Corection: E N Z O and JP own AW now!

Jul 18, 2002, 9:53am
As a matter of fact, yes, Netscape is infinitely better (And I have no
love for AOHell. I've been using Netscape long before AOL bought them).
It has everything (browser, email, newsreader, HTML editor, etc) in one
tight package and is more robust and not as virus-prone as IE/Outlook,
plus has the benefit of being based on *drum-roll* OPEN SOURCE.

And, if you want to get technical, there're two working versions of IE,
too. According to current browser usage statistics, there are actually
more people still using IE 5.x than IE 6.x. What does that tell you? :P

Follow-up to general discussion (If I did it right, that is :P)

NeverWinter....

Jul 15, 2002, 10:03am
I agree that a lot more can be done on the 3D/building/interactive side
of things, but we don't have to go full-blown gaming to succeed. Look at
it this way: Even with the "low-key" 3D of AW's engine and the rather
extravagant prices for citizenships and worlds, people keep coming back.
People keep logging in on a daily basis, and AW continues to get new
citizens every day. (Granted, they may not be at the same levels as last
year, but hear me out.) So why do they keep coming back? It's not as if
they don't have anywhere else to go.

I'll tell you why: It's the community. Roland put it best, "Our user
base and community have always been the envy of all the other online 3D
ventures." People keep coming back because of what's happening here, not
because of how graphically pretty the worlds look or because it has all
sorts of sexy features. Even with a depleted user base, there's always
something happening here. All it would take would be for AWI to see that
and use it as advertising and the population here would skyrocket.

But while only Rick and JP can do something about features and such,
*we* can do something about the community. Start events, get some new
org going or get involved with an existing one, build, chat, and
participate. If we can keep this community strong, despite Rick and JP's
bungling, we could turn AW into the biggest word-of-mouth success story
in history!

As I said in my column last month, Rick and JP have dug their own hole,
and we need to stop looking to them to fix all our problems. We need to
take the initiative to get this thing back off the ground. You can sit
and complain, or you can do something about it. Which would you rather do?

My point is that AW shouldn't be trying to compete with 3D Games, in
fact, I highly doubt they even *could* compete with all the 3D games out
there, even if they had all the spiffy gaming features you were looking
for. The market is way too saturated as it is.

While I agree that gaming features could greatly enhance the community
aspect (they aren't mutually exclusive, y'know), I also think the
community aspect of AW is just as marketable as gaming, if not more so.
Sometimes, people just want a place to hang and flex their creative
muscles, which is harder to do within the confines of a gaming-oriented
environment. I think AWI would be able to draw in a *much* wider range
of users if they billed AW as being a community-based software package
that also has gaming abilities, rather than a gaming-based platform that
you can also chat in. It's simply just a matter of emphasis.

Oh, and last I checked, no one is allowed to go out in public naked,
regardless of "sexual gain" or not. It's a little thing called "indecent

concerning Xelagot bug reports

Jul 24, 2002, 2:56pm
Whatever you say, Eep.

I've (thankfully) never had to personally deal with you in a customer
capacity, but the way you treated Just In was uncalled for, regardless
of how "little tolerance" you have for questions asked in the "wrong"
medium.

Next time, if it really burns you up that badly when someone posts
suggestions/bug reports in the newsgroups, send the person a private
email explaining your policy, or simply ignore the post outright. But
don't jump down a guy's throat just because he asks a couple innocent
questions. It certainly doesn't make *you* look any better...

Actually, you don't have the "right" to be treated respectfully in
public. You *do* have the right to privacy, but that doesn't include
someone with a loose tongue and a grudge against you spilling the beans
about you in public. The best thing you can do is just not reveal
private information on the internet, as you can never really tell who it
is you're telling it to. Yea, it's not nice when someone humiliates you
in public, but if you don't give them any ammo, they have nothing to
humiliate you with. :)

I agree that we should all strive to treat everyone else as equals and
with kindness, but no one has the "right" to be respected. In fact, part
of the right of "free speech" means that we also have the right to *not*
respect people if we so choose. Respect has to be earned, and while it's
unfortunate that some punk managed to overhear your private conversation
and spread it to the world, there's not much anyone else can do about
it. You'll just have to be more careful in the future regarding private
matters on the internet.

And I'm not trying to sweep this under the rug and say that it never
happens to other people, just that more caution is probably the only
viable solution to such a problem.

Kieffer, you'd stand out in an insane asylum, so you're attempts at
disguise are futile, at best. We all know who you are and what you're

be forgotten, but if that conversation is a) real and b) recent, then
it's obvious you haven't changed a bit.

For someone who wants to see this issue gone and buried, you certainly
seem to be happy to talk about it a lot. :P Why so defensive? If it's
just "some IDIOT", then ignore him, as you suggest, and move along.
Don't reply to every single other person who tosses in an opinion.

Or, could your defensiveness be a knee-jerk reaction due to the ring of
truth? In case you missed it, this warning by IHNK was never about you
and Just In, but rather your apparently clinical obsession with young
boys. IHNK was just doing his civic duty by warning the community that a
known sex offender was back in their midst, as any upstanding citizen
would have done.

Now, if you have actually changed and the past is past, then shouting
"IDIOT" all over the place isn't going to change people's impression of
you. It will take time and good actions on your part to get people to
actually respect you again. (if they ever did in the first place) But as
far as I'm concerned, you haven't changed one iota, and I should hope I
never run into you in the AW Universe, or it won't be pretty.

established yourself as a flaming idiot, JFK2 or not, so I don't even
have to try anymore :)

BTW, you might want to have someone look at this "butt" obsession of
your, Kieffer. Sounds like a personal problem...

Hate to break it to you, Chris, but technically speaking, he's not a
mature adult. He has what's known as Klinefelter's Syndrome, which is a
genetic abnormality that gives males an extra X chromosome. Besides
causing all sorts of odd sexual abnormalities, it also can cause serious
language impairment. Unfortunately, not a lot is known about XXY adults
and how the more serious symptoms affect them.

http://www.nichd.nih.gov/publications/pubs/klinefelter.htm for more info.

Of course, language impairment alone doesn't explain some of his
stranger habits. There are some studies which indicate that older XXY
males have a history of psychological problems, possibly due to not
getting the proper attention while growing up, but they were still able
to overcome their pasts. Pity Kieffer can't seem to do the same...

Relax, Bruce... That was a fake conversation that Joe was using to prove
a point (I think)...

As for Flagg, he certainly would seem to be the next likely candidate.
But who knows... maybe he actually renewed his contract?
