We can now get back to our regularly scheduled flames.

Eep, buddy, just tone it down a little and maybe try personal emails
to get your questions answered. I don't know if you used that approach
but you see what newsgroup banter spawned. Dunno if the "community"
will be as tolerant the next time if another one of these events takes
place. I'd really hate to see you get the boot from here again.
Factor, I admire and respect you for what you brought to the table.
Allowing the community to decide if one of our own needs to be removed
is a HUGE step in the right direction. I applaud you for this. Take a
few days off to let things simmer down a bit and then decide if you want
to leave the groups instead of making that choice now. If you do decide
to leave, well, I will understand completely but I believe your presence
will be greatly missed.
Groupies, I compliment you all for your participation even if it was
to post some non-participation message. I think today we went from a
community to a Community and it makes me just a little more proud to
call AW my home in cyberspace.
Anybody for a rousing game of go fish?

sorry I didn't make it clear.. I used a small c in the first reference
to our community refering to how we were and a capital C in the second
reference to our community refering to how we have grown and hopefully
matured in these last few days... I will make my posts more clear in
the future...

I have to agree with the posts regarding keeping your sexual preferences
to yourself and not discussing it at worlds where they have
restrictions. I'm not gay but I am a witch and if I go to the Gate and
start discussing religion I will get ejected. I really hate that but
unless I buy the company there is nothing I can do about it. The big
three NO-NO's to talk about at the Gate or any of the restricted worlds
are race, religion and sexual preference Like it or not, those are the
rules. On my worlds you can pretty much talk about what you want but I
will eject for racial insults, sexual preference insults, religious
insults or open cybering. Other than that the discussions are pretty
much free to progress as they will. Heck, I was at the Gate once when
one of the gatekeepers threatened to eject every citizen just for being
citizens at the Gate saying that the Gate was just for newbie tourists.
Gatekeepers, Peacekeepers.. I can name just a handful of decent ones who
actually try to follow the guidelines of what they represent, the rest
are basically sad individuals that have probably made nothing out of
themselves in real life so they assert what power they are given to make
themselves look big here. My suggestion about being ejected from the
Gate for talking about being gay is to take it as a lesson learned,
don't do it again unless you enjoy being ejected and find a world where
you are accepted and go about your business. Not all the AW citizens are
homophobic...

pretty simple actually. witchcraft is my religion, or more accurately,
Wicca.

umm, there are quite a few of us in AW and no I don't ride a broom
around in AW or anyplace else. None of my objects have anything to do
with being a witch. If you purchased any of my objects and feel like
maybe they have some sort of spell on them invading your brain and
making you do things you really do not want to do, well, just delete
them and I'm sure everything will be back to normal with you. hahaha
geeze, your eyes must be about a half an inch apart with such a narrow
mind behind them.... btw, I'm going to a Full Moon Ritual tonight in
all my ritual attire (robe, athame, etc) and if you want, I'll look in
on you and make sure you are safe... I wouldn't want any thing bad to
happen to you...

not a problem, if it was a joke then it was on me for not seeing it..
hehehe.. there are many resources out there on the internet that will
give you a greater insight to what witches are and what witches are
not. May I suggest the Witches' Voice as a starting place..

Wing... Moff is hardly a newbie. He may have not been a part of the
newsgroups but he's been a citizen for several years.

woooo weeee! boy you are gonna be swamped with requests, and after that they
turn into demands, and then after you can't keep up with the demand they start
flaming you and telling everyone how much of a slacker you are. I'd think twice
before offering to make stuff for free here on the newsgroup. maybe just keep it
between your friends or put up a website and make the stuff YOU want to see and
let that go for free. just a suggestion..

Hi boys and girls,

I'm needing a world leader to take over the day to day responsibilities
running one of my worlds. The world is Duhari.
Duhari has a desert theme with very minimal construction on it. It is a
classic PS16 size world (500x500 meters, 16 users) and its hosted 24/7,
plus it has its own object path on my server. I'm developing a new role
playing environment which includes my three worlds, Cyberia, Duhari and
Tweeal. The potential world leader for Duhari should be familar with
world operations, have knowledge of using an FTP program, understand
object path structure, and preference will be given to those that have
rwx modeling experience (objects, avatars, texturing). Have your
references ready.

Go to this website: http://kaltana.com and read about the Kaltana
Federation for the story behind the role playing environment.

Email me at rehabber at swbell.net for consideration in this opportunity or
if more information is needed.

[View Quote] > uh...why do you post this in the **ACTIVEWORLDS** Community NG?????

hmmm.. is this really exclusively an Activeworlds newsgroup? I've been around
for quite a long time, posted alot of things, read alot of things that were
mostly not worth reading, but I've always thought that this newsgroup and the
others offered up by AW were more for this technology instead of a specific
universe. Alot of universes got started by using this medium for informing the
masses that something familar yet new was available. Most have eventually
developed their own newsgroups for their own specific uses but there is only one
Activeworlds no matter what the name a perticular universe goes by. Outerworlds
is Activeworlds, Dreamland Park is Activeworlds, City4All is Activeworlds,
Vectorscape is Activeworlds. Yes it may not be the same "community" but I've
met many of the same people in all of those other universes that frequent the
Activeworlds universe, and most of them use the same name across the Active
Universes. Spamming is just plain stupid and disrespectful of others that
actually come here hoping to extract something useful out of these newsgroups,
no matter what world situated in what universe you hail from. Personally I
think the Activeworlds technology and ALL its users make up the AW community so
take off those blinders and see the horizon beyond where you thought it was.

I have a 500x500 meter world that is hosted 24/7 and has its own object
path on my server for lease. Contact me by email for prices if you are
interested.

Tourists used to be able to post here... actually a few years back,
anyone was able to post here. I like the citizen only rule and yes it
has definately cut down on the spamming. Flame wars are a different
matter hehehe.

It didn't used to be this way Budweiser. A few years back this was a
nice place where folks posted happenings and events across AW. A place
where people could come and extract real and useful information. Flame
wars were pretty minor and usually the contestants were able to settle
their differences in a reasonable manner. I have no idea how or why the
newsgroups have taken such negative feel to it other than there are a
whole host of new faces in here now. Its a shame, a real shame... thank
goodness Eep is still here doing his best to keep things on topic and
stragically changing the subject line from time to time keeping the
"mindless twits" out of step. Maybe things will eventually go back to
how they used to.. we can only hope.

Sure icey, thank goodness... you might not agree with Eep's tactics but
you have to admit he does much better than most in trying to keep this
newsgroup on topic and rarely gets any thanks for doing it.
