Ok... go into third person mode by pressing 1 with NumLock off. Then,
the easiest way would be to press Ctrl, and press the right or left arrow key. Then let go and press the 5... you still drift to a stop... Not a long drift but still a drift. In the first person, this doesn't happen. Not a big deal, but still noticable.

xBase for windows comes from Foxbase Inc(FoxPro). which Microsoft bought. Boreland
had a dBase clone called Clipper (a Foxbase compatible) which is now owned by Computer Associates...

I stand corrected about Boreland (been a long time since I have thought about it). I know
what xbase stands for. As for Quicksilver,...LOL... it was a great product, expecially the compiler. And I too did alot of applications using most of those products back in the late 80's early 90's. Clipper was a dbase clone even though it wasn't a 100% compatible. Its databases could be used by the other programs except for the memos database. The extended functions of Clipper couldn't, Which mean't that it really sucked. :) Quicksilver could read all of the databases and its compiler was really great.. did I mention that :).

What is interesting is that Eep was almost banned in the Worldbuilders newsgroup for
all the same reasons for this discussion, and was warned that he would be if he continued the personal attacks. Then he tried it in Andras's newsgroups and was warned by Andras that if he continued, he would be banned. Now he is trying it here.... See the pattern? It would appear that Eep has a deep seeded need to be the center of attention. If he can't get it one way, he will try another. Since Eep never starts a discussion or topic unless it is either bitching about something or flaming someone, it would appear that Eep has very little creative thought that is positive in nature. Unlike Andras for instance, who brings out new utilities, and even a new way for multiple OP's. And others who are creative in a multitude of ways. While it can't be argued that Eep's world is the epittomy (spelling?) of 3.1's capabilities, he doesn't seem to be able to express himself appropriately in social situations. It would also appear that he loves the attention that we bring on him be discussing his behavior now. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was sitting back and laughing his ass off watching us rant about him...At least he got our attention focused on him...And that is what he is after anyway.

<html> marcus, no one is sweeping this under the rug. What you have to realize is that, while we all would love to have a perfect world (worlds) in AW, there is no such thing. We deal with objectionable builds etc. the same way we deal with them in real life. We don't patronize them and let the authorities know that they exist and that we want them gone. However, if a majority of citizens don't want it gone or it is of historical value, then there is not much hope to get rid of it. You may think we / me are picking on you and you would be right... but only because you manage to make an ass out of yourself with some of your arguments and the good stuff gets lost. Those of us who have been here awhile, have been through all of this before and if you or me or anyone continues the discussion of porn, we will be getting in the vague and meaningless definition of it. Then we would start to really get tied up in our socks... Denmark,,, it's legal..( I think), USA, is's not in some areas. It's offencive to some, not to others.. Some want to be their brothers keeper... Some don't.... you can see the can of worms. I would suggest that you keep posting the good stuff and drop the other. Remember, this is a community, and while we will slap you down and around, we also pick you up, dust you off and make you try again. <p>Holistic1 [View Quote] [NG Survivor] Meet The Survivors -Involuntarily Chosen by me. :)May 6, 2001, 10:18pm
Ah shucks.... and here I have been for over three years and not even a

My first time in AW?... It was in 1998 when I both my dad and brother
passed over. My closest friend of 35 years, (sovdon), who owned Holistic world invited me into Holistic. Actually he insisted and gave me one of the world citizenships (Holistic1). What he knew, but I didn't, was that it would allow me to express my grief in a way that I would have never considered (as I have no artistic talent whatsoever). At that time, Holistic world had very little in the way of builds and Don (sovdon) along with DfameD and Lady Lovesha showed me the basics of building and litterally gave me the world in which to create, build, and express myself any way I needed to and I will be forever grateful to him for that. I can honestly say that he saved my life or at the very least my sanity (what little I ever have anyway. :)), by these signs of friendship and to all of them (Sovdon, DfameD and Lady Lovesha, I say "Thank you".

And Lo, the stupid shall be with us always. Factor, no matter what security you
try to put in force, someone will always figure out how to get around it. If the kiddies are idiot enough to give away their passwords, then let them figure out how to get them back. If they can't, then the question begs to be asked: "Do we really want to polute the AW gene pool further with having to hold their hand and do their thinking for them?" As in all other aspects of the internet, let the user beware. ActiveWorlds is doing a reasonable effort to control this problem, but I sure wouldn't loose any more sleep over it if I were you.

Hi kellee,
While I would love to agree with you, however,your analogy is flawed. If the grumpy old man (eep) would have stayed in his own orchard there would not have been any problems. It's when he kept jumping in everyone elses vinelands that the trouble begins. I don't need anyone telling me how I should or should not post or respond to posts. Seems to me that eep was always trying to dictate to everyone on how anything should be said, done or otherwise stated in these NG's whether the conversation was aimed at him or not. Being a grumpy old man ( something I am striving for, and so far have managed only 'old man' :) ), doesn't give anyone the right to tell others how to tend their orchard.
