Look, twit, you're a fucking moron. You can't be more than 15 (probably more like 12 or 9). Was it REALLY necessary to crosspost to ALL of the newsgroups something SO off-topic that it should really only belong in general.discussion (but more preferably in email)? Fucking E-VOLVE already, kid. One more strike and I'm reporting you to your ISP/email abuse account. Now quit acting lame! God damn kids...

Yo, newbie, stop responding to the other newbie's crossposts. God damn...you should know better, Ananas...

Anyway, Ryan posted about WAREZ, which are illegal in case you didn't have a clue (which doesn't surprise me). If the little twitshit newbie is going to not only post off-topic, but by ILLEGAL activities (which ISPs INDEED do cancel accounts for) then the little shit needs to be taught a lesson. <shrug>

Um, zippy, he implied with "but you might wana look into it" that simply by contacting him he would go look for the URL and try and help you find the site; hence, illegal. I'm more pissed off at his off-topic posting, but the kid clearly needs to be taught a lesson. <shrug> If you can't see the "harm" in posting off-topic such drivel then you don't deserve to be posting here, Ananas.

Not really. Of course, being a "newbie" depends on your experience and what you're trying to do. When it comes to AW and computers, I had been using them since 1983 and was BBSing and using the Net--Usenet mostly--since 1991 before coming to AW. So I wasn't really a newbie to the Net, message boards, or computers, per se.

I don't, but it's generally the case the younger one is the less mature they are.

Most of the time HTML isn't necessary. Tyrell just likes to abuse it. For example, he made a link out of "entrance of mine" AND included separate URL text. It's just unnecessary; simply JUST the URL is sufficient. The red text, "WARNING - VERY DENSE", is also unnecessary since simply all-caps suffices.

RAS is RenderWare's propietary texture format that's been around for as long as I can remember. I've never found a non-RW app that could read them, however. As for what happened to the JPGs and BMPs, nothing; they haven't been in AW's cache for YEARS now. AW3 started making them separate RAS files so they would "load faster" or some spiel Roland babbled on about, but I don't notice any speed increase.

Um, no shit, Sherlock. I wasn't talking about RW's OLD integrated RAS format but AW3+'s RAS format. Duh. Pay attention, dork. The old RASes were simply inside the VERY large texture.* files--add up all the individual RAS in AW3+ and you'll get about the same amount, minus the multiple greyscale masks.

Anyone who still has an S3 Virge should be shot repeatedly in the head with a .22 so the bullet can't make it through the skull and just sloshes around inside for a bit. There is NO excuse to still have a P166. Upgrade or become obsolete.

AW has been going down the tubes and into the dumpster for years. "3D homepages" are simply AWC's latest marketing attempt that will most definitely fail. Why? Because it's false advertising. Trial worlds AREN'T homepages, 3D or otherwise. Homepages are HTML-scripted text pages displayed in web browsers. AW worlds are not. Rick, JP, and all those other putz "directors" (clueless idiots would be a better label) are simply so out of touch with AW that they just do NOT know how to market or manage it at all. I don't know what it's going to take to clue these idiots into what AW REALLY is (and can become), but I've been trying for YEARS without success.
