Basically she is on about how meetings are often spontainous, hell im
infamous for calling spontainious meetings It got me thrown out of MaEC in
AWTeen (that and working too hard, TWICE) anyway thats besides the point...
The point is for all of you who want your meetings to me mapped out 7 years
into the future its _not_going_to_happen_ because noone changes their plans
for AW if you give them 2 minutes notice, 2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months
or 2 years because nomatter how much time you give them if people have
something better to do they will do it, and if they havent they will stay
for the meeting regardless, hell I can just go to bed and have a bot speak
whats being said so I dont have to be sat at the computer staring at it (a
good idea btw).
Sure some people get 'upset' when they dont get to all the meetings *glares
at certain lady* but the way I see it you usualy end up with a much better
attitude with spontainious meetings... Remember back to when AWI raised the
prices, a few of us went "right then!?" and within 5 minutes the meeting
hall at my mansion in Alphaworld was full and we ended up having to go
outside.
So its not that people dont like spontainious meetings, its only when they
are deliberatly timed to keep some people out or cause distruption to them
*glares at certain members of awteen core* that it should be considered a
problem, otherwise its all good unless it gets out of hand...
Anyway I have this f**king virus (the 1 that attacks Kazzaa although I only
have Imesh :S bah identical source code anyway...) and teach certain EXE's
the joys of what happens when you open a file in binary in C++ and slowly
begin using a seek an overwrite function ;)

Hmm upon closer inspection this site looks slightly out of it..
It says how they provide a free SDK kit.. hence, is this An AWI universe?
The emails are to the domain, not the activeworlds.com 1 so Id guess that
means its not AWI.
There is no support etc pages that are enabled or created...
So seriously what the hell is the deal with this universe, appart from the
absolutly pathetic attempts to make it seem european by using that lame
little Euro symbol for an E trick who in gods name is running the thing?

Sorry a little harsh, however what im trying to say is the data that is ate
by AW would be more than you could possibly ever imagine, I typically have a
misc folder of a gig just from AWTeen, AWRPG and 1 or 2 others, imagine that
for everywhere? It simply isnt logical or viable to go dishing out webspace
in such a way.
I agree they should be preserved, some websites do that, im some
circumstaces you can use web archive to get the pictures etc, not sure about
3.4+.
But simple maths... 350,000 users... x 20 mb free space
7,000,000MB
7,000GB
7TB
Yeah yeah I know its 1024 each time but you will live...
I must stress AW does not have the finance available to do such a thing to
the very best of my knowledge... not to mention 7TB HD's dont exist yet...
I know it is concerning, but its something we have to end up accepting, you
get nothing for nothing as they say.

While tearing though the cit database with a query bot it gives out

*Bangs head against wall* Gahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now your *really* beginning to take too much reading time...
I know, why don't you go and spend $1,000,000 and get a brand new universe,
a huge several TB server to give everyone who registers free webspace and
infinite bandwidth and transfer.
And hell your outspying who??? There are people in Active Worlds who have
spent ages learning to investigate such things and will probably end up
knowing more than you! Gawd get with the Programme
Jesuz if you actually bothered to read other posts you will know that
Community Revolts like this accomplish *nothing* unless you can hit AWI hard
with facts and figures why its good to their business model, Rick and JP are
not idiots if they think something would be globally beneficial and the
benefits outweigh the costs then there is a pretty high probability that
they will try it, I just cant see that being the case.... your not even
talking about having it for a finite time, your talking keeping this
webspace *forever* and that's just plain ridiculous. If its for file hosting
what can AWI even recover from it? Sites like google display adds but you
may have noticed adds don't appear when you use a downloaded file from
geocties in Active Worlds.
And if you bothered to ask you would know all you have to do to copy
actions, is to right click the object, tap insert to copy it and now you can
copy and paste its actions etc, the building inspector will annihilate the
object for you once you have unselected it.
