On the screenshots the AVs there look like facers.
I think that would be a big step back for AW.

It WAS interesting until they started to force people to

That was the point when I uninstalled it.

Does anyone have an idea how many of the voters really
tried to see everything that was nominated?

I saw about 90% but I didn't meet many people on my journey.
I saw a lot of stuff that was great and the decision what
to vote for was really not easy. And it took a lot of
time, although I traveled as a tourist most of the time
and didn't have telegrams to answer.

Especially it is not easy to close the eyes against the
sympathy for the nominated person and really vote for the
category values.

For models and avatars there would be a solution, a world
like the ObjectD' world, where people can see all this
work in one place.

I see no really fair solution for complete environments
and technical stuff to bring everyone to a decision so
these categories could be a typical commitee thing.

The misc. categories could be done by both together, mixed
voting system with 50% / 50% counting.

hm, the problem seems to be a bug in the universe server.
Today I changed username and someone else took my username
for a while - for some jokes.

Now no bot works anymore, I tried new priv. passwords but
no luck. The builder reports RC_UNABLE_TO_CONNECT (429),
one of my own ones (old SDK) means it is more a
RC_ACTING_PASSWORD_INVALID (43)

Both bots work fine in a different universe.

*sigh*

Crossposting is placing one message into several groups.
You did it by replying to a message that is crossposted,
in this case to all 6 open groups on this server.
Your reply appeared in all newsgroups, I removed 4 of them
from the address list so this reply will only appear in 2
groups.
Crossposting is annoying in most cases but if you do not
check the list for each message you reply to it will occur
sometimes although you don't wanted to do it.

In most cases browser recognize crossposted messages and
will mark them "read" in all groups once you have read
it in one of them.

Most people crosspost to "Bots" and "SDK" because they
cannot decide which of them would be the best place for
their message. This can be useful in few cases and is
done by adding a second (third ...) group name to the
receipient list.

Nothing to be afraid about.

An off-topic post is by far not abusive enough to ban
someone or take away her/his web account.
Reasons to do that are continous spamming, flooding,
posting huge binaries or abusive contents, not just
off-topic posts.

This is not unusual, he likes to draw attention by

get used to it - but I guess you will not find a way

make a propdump (it's a text file) and filter ("find.exe")
all occurances of your citizen number or use a builder
bot to scan and apply a citizen filter for the scan.

I have less trouble with KAH's choice of words than with yours
sometimes and others seem to understand him quite well too.
If you had trouble with his postings in no.alt.activeworlds I
would understand that, hard to read for me too, but his English
seems quite clear and understandable to me.

Btw.: I'm sure you know where most of the frequent writers in
this NG come from, and be sure, a lot of AW citizens come from
Scandinavia.

Sorry, I know that this isn't the right place for private
fights but please allow me to put some things right (it
will not become a flame war) :



> 1. I was offered a lot in the world "Anywhere" a world
> where as far as I could tell everyone was mature and in
> Eminent Domain. I was delighted to accept.

Wrong, dear Bodhi, Dreamtime told me you asked Keti for
building rights in "Anywhere" and CarolAnn, the world owner,
told me you did not ask at all.


> 2. I built a fairly complex structure off away from
> everyone else without hindrance or lag to anyone else's build.

wrong again, "Anywhere" is a world wit 2 layers and on the
empty plot above my frame rate was at about 0.6

> It was built with the approval and acceptance of the world
> owner Carolann.

Oh yes? See answer to #1


> 3. Like all my builds it was laggy however it did not
> encroach and the world owner did not mention this to me nor
> did the caretaker Wilby or the caretaker Keti who had set me
> up with a lot initially.

Wilby wanted to keep lag extra low in "Anywhere". And Keti
hardly really knows you so she didn't know whom she gave a lot.
You even damaged Wilbys stuff at GZ before I removed all your
buildings in "Anywhere" and only removed it because CarolAnn
insisted on that.


> 4. Ananas gramed me saying: 'I deleted your entire
> build as your lag is unacceptable.'

