Hi,

Remember the golden rule: final is never final :)

In my 3 to 4 years xelagoting my bot (hehe) I found out that soon
enough. I hope and trust you will have a different attitude than AW's
finals (at least, since Roland left). Final is the beginning :)

Cheers and best of luck with your bot, the more good ones the merrier!

Goober,

Sorry to hear you are stopping your contributions to what is left of
the community. I myself continue with my bot. Not because of the AW
developpers staff, which since Roland and Nelson left, have not
deigned to have a decent dialog with external programmers like me...
but because, being unmarried and childless, my bot is my way of
seeding fruit. A fruit I hope others enjoy.

I, as many others, am deeply disappointed in the AW staff. Their
perception of what they owe to the virtual community is deep below
zero. In financial and moral sense. But there are many things you
can still enjoy here, and I hope you will.

Wish you luck,
Alex

No it isn't. In a bigot country maybe, but in civilised countries,
there are public institutions created for the purpose of seeing that
rules are unforces, of judging and, if found guilty, penalising.
Private harrassing is forbiden in those countries: it is illegal and
sick. Private opinions are of course allowed everywhere, and should
be kept private.

What you are missing is this, Daphne. You have no right to apply your
own moral judgemets as if they were valid for all. When you attack
(even behind their backs, and viciously) Goreans or others, you are
making a big mistake. You are playing God. I have no affinity with
Goreans (as far as I know), but moral standards also apply or should
to you.

Certainly we form our own moral opinions. What we do not have the
right to do is to hassle, torture or whatever justifying it as from
our own moral opinions.

Sept 11 happend just by the sort of reasoning you hold... A bunch of
people believe the american way of life and international intervention
is immoral. They may or not be right, but that gives them NO WAY THE
RIGHT TO APPLY HASSELING MEASURES. Hasseling has degrees, from
bullying to murder.

You have hassled many, I am one of them. I also know you do a lot of
good work. So just drop the bigotry?

not quite, bowen. you can have your own opinion and ventilate it.
but it has to remain your own opinion. in the world we live, a sort
of consensus has to be applied. at least, that is the basis of
western thought. since many years, the western society has based its
organisation in a 3-way power scheme: executives (president etc),
lawmaker, judges. each has its own function and is indeendant of the
others (the terms in english may be slightly different, my own laguage
is spanish). one big advantage above previous schemes is that the law
may not be made by an individual. not that this is always fair, but
it is fairer than others. linching (a private initiative) was
cosidered fair in some of your states a few decades ago... would it be
fair in your opinion? condemning people only based on your own system
of values, is that fair?

Daphne has in her posting here promoted the use of hatred, retaliation
and violence against people that she considers immoral, according to
her morals (disguised as puplic morals). I defy that, and abhore this
sort of bigotry.

Sure, except when one has the choice to respect other people, one has
the ability to use that choice. Especially when one is ith a position
of power (as Daphne is, ruling on a few worlds). Hatred an bigotry
leads nowhere.

I was very shocked when a couple of years ago, after gladly agreeing
to help Daphne to make a free bot for her event on Halloween, she
forbade me to make a bot fot another world which she CONSIDERED
immoral (oct31 I think). This was a very difficult decision, but I
decided not to help Daphne. This sort of incident has beeing
repeating itself, when she waged a 'behind your back' war against GOR
and lately against myself.

Bigotry? Nice and good people can turn out as biggots... just you

[View Quote] >This has gone on long enough...

Has it?

When a few years ago you asked me to help you clear the mess 2 kids
had done in AWTeen, I was willing to help. I never realised you were
protecting kids who had taken and vandalised the equivalent of many
universes worth of land (according to you, they had by mistake kept
their fingers on the keyboard). Months later, it appeared the same
kids has had a much vaster input. My first reaction was to ask the
AWTeen team to take measures: freeze these peoples ability to
vandalise, and ban the culprits for a limited numbervof weeks. Your
reaction was histerical: you treated me as if I was chopping these
kids hands etc, and refused even to talk about this case. Your
neighbour kid maybe? I could not care less, kids need to be respected
whether you know them or not.

When months later I was called in by the caretaker of AWTeen to help
determine more damage created by these same kids, you not only refused
to help giving the appropriate data, but you actively boycotted the
investigation. I sent an email to AW and the AWTean group with CC to
you about this and declined to help ever again in this sort of
investigation unless all parties agreed.

In the meantime, I read in the AW newsgroups your active but behind
the back boycott of alleged GOR citizens in world you were responsible
for (AW sponsored worlds).

When we worked together in Avatars 2001, I was responsible
representing DigitalSpace Corporation. You took the liberty, in the
name of our corporation, to insult ActiveWorlds officials on the
matter of the participation of Peacekeapers (not through our official
cannels, through yours). I rebuked that. You also kept information
about sponsors hidden from us, and seemingly decided our event was
yours?

In avatars 2002, you were not invited to participate (my decision).
You held a war behind my back, hasseling our workers, and even sending
emails to my boss about how bad we were handeling the preparations to
the event. None of your business, all of your spite.

