Why do you keep referring to it as a "tile"? The proper term is "cell"...

Again, it has nothing to do with the newsgroup; you should have therefore switched to private email.

>Geez....Must we be so FORMAL about EVERYTHING???? *sheesh!*

There are some things, such as your post, that don't belong in the NG and obviously belong in private email.

Your email address doesn't just appear in properties; as above, it appears in replies. My newsreader shows the email address with the username of the poster as well.

[View Quote] >[...] When did you come into this discussion anyway?

Since this is a public forum, anybody is free to reply to anybody; there is no sense of "butting into" a discussion. If you don't want people "butting" in, it should have been a private email from the start.

Lindows uses the same (or at least is based on) code that the WINE emulator for Linux uses-- hence, it really can't run ALL Windows programs. Either way, Lindows seems to be more focused on Linux apps than Windows (at least non-business apps for Windows)

"AWNews.org" makes sense to me.

Um, no, it isn't. Sorry. Software filters aren't solutions; actual parental guidance is.

[View Quote] >I did Goober. However I think that as AW improves the browser, the old AW will look more and more outdated and will EVENTUALLY have to be retired. Hopefully by then, most (if not all) of the objects will be migrated in some form over to the New AW, which will be ANYTHING but an experiment.

AlphaWorld was the founding world of ActiveWorlds itself--do you really think they're gunna scrap it?

>The major problem AW will encounter during such a migration process will be builds (and in some cases entire towns) created by people who are no longer citizens, but have yet to make the NAC list. But then too, between AWCC and the AWHS, the builds could be placed under the auspicies of either group.

What migration process? NewAW != AlphaWorld. They're two completely different worlds.

>Alternatively, AW could also award such builds to the cit who owns the nearest adjacent builds and/or sponsor and "Adopt-A-Build" program whereas cits can place their name into the ring to "adopt" or be "awared" such a build much like WebRing does (or claims it does) with site rings which have been abandoned.

>In any case, the build would have to meet a set criteria (or a portion thereof) so that builds owned by cits whose cit expired less than a certain period of time don't wind up losing their builds simply due to credit card problems encountered during the renewal process. In other words, the cit would have to have been expired for SEVERAL MONTHS with no hope of renewal before such a build makes the adoption list.

>An adoption program would not only preserve the build, but also give current cits the ability to improve on them as needed too. :-).

I don't want someone who has been in AW for 5 minutes to take my buildings that took 5 months to do just because I decided AW wasn't my place to be anymore.

I don't see how [several] requests to slow down the number of posts you make is a diversion...

>It seems those who have stuck with AW for so long are too weary or blinded to band together and condemn inhumane conditions.

Most of the AW old-timers know that AWI is not one for change by community demand. What you're doing is noble, but you need to realize that most of what you're doing has been done before, and rehashing it won't have much of an effect.

>I have a responsibility to speak out against the bad treatment that happens here.

Please tell us (in a single post, please) what kind of "bad treatment" you see happening (and where it is, of course).

>And it is true, it is evil human treatment.

If it's humane treatment (re-read what you said in the quote above), why is it evil? :)

>Attacks happen here every day in one form or another.

Newsreaders offer a filtering option for a reason; you either use the filters provided, or you hold your peace as you read over what you find as material that "attacks" you.