Yes, that's right. I asked CarolAnn and talked to Wilby
before I removed the building, they gave me their OK and
I proceeded. I sent this telegram to show that I take
full responsibility for this action. CarolAnn and Wilby
did not encourage me to remove the building but they
gave me free hand.
After that was done I revoked all of Bodhis rights in
"Anywhere" - but - see #5


> 5. When I went to see, all that was left was a barrier that

I didn't add anything there at GZ, I just used a builder bot to
selectively remove all the property of Bodhi.
This "part of GZ" that Bodhi deleted later, using the priviledges
of his wife Dreamtime without asking her first (she married
him because he needs a greencard) was not only Wilbys building
but had quite a big radius.
Asked if he did it he lied until CarolAnn could proof what had
really happened using her worlds log.
Btw.: I used my own priviledges to remove Bodhis stuff and did
not hide behind the coat of someone else.

More than one reason to delete it, one of them Bodhis behaviour in
the news groups, but my problem with Bodhi is quite old.
But wrong again, I DID contact the world owner when I deleted, she
was even there when I did it. She gave me the right and I used it.
She is friendly and would never have done it herself though.

I was not unhappy that Bodhi was angry at me, that was something
I can understand and accept (although I don't care much about it).
I was mad at him because he cowardly vandalized buildings of my
friends using Dreamtimes priviledges and hiding behind her.

Well, and the avatar I replaced was one I made for Bodhi because
Dreamtime asked me to make it for him. I never liked him but she
is my friend (she STILL is my friend!) so I agreed.
About the sharing : Bodhi does not share an object path with
CarolAnn and NurseMom, the one he uses is Dreamtimes object
path, CarolAnn and NurseMom use mine. I replaced the avatar
with the list name "Bodhi" by this sprite to show what I think
about his behaviour (=> http://oct31.de/obj/textures/bodhi.jpg)


> Suffice to say he is out of my worlds ... Symbolic and A'Party!
> For life.

Hm, if I recall right, Dreamtime owns Symbolic and you just have
taken control so much that she didn't like to go there anymore.
Unfortunately I never received any response to 4 emails to
abuse at activeworlds.com
where I forwarded several hate telegrams where Bodhi called
me nazi and terrorist and other similar words. Be sure I will
not set a foot into A'Party - Symbolic maybe after Bodhi has
his greencard - if Dreamtime can gain control back after they
are divorced.

As a SolServer is nothing but a UniServer with a limited
licence you should be allowed to put up your own, customized
AW client that has an own INI file (with host=/port= of your
SolServer) and own message files, and an own startup screen
I think.

The SolServer world is not connected to the AW universe and
no teleport between the (one) SolServer- (or Galaxy-) world
is possible.

Note, this is based on a second-hand information :

I doubt that upgrade will be possible, strategy seems to be to
let the different licences look like different products in
order to avoid upgrade and force buying new.
A friend tried to upgrade from a galaxy to a universe and he
kept his galaxy and his money because he didn't want to buy
a second server licence and an upgrade of his current one
was not accepted by AW.

I'm not so sure if that is really a good strategy but it's their
product (and their lost money in this case)

In an easrier posting I said that no one cares about a

It now showed that this isn't true, I was didn't have
enough patience. Earlier today a PK visited and talked
to me about it and told me that she had spoken to the
reported person and asked him to stop his telegrams.

My thanks go to AW and the PKs

NetScape 4.76 (my favourite):

Problem is that some tables work with fixed table width values
instead of using width="xx%".
The width that NetScape shows is correct, the bug is in IE,
that modifies the table width although it is given in fixed
values.

Mixing width values absolute and in % often causes a problem
because NetScape uses the absolute values and doesn't modify
the width depending on the browser window width.

Some of the table style attributes are not supported in
NetScape but it doesn't make me wonder that it's not 100%
HTML compatible :

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

I think if the width problem is fixed the other (minor)
incompatibilities will not disturb too much, the rest looks
OK in my browser.

You have both optionns, fixed width and percentage, but I think
if you specify a fixed with it is a good thing if you receive a
fixed width.
