So.... what you are saying is...

They should hide behind a mask so when they make mistakes they are not held
responsable, lets take into account the hundred or so GK abuse reports that
get sent in each year... How many GK's have we seen dismissed due to huge
abuse of rights? Zero.

If people use rights in AW, they should be held accountable for them, hell I
am when im on PS in AWTeen, everyone else is, the peacekeepers are, why not
GK's? Could it be because they make bad descisions.

Chris is permitted personal time you know :O Hell with the length of time I
bug him he needs one, however like all AWI staff he can keep AWLD rights on
in AWI worlds just to ensure that nothing 'happens' if you know what I mean.

They finally got a single person to advertise with them!

! at Mart remains dead, opportunity lost
NewAW remains dead, opportunity lost
No Gor universe w/ higher charges, opportunity lost
No package citizenships, opportunity lost
No plugin servers, opportunity lost
No tech talks, opportunity lost

Mountain Myst gone, image weakened
Tourist building gone in AW, image weakened
E N Z O acting like a muppet on Newsgroup, image weakened
Major Gatekeeper abuse, image weakened

Christmas offers, image strengthened

Chrispeg arrived, abilities strengthened
Ray arrived, abilities strengthened

Question is, where is all of this money going to? presuming anything about
340,000 is active, and has been for 2 years we have:

Citizenships: $70
Worlds: 1000, averages about P-40/10: $220
Universes Hosted: $900

Income (approx):
-----------------------------------
Citizenships: $70 x 20,0000 = $1,400,000
Uni Hosts: $900 x 20 (approx) = $18,000
Worlds: $220 x 1000 = $220,000
Various misc projects: $500,000
Total: $2,138,000

Staff (approx):
-----------------------------------
Coders: 2x $50,000 p/a
Support: 1x $30,000 p/a
Art and Such: 1x $30,000 p/a
CEO / CFO: 2x $80,000
Total: $320,000

Opperating (approx):
-----------------------------------
Servers: $30,000
Offices: $50,000
Misc: $50,000 (most likely wayy over-estimate)
Total: $130,000

Approximate Total
-----------------------------------
Total: $1,688,000

Misc:
-----------------------------------
Browsers Released: 2
Special Browsers: > 2
Advertisers Gained: 1 [I mean what the hell happened to Josh C?]
AWI Staffers up at 1am: 1 (Stacee)

All at my best approximation, of course.

Hehehe at

These significant strides and improvements would not be possible without
programmers, artists, support and staff. Activeworlds has
grown in each of these areas over the past few years. Where we once had a
programming staff of 1 lonely superhero, Roland, we now
have 5 programmers, we have hired artists, customer service representatives
and many more, most of them people from the AW community
who you know a on a first name (or at least an AW name :) basis. Almost
everyone here at the office was once a citizen who loved AW
and wanted to make it better!

Now they have 2 coders, and their primary support person had to leave :O

AW GZ needs completely destroying up to 20 coordinates in every redirection,
and being remade - properly - without all these vandalismic signs easily
visible, heck terrain the ruddy thing with hills!

Of course, move the existing GZ elsewhere, to a backup world - but its got
to go out of the 'flagship world' - It just looks crap.

The 'advanced features' tab is the best: allowing you to easily browse all

For a start, hosting an OP on XP Pro is a bad idea - you can only have 10
simultainious connections (thats 3.3 users in your world). You need a proper
server class OS like 2003 or .NET

You don't usually have a contract when something is free, meaning you cannot
expect anything.

Also though, just because you pay doesnt mean that you can expct anything
without a contract.

I do believe there are 3 situations in when this is allowed by the GK
guidelines, but I deleted the telegram they were in, anyone care to post
them?

Oh yes... lets eject him, and then not be responsable for our actions... =\

We have already seen examples of the GK's not following rules, the sexual
chosing comment is completly illegal, at least in europe.

Well of course they are going to reoffend if they are being ejected
incorrectly.

They shouldent be, they are not their for their own personal domination...
Yesh the GK's have gone to pot since Skyee died.

Yet a lot of them spew completly incorrect macros in the wrong situations..
