in this vote as I believe it to be unfair to be forced to decide which user I value the most.

Well, thank you so very much. Not only have you been one of the causes of this so-called community being so completely divided, you
refuse to take any responsibility for the results. In the future, I expect this will be used as a reason not to even ask what the
users want for the simple reason that we all had different opinions on an issue. If this was some sort of test, it is sickening to
think that the result may be even further separation from the management of Activeworlds.com. Yes, Mr. Anderson, asking us to throw
out one of our own and then washing your hands of it when there was no clear "winner" is an excellent test of how "united" a
community is! What do you mean by "there will be moderation of offensive posts"? Will we go back to the system where all of our
messages are proxied?
If Activeworlds.com management wants to give us some sort of "test case" to see how well voting works, choose something other than
banning Eep. You will never get a clear result from that, and only trouble will follow. Why not ask us what we want done in the
browser? Why not let us vote on major organizations like the Peacekeepers? This "democratic process" is too little, too late. If you
want to make up for it, you'll have to do so VERY quickly, and with a genuine quality.
"Its up to you people to fix it"? We were doing so before you came along and gave us the "privilege" of being able to decide on
whether we wanted to evict our "neighbor".
I'm not quite sure what this is going to cause me to do, but do realize that there will be repercussions.

As far as I know, you don't have to put them in any "order". The only thing you need to be careful of is to put the 3.1-specific commands last so the older browsers don't barf all over your action line.

There was enough "new" stuff in 3.0 that it warranted a new major version number (3). 3.1 didn't have as much, I suppose, so it only got a minor version increase.

Asking for someone's age isn't really an invasion of privacy, especially because it's used to make sure only adults enter the world.
I agree that both options include the possibility of false information, but if someone can *really* convince you that they're an adult... dunno.

With Microsoft's recent dumbing-down of their ME and XP operating systems, I'll upgrade to NT first. From what I can see, NT will probably be the "power user" OS from Microsoft now with ME and XP being for the home user that has simple uses for a computer.

By NT, I mean Windows 2000. If XP and ME aren't in the same line, then I still have reason to group them together... They're in the I'll-never-install-it-on-any-computer group :)

AW has, at most, 3 programmers.

I think the reason he stays is because he *doesn't* despise AW, but wants it to live up to its potential.

I think that, from now on, if someone wants to find out where to find information about the whole NewYork/Broadway thing, they should go ask the people involved personally. I really don't care anymore about the whole issue, and personally don't like the fact that people find it nessecary to use the newsgroups to attack each other over some issue involving two private worlds.

In a sense, I do. It is not a community issue, it's one that needs to be dealt with by only the parties involved.

It would be fine to call in a copyright expert or some independant arbitrator, but I see no reason to continue bringing this up in a public forum.
