AWI is way understaffed and they can not remember to everything.
It was not my goal to "chastise the innocent" but tell that an email or gram to a staff member would solve the IO message problem.

Hi MPL Knight,

I did not want to interfere with your threads but since you explicitly addressed me you'll find my responses inline ...

I beg you pardon?
I never questioned the Freedom of Speech.
Friendship between Strike Rapier and me is oxymoron :)

This was a reply for my email which contained only the following sentence:

I hope I don't have to explain the meaning of it to you,

Please fix your signature and your news reader.
According to the RFCs the signature length shouldn't exceed 4 lines 72 character each.
Your newsreader doesn't places your signature to the proper location (at the end of the message) but it puts after your posted text - effectively clipping the quoted text.

I forwarded that post from my NG to here because Scented Nectar dos not have a citizenship.
Nice textures for everyone!


-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Freebies
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 15:21:11 -0500
From: Scented Nectar <scentednectar at rogers.com>
Newsgroups: AW.Community,AW.Worldbuilders

As many of you might know already, I began my 3d
adventures in Active Worlds. Then 3dAnarchy/Atmosphere
stole my heart away, before getting discontinued. A friend
of mine will soon be signing up for AW, and I couldn't resist
making textures for her to use. AW has made a number of
improvements since my time there, like having a lot more
objects that can use outside textures. Here are some
textures and animation strips that you can use in AW. You
have 2 choices. You can either download the files and keep
them on your own webspace, or you can direct link to them.
Please consider sending me an email with your build
location. :) I'd love to come visit and see how they are used.

There are 3 jpg animation strips and 21 textures that are
512 x 512. I've given them all fairly short names to save on
cell space when using the 'create texture' command.

Here's the url:

Very old error message.
animate me . 1 1 0 means you want the .jpg file to be displayed which of course doesn't exist.
Just ignore the error message :)

Update:

Thanks to AWI, all participating worlds will have tourist access enabled for the hunt.

We still accept worlds sign-up for the hunt! The submission is used by the bot, so please try to be correct when filling out the required fields.

The hunters can use more prizes :) Please consider donating some!

If you know some good trivia questions related to Easter, please add it to our collection. The bot will use all questions submitted during the hunt.

You earned a temporary ban _opportunity_ with your last attack on this newsgroup.
I asked you to obey the RFCs regarding to your signature (up to four (4) lines, 72 characters each) which you still refuse to do (I have to admit - you are on the good way!).
You are posting nonsense, junk or just simply trash in the group. The newsgroup is not a chat environment.
May I ask you to stick to the thread's topic and TRY to post a reasonable reply instead of your thought came to your mind with no connection to the topic?

My mom taught me, count up to 10 before you speak. Would you please count up to 100?


Thank you,

Your fear is justified in many aspects. Never use a third party program which asks your password, not your privilege pass.
OTOH - I checked Joeman's program and it is not passing the password to anywhere except to the universe server, so it is safe to use.

But ... It has the disadvantage that it logs you into the universe and your name (with AFK settings) will appear on your friends' the contact list.

BI is there and not sleeping BUT - it has one significant limitation:
The encroachment check is done only the nearest neighboring cells (8 cells plus the one the object is centered).
With a little mathematical calculation you can find that the largest object size which can be checked against encroachment is 14.1421 meter.
Unfortunately AWI let those new objects into AW though their sizes exceed this limit (they are 20x20 meter objects) no matter how much did I fight against it :(

PC Hamster asked me to post it here:


Hi everyone:

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

Of the entire podcasting community, I am THE ONLY one who chats in 3D via ActiveWorlds. Everyone else seems to like Second Life.

I'm doing EVERYTHING I can to promote ActiveWorlds within the podcasting community. But with the majority of them being Mac users, I need YOUR help in convincing those who are on the PC who, for one reason or another, can't or won't, use Second Life, to use ActiveWorlds instead.

But I'm only one tiny voice in a sea of other voices. It's like me going to the Black Hole better known as Oakland, CA and cheering for the Broncos (Yes I'm in Denver and I am a Bronco fan - A very loyal one, thank you very much :) ).

I've even reposted my interview with OneSummer in an effort to use that as a means of promoting AW and hopefully getting some podcasters to get citizenships so they can build THEIR OWN little town or palace or whatever.

There's a discussion taking place on the Podcast Pickle Message Board at http://www.podcastpickle.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7026 I can also start another thread over there too if there's enough interest in the AW community to promote AW to the MANY MANY uncoverted podcasters out there.

Please take the time to log on and do your part to promote AW within the podcasting community. LET THEM KNOW AW EXISTS!!! Let them know how big and influential the AW community is. My posts alone have by and large gone ignored. But if MANY of us started posting on there about AW, people WILL pay attentiion and some will even wanna download the AW Browser and do a little exploring. ;)

I'd post this on the AW groups, but my cit. is expired (This whole thing with podcasters being on SL is now getting me inspired to consider the ANNUAL citizenship as opposed to a monthly one when I go to renew). Andras, if you could pass this along, it'd be MUCHO appreciated dude! :)

Cheers :)
