You forget, Nornny. AW is overrun with 12 yr olds. Unfortunately, that
means that there's not much in the way of age diversity for AL to choose
from. (Especially considering most of the more mature AW citizens see VR
money as strictly a novelty) Frankly, I give AL props for being able to
put up with it all and still run a decent organization. He'll make a
name for himself yet. :)

Oh, and don't bother with the "I'm not 12, I'm 13!!!" bit. It's close
enough and as long as you continue to act this way, you will always be
12 in my book. :P

I doubt it's the Juno people... most of them barely know enough on how
to get out of their own world, let alone post in the newsgroups. :P No,
I think the idiots in here have been here all along, it's just
someone/something decided to go around and light a fire under their
asses. Perhaps they were all suffering from AlphaWorld withdrawal due to
the server crash and finally decided to vent. *shrug*

Awww... didn't get a reaction, huh? How disappointing... :'-(

Seriously people. Why would Eep even bothering acknowledging such a
pointless post? Just because you feel like pulling his leg doesn't mean
he has to respond. And since you all were probably holding your breath
just waiting to see what Eep would do, he probably did the smartest
thing he could have done by actually NOT posting. Just pissed you off
some more.

At least if you guys feel the urge to pick on him, have a legitimate
reason for it. *grin*

Actually, I've noticed that if you post something logical and valid,
especially if it concerns Eep's actions, he just filters you. *smirk*

Then again, his filter has a hole in it, so that threat is no longer
valid, I guess. :)

Hate to break it to you Eep, but for once, derek's right. Just because
it's a "wanna-be community organization" doesn't mean it isn't still an
organization. If you don't think it'll be that successful, that's fine.
Heck, you might even be right. But it's still an organization with a
base in the AW community, so they have every right to post in here just
as much as any other organization.

Besides, if there's anyone in here with no room to talk, it's you.
Technically, you have no right to post in here because you aren't a
paying customer. So you *shouldn't* be able to do all of your ranting
about AW and Rick and JP and whatever else. But, I guess loopholes have
their benefits, so we just have to put up with you. *smirk*

Sorry, I should restate that: He has no right to complain in these
newsgroups. Since he doesn't contribute any money to AW's "cause", he
has no room to complain about how it's run, who posts here, etc, just as
those who don't vote have no room to complain about an elected official.

Don't get me wrong, tho. I think everyone should be allowed to post
here. (even tourists) It just the idea that someone who doesn't
monetarily participate in the community can dictate what paying
customers can do is lame.

And besides, someone who gets a citship as a birthday present still has
to pay for it when the year is up...

I was saving this post in the event that the community NG ever started
to slow down and people needed something to read. Initially, it was
supposed to be a joke. But now with all of these strange new faces
having stumbled upon our little corner of AW, I would feel remiss if I
didn't formally introduce ourselves and teach these young charges our
ways. So, for those of you who just found this place, read and learn!
For those who've been here a while, have a good laugh. :)

Newbie Guide to the Newsgroups
------------------------------

Hello, and welcome to the AW Community NewsGroup! You are about to
embark on a journey of information, communication, and learning! But
before we begin, let us introduce you to just some of the people you'll
encounter here in the Newsgroups!

activeworlds - This one tends to be a bit of a recluse, only appearing
at random intervals to make some sort of meaningless announcement. If
you spot this person, let us know! We miss him/her!

agent1 - Professional ActiveWorlds Annoyer. If you want something done,
Agent1 is willing to annoy the hell out of any ActiveWorlds staffer
until it happens, or until he's sitebanned, whichever happens first. Be
warned, though. If you piss him off sufficiently, he can annoy YOU
too...

alphabit phalpha - Bearer of the Smilies! She can make even the sharpest
of barbs feel like silk with just a simple colon and parenthesis.
However, if you see a post without a single smiley, run. Fast. She'll
start "grr"-ing any second...

eep - One of the more... visible members of the AW newsgroup community,
you can always count on him to give Activeworlds a good smack, for all
the good it may do. Master of nit-picking, the one-liner, and wielding
his magical Filter, Eep is willing to fight the evil corporation and
help the people evolve! Well... at least he's willing to complain about
it...

goober king - As the title indicates, he's in charge of keeping all the
goobers in AW and around the world in line. Unfortunately, being a
goober himself doesn't help much. Yearning to be taken seriously, but
winding up in trouble because of it, he posts long-winded laments about
all sorts of topics, all of which are rightfully ignored...

holistic1 - The wake-up call from Reality. Short and concise, this one's
always ready to offer an opinion. Now if only she'd *start* a
conversation...

imagine - Cut from the same cloth as AlphaBit, another of the caring
people here in the newsgroups. Always willing to offer advice and
support, especially for those who fall victim to Eep's filter...

jeiden - One of our own who left for a time, but has now returned, and
still the same as ever! But whatever you do, don't mention Gor around
him...

john viper - One of the resident geeks here in the NG, he's always ready
and willing to yak about all things technical. Strangely optimistic in
this rather pessimistic environment, he will offer his opinion from time
to time, without really saying much of anything. Unless, of course, it
involves Microsoft...

