I've been around the Internet for awhile, and on almost every forum I see a
"general" category that allows people to post whatever the heck they want
(except for spam and other junk), be it off-topic or not. In fact, one of
the greatest "General" forums is at xwlegacy.net. Go there if you would
like an example, and be sure to look at the "Questions" thread. :)
I can't say the same for newsgroups, becuase I'm relatively new to that
scene. But the simplest solution for this eep vs. almost everyone else war
is to create a "general" newsgroup that folks like Avenger can post their
milk threads in. That way the "Community" newsgroup can stay on topic.
I think the reason forums have a general category is to keep flame wars like
this to a minimum. In the case of this Active Worlds newsgroup, I'm 100%
positive this is a solution acceptable for both parties. Your thoughts? :)

Heyo buddy, what's wrong with the PKs? They are certainly a LOT of help
when it comes to some of the more... malevolent and script-kiddie type
customers that AWCI has. Certainly the PKs as individuals have different
ways of handling things. Some of them don't handle things very well at all.
What I would do is reserve judgement until every single one of them has
handled the same type of case. If the majority of them fail miserably in my
eyes, by all means I would tell them that they should restructure the group!
m0e and MIKsam are trying their hardest to keep their PKs (and future PKs)
respectable. Just like cops, sometimes good ones can go bad. And just like
police also, should you pass judgement on anything, don't judge the police
force on the actions of a few individuals within the force. Most of the
Peacekeepers do try to make life easier for the common user, and for that I
respect them immensely.

I wouldn't go as far to saying it's a monopoly. As you say, Blaxxun has
holdings in the 3-D universe setting too. They are comparable in size and
user base to AWCI. Therefore, it is not a monopoly. Now Microsoft.. now

Good things that AW has done... hmm... let's see...
1) Creating a group of AW users, like ourselves, that can help us with any
problems we may have, but who are also accountable to a higher authority.
Peacekeepers. :)
2) Bots are nice, and very useful. They can't stay running 24/7 for most
users though. :(
3) The free citizenships when you buy a world server (would eliminating
the cit accounts bring down the cost of the server? If so, may be good as
an optional plan)
4) You are making an effort to break down the barrier of "They never listen
to us." If this is working remains yet to be seen.
5) X objects. :)
6) Tech Talks (though their usefulness still remains to be seen, it lets us
know that we shouldn't be taking our frustrations with the browser out on
Roland)
7) Moving and rotating objects (just needs a little more improvement to let
avatars ride on them)
8) Vevo. Is this AWCI-sponsored?
9) The ability to fly. While taken for granted, it lets us cross terrain
much faster than by walking.
10) Tech support maybe? I've never had to go to you for help. Yet. ;)
So I don't really know. Perhaps some others could clarify this?
Also, Moria made an interesting point about having a group, like the
Peacekeepers, be the common user's voice in all things AW. This could be
like a House of Representatives or something? Maybe it could go as far as
to hold "elections" for the covetted 10-20 positions on that panel. Of
course this would only work if AWCI did sponsor it, like it sponsors the
Peacekeepers and various other groups. I can drop this into the suggestions
box if ya want. ;)

SW Chris's Droid Spy Log: VIDEO FILE
Alone in a dark cavern, a lone figure kneels before a pedestal. Ominous
Sith music begins to play over the room's speaker system and a huge hologram
materializes over the pedestal. It is none other than the Sith Lord, Darth
Sidious. His cowl of his robe is raised to hide his face.
The hologram spoke. "Rise."
The figure, cloaked in survival garb, stood up, still hunched over in a
servile state of submission.
"You have done well, Nornny. The plan is proceeding as I have forseen. Soon
you will be the lone Survivor, and I will rise to usurp the power of the
Active Worlds and give this galaxy server the leadership it truly deserves."
"Yes, Lord Sidious. But what about Gamer? He could ruin everything."
"My apprentice, Darth Leaf, will take care of him in due time. That is if
he doesn't blunder it like that sniveling tattooed freak Darth Maul. 'Oh my
horns hurt. Oh I need to do my makeup. Oh my contact lenses came out
again. How can I look menacing without my contact lenses?' Heh. Gamer is
no threat."
"And of the others? Syntax is spending too much time with the Typo tribe
members"
"I have Syntax tied down in endless debate over the outcome of the game. He
will bow to my wishes until it is time to be rid of him. And the others are
no threat whatsoever.
Birdmike has been tarred and feathered. Alphabit, Casay, and kellee are
drunk off of the booze I slipped into their little Kool-Aide like
concoction. The side effects alone will keep them in bed for at least three
to four months.
The secret droid army of Eeps that I financed for you will chase Tony M
around the cosmos for all time. Or at least until we run out of oil and
lubricant. SW Chris will be busy chasing the secret droid army around, so
he is of little bother. And you are playing Wing like a master pianist
plays his piano. Like I said, everything is fine."
"But..."
"No BUTTS. Especially in the General.Discussion newsgroup. Do not bother
me with trivial questions again! Normally I would zap you right now, but
since you're so new at this servant thing, I'll cut you a break. This time.
Next time, I'll make sure you WILL be the weakest link. Goodbye."
"Yes, Lord Sidious."
The hologram faded out. Nornny abandoned his servile posture and stood to
full height, and began to laugh maniacally, over and over again. *The
camera pans back to reveal the whole chamber. Nornny is just a spec on the
floor, his laughing reverberating off of the chamber walls.* And with a
mighty ZAP, Nornny is shocked. The laughing stops, and a voice can be
heard...
"Remember that I am watching you. Do not fail me."
*Nornny is nursing his bruised bum as the camera fades out*
A glint catches his eye. An Imperial probe droid! Nornny grabbed for his
blaster. The probe droid fired off a round before a scintellating scarlet
bolt from Nornny's blaster merged with the camera lens...
*Static*
VIDEO FILE END
PERSONAL COMMENTS
Hmm... I wonder what this could mean? I must keep an eye on Nornny. He is
the creator this game of course. Rigging the game *has* to be out of the
question, right Mr. Burnett? :) But this video implies that he is the
mastermind behind this whole scheme too, I think. Very interesting
indeed...
