As some of you may have noticed, AWNews.com is currently down. This is
due to two things: 1) Cybor no longer has time to work on AWNews, and
has decided to hand over ownership to me, and 2) the fool didn't give me
enough info in order to transfer ownership for the domain name and site
hosting! :P

So, sometime around 10AM yesterday, the www.awnews.com domain name was
officially shut off, as it's account ran out on August 1st. So now I
have to quickly find out from Cybor how to renew the domain name account
before it's released to public bidding again, and how to transfer
ownership of the site's hosting.

In the meantime, I will be posting all AWNews stories here to the NGs
under the heading of [AWNews], so those of you with filters can simply
ignore such threads if you wish. Sorry for any inconvenience, and I hope
we can get AWNews back up and running soon!

No, it's like I said... they shut it off, but they haven't released it
to the public yet. If you do a WHOIS on the domain name, you'll see that
it's still owned by Cybor (Paul Rosania).

You are indeed painful...

You didn't have to jump down OneSummer's throat, however. Are you really that insecure about your AWTeen event that you have to belittle an AWEC event to make it look better? If your event was truly that great, you wouldn't have to say anything about it. Actions speak louder than words, after all. If anything, you've just given your event a bad name, because people will associate it with you.

Didn't the whole Xelnaga/Eric debacle teach you kids anything about PR? :P

Thank you for completely missing my point. Next time, breathe, type
slower, and actually pay attention to what it is you're replying to.

Since she's been posting this to every single NG, then the 3rd point in
your original reply was warranted. However, that still doesn't give you
the right to mock her event, and saying that it's "punney" and whatnot.
What I meant by the "actions speak louder than words" line was, if you
truly think her event sucks, then be sure the event you advertised is
that much better to drown her out, and leave it at that. In the end,
it'll be the public who decides which event is better, not you.

And, as I stated in my last post, by belittling OneSummer's event, you
may have just swung public opinion against you and the event you
plugged, which defeats the purpose of mentioning the event in the first
place. Way to go, Strike! :P

Still, since it's obvious you've never been given a proper lesson in
advertising and competition, allow me to offer this simple hint: Next
time you see an advertisement for an event that conflicts one of your
own, rather than attack the opposing event, write up a
counter-advertisement that plugs all the cool stuff in your event,
thereby making it look better than the opposing event without actually
attacking it directly. This results in you potentially getting more
people to come to your event, and you won't look like a total ass in the
process! It's a win-win situation!

Aug 17, 2002, 3:06pm

Erm, not quite. The object and the texture are independent of each
other. Once the object is loaded, then it goes about loading the
texture. If no texture is specified via a texture or animate command,
then it downloads the object's default texture. If you change an
already-loaded object's texture, then it just replaces the old texture
with the new texture. That's why, if you change it to a texture that's
not already in your cache, the object turns white/grey while the new
texture is downloading.

*blink* You sure can pull out a lot of stuff from one simple sentence.
More proof that subtlety is lost on the Internet...

The "crazy freak" comment was meant in jest. I would think the sentence
directly after that would have made that clear, but apparently not. I
have no ill will towards JFK2, and wish him a speedy recovery.

And where did I say Dion knowing JFK2 was a bad thing? I was just
curious why JFK2 sent it to him, as Dion's relationship with JFK2 isn't
exactly public knowledge. I was unaware that the two have been in
communication for some time now.

Assumptions are dangerous things, my friend. (especially in this
text-based environment) Stick to what was said, and not what you think
was said.

For those of you who've been keeping score (all 5 of you), AWNews.com is
officially down, and will be down for quite some time. For those who
haven't been following along, here's the scoop:

Cybor, the original founder of AWNews, decided he no longer had the time
to maintain the site. So, both he and I agreed to transfer ownership of
the site, including hosting and the awnews.com domain name, over to me.
Initially, he gave me FTP access to the site and told me he would get
the hosting and domain information.

Over the next few months, I tried (unsuccessfully) to get the
information from him. Then, Cybor decided that, rather than handing over
the accounts to me, he would just let them expire and I would have to
open my own accounts. And that's exactly what happened. On August 1st,
the domain name account expired and several days later, the domain
disappeared from the Internet.

However, I couldn't register the domain under my own name because the
domain registrar was still holding on to the domain even though it had
expired. After emailing them, they said that it would take upwards of 2
months before the domain would be released to the public and I could
register it.

Once the domain went down, I began a more frantic attempt to contact
Cybor in order to either get the login information from him so I could
renew it under my name, or get him to renew the domain and transfer it
to me.

After numerous emails and phone calls, I finally reached him last night,
only to be told that he no longer has access to the domain account, and
that the transfer of accounts, both for hosting and the domain name, is
not a straightforward process. Furthermore, he had proceeded to ZIP up
the entire AWNews directory tree and database, wipe it from the server,
leaving only the two ZIP files for me to download, and change the FTP
account so I couldn't log in.

So that's the story, and I'm left holding the entire AWNews site on my
own computer until I can find proper hosting for the site and get the
domain under my own name. And AWNews, for all intents and purposes, is
gone from the web, at least for now.

But, rest assured, AWNews is not down and out just yet. While I'm
waiting to get hosting and the domain, I'll be posting AWNews stories
here to the newsgroups, unless someone can offer me a more viable
temporary solution. Again, they will be prefaced with the [AWNews]
Heading, so those of you who want to filter it out can do so.

Sorry to those who actually care, but I will get AWNews back up and
running eventually. Neither rain.rwx, nor sleet.rwx, nor snow.rwx, nor
idiot founders, shall keep the virtual news from getting through! :P

Actually, I always considered AWNews to be in direct competition with
the newsgroups, since this is usually the place where people first hear
about happenings in AW. My hope was that eventually I would start seeing
people say "Did you guys see that story on AWNews?" in here, rather than
reporting on a story someone heard about in the NGs. ;)

Still, I've begun to learn that even the newsgroups aren't as widespread
as most people think. Back when I first announced AWNews' domain name
problems, and the subsequent new address for the site, I kept getting
tgrams from people asking when AWNews would be back up. Obviously, they
didn't read the post, or they would've known about the alternative address.

And, as usual, the main reason they don't read the NGs is because of all
the sillyness and pettiness that goes on in here and frankly, I don't
blame them. If it wasn't for the masochistic pleasure I get from
verbally smacking other people around in here, I'd be right there with
them. ;P

Not sure what you mean by "written in the AW style". (Didn't know AW had
a writing style) It doesn't seem like the story has much to do with AW
at all, only that it makes passing reference to certain AW things. (like
"GZ" and Gor)

Still, it seems like a nice enough story, but the writing style is a bit
unnerving. Maybe if it was told in 3rd person rather than 1st...?

Erm, I guess... Mixing first person and third person writing might be an
interesting idea, but I don't think that really come across as being
representative of AW.

At any rate, when you said it was an AW story, I thought you meant it
was actually about AW. I haven't actually read the entire story yet, but
how is it based off AW? Is there more to it than just the writing style?