just in - When he's not in a battle of wits (or egos?) with Eep, Just In
can be counted on to supply a dry touch to any thread. Just be careful
when talking about him personally; you might never hear the end of it...

legion - The loyalist. Foolhardy and headstrong, this passionate patriot
will fight for the integrity of ActiveWorlds! (or lack thereof) Anyone
who says otherwise will be bombarded with endless strings of bad
English! And don't bother trying to decipher his code. Many have tried,
few have succeeded...

lucrezia borgia - Another of the "ghost" members of the AW community,
she will occasionally deign to descend from on high to mingle with the
commoners. But don't try to actually talk to her, you won't get very
far...

myrth - Keeper of the Beta List! This is the person to talk to
concerning AW development. Of course now that beta's been closed, it
looks like he's out of a job. Oh well, can always annoy Eep...

nornny - *sings* He's a real nowhere man/Sitting in his nowhere
land/Doesn't have a point of view/Knows not where he's going to... Be
wary of this one, as he can agree with just about anyone. No matter the
argument, you can always count on Nornny to take YOUR side. Lately,
however, he's decided to reverse his stance and now DISAGREES with
everything. What's next for this up-and-comer? Only time, and arguments,
will tell...

nova - The Man With the Flying Fingers! He knows no fear! He knows no
shame! He knows no punctuation! To enter into a conversation with Nova
is like talking to the guy from the MicroMachines commercials. Be
prepared to do some head-scratching...

pc - Bastion of democracy! He is a man of the people, willing to fight
anarchists around the globe. Even bots' rights will be protected under
his rule! Just be ready for plenty of red tape...

tyrell - Another of the "Ancients", Tyrell is also a member of the
techie collective. Always ready to offer software plugs and long
pot-shots, Tyrell has been around since the beginning. Could learn a lot
from this "old man"...

wing - Eep's shadow. With an ego surpassed by few and the ability to say
what everyone else *isn't* thinking, Wing is one to look out for. If Eep
doesn't attack you first, Wing will. The only difference is Eep's
attacks are actually effective...

zero - The Ultimate Anti-Eep. No matter the cause, no matter the reason,
you can depend on Zero to be right on Eep's heels, countering everything
he says, with only marginal success. And probably the only person who
hasn't fallen through the hole in Eep's filter...


Now that you've had a chance to get to know some of the people here in
the NGs, here's a few tips you can use to help make your trip to the AW
Community Newsgroup a happy and fun trip!

10 Ways to Piss People Off
-----------------------
1. Post a new message just saying hello
2. Ramble incoherently
3. Use no punctuation
4. Abuse punctuation
5. Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word
6. Use "lol" a lot
7. Post about something that has nothing to do with AW
8. Post about a specific person in the newsgroups
9. Post about yourself and things in your life
10. Post a really long message that has absolutely no relevance!

If you steer clear of these actions, you should have no troubles fitting
in here in the NGs. We hope you enjoy your stay! :)

Goober King

Trust me, dude. You aren't impressing anyone, especially with that
horrid typing. It takes more than vague references and secrecy to make
something good. Besides, AWCOM could care less what organizations do in
AW. I *highly* doubt they would bother trying to "cover up" something,
unless it somehow affects their investors. (the few that exist) So
unless you work for Mr. Greenspan or the SEC and are here to shut down
AW for good, I suggest, in the words of a wise philosopher, you put up
or shut up.

*sigh* Fine, you win. It was mentioned. Once. Geez...

Still, that wasn't the SUBJECT of the post. He wanted to find out about
OTHER organizations, not USWF. So he posted here to see what he could
find out. He didn't come to bitch about USWF, didn't come to plug USWF,
didn't come to bash AL. He came to get info, nothing more. You can't
exactly do that in a USWF forum, now can you?

Why don't you step back, take a deep breath, and get off your anti-USWF
soapbox before you make yourself look like even more of a fool. As
annoying as they may be, they have just as much right to post here as
you do, so your qualm is unfounded. And above all else, and I quote,
"THINK, man!"

up and down holding your breath til yer face turns blue, but you'll
never be taken seriously unless 1) you actually provide some real solid
info, and 2) clean up your act. (and your typing) I mean, if I didn't

Ok, I'll shoot. Of course, what I predict will happen and what I *wish*
would happen are two totally different things. :P

1. AW 3.1's release will cause a slight increase in interest, but after
about a month or so, will dwindle back down to almost nil.

2. The infection known as "Juno" will spread throughout the AW Universe,
rendering the entire AW population even more stupid.

3. Organizations will rise and fall within the span of a month.

4. The community newsgroup will become moderated again, this time by an
*actual* moderator!

5. COF will continue ignoring it's own customers in favor of trying to
woo larger corporations into partnerships. Next target: AOL/Time/Warner

6. UTN will continue to gain prominence in the AW community, eventually
taking over operation of AW ComReg! *cackle*

Ok, so maybe that last one was wishful thinking. But hey, a guy can
dream, right? :)