You are now propagating hate methods. Do you ever think I will keep
my mouth shut about this? I find what you are doing, perverting youth
(yes, you), despicable. Keep your own traumas to yourself! I have
had enough of biggots like you, working behind the back of people but
wearing an angel face.

Hope you realise what you are doing.

Daphne,

I did not read this whole thread yet, but no matter. My reply to your
intial post was motivated by your approoval and incitement (in your
position, aprooval is incitement) to harass people if they do not
comply with certain rules which YOU consider immorall or unacceptable
(because YOU consider them genarally immoral and unacceptable). I
knew that you did this for a long time, but have NEVER seen you
aproove this publickly. This is a vigilante activity, that denies all
fairness. A "nigger" would be linched in the souther USA states just
because of your reasoning depending on the morals of the vigilante
class. It is the same sort of reasoning you are using.

I do not need to copy your slandering methods (you have sent oh so
many slandering telegrams and emails about me) and I have kept silent
for a long time, except that I think I must state exactly what I think
is due: nobody, not even goddess Daphne who knows what is pure and
just, has the right to persecute people. You do thatnand you have
done that for a long time, but the moment you justified it here in the
newsgroups, I decided to say exactly what I thought.

Don't get me mistaken. I heard from most of the people you were
hassling to stop working on avatars 2002, and from some more you have
hassled behind their back. Some with a bit of insinuations, some with
much more than that. I kept my calm. Until now, that you openly
propagate hate and persecution.

Whatever I thought of you and your methods, I kept to myself.
Whatever you thought of me you have used to slash my name at places
where you thought I was vulnerable. Not publickly, of course, always
behind the back of people.

Well lady, I wish you best. You do good work sometimes and you can
motivate people, and you do a lot of devilish work too.

You have NO RIGHT to play the vigilante and crap on people whose
lifestyle you despise or disagree with. You have even less right to
pervert other people's mind into applying these unlawfull and immoral
practices.

Hi,

great page. One remark: the best strategy is to disable 'use cache'
for a very accurate rendering (this takes longer). The Xelagot cache
is as good as as the AW.DLL responds, the cache is made only when a
whole sector has been received and approved. If in very rare
occasions, if this goes wrong, the cache will give you a wrong result.
I have seen this happen seldom, but as a precaution, for important
backups, disable 'use cache'.

BTW, you do not need to start the bot afresh to avoid the cache...
the cache is used when you allow it. So if you survey and disable
'use cache', the cache will not be used. If you restart the bot, as
you say, it will still use the cache unless 'use cache' is disabled.

SeqFileViewer 2.0 fixes a bug when saving to binary SEQ format a SEQ
that was loaded as text SEQ: the total number of frames saved to the
binary file did not correspond to the binary format, but to the text
format. Thanks, SleepyE, for finding this bug :)

The fix can be applied to these faulty binary SEQs by reloading them
(even in old versions of SeqFileViewer) and saving them back to binary
format.

the new version.

This version of SeqFileViewer will correct the 'frame' number of the
first frame automatically, for binary files and for HamFon text files.
Binary files must start at frame 1, text files at frame-time 0.
Previous versions of SeqFileViewer only corrected binary files that
had the first frame as frame 0, changing this to 1. Now both binary
and text SEQs are checked and fixed if their first frame is not
numbered correctly.

Another error is also detected (as in previous versions), when the
first frame of a binary file is not set for x, y, z and rotation
coordinates. This must be fixed manually.

Any changes or corrections applied to a loaded file must be saved back
to file (the file on disc is not updated automatically).

Andras has made available a new version of his MultiZip. With this
version 4.10 you can repassword zips which have previously been
passworded. It will leave zips that were not passworded untouched.
This is very handy, as many common zips should not be passworded
(including ALL seq zips, as those are freely available in the cache
unzipped).

The url is:

Never password your SEQ files. They appear unzipped in the cache, so
if they are zipped and passworded on the object path, it is easy to
compare both and extract the password. Same for the avatars.dat
file.

I asked for access to the beta ng, and was denied, because it was for
alpha testers only. This bug was reported a few times directly to
members of the dev team. I reporterd it personally a few weeks after
the 3.3 version was made public. This now is the first time I had
world logs to base my analysis on. I got a reply from Bill Hoover
just now saying:

---
Thank you for this detailed information. We will see what we can do to
resolve this issue.
---

I would suggest that reports about this bug (and others related to it)
would be sent to devteam at activeworlds.com as well as being posted to
the newgroups. Maybe in this way we can help AW realise how seriously
'external' developpers are being hindered in producing applications
that can enhance the AW experience if these bugs do not get a priority
treatment.

And I do agree with the one who said that you not always need to be
able to reproduce a bug to fix it. In some cases (that's my own
experience), re-examining your code and using good logic can help you
find the bug, and fix it. A lot is a matter of what priorities you
have.

Thanks for the trust :)

The problem is circular, though. Trust must be built up. To trust
someone, somebody (many somebodies) must have downloaded and used
his/her programs for a while without trusting him/her, and gained
trust by using them.

This poses a big problem for honest begining programmers, who are not
yet trusted. I don't know how this dilemma can be solved.
