What about them, indeed? Create a different website? And call the award
something else? Maybe keep the same name?
Whether you decide to create two awards or choose one or the other, my
arguement still stands.

Such worlds would be minimal in number, at best. That would double the cost
since one would be maintaining both worlds.
Then again it might just prove more economical just to not allow that kind
of stuff in one's world. But that's just me being fecisious. :) Bad joke?
Perhaps.

Ah, you have just stumbled across one of the finer points of politics;
Insulting another without really doing so. One on the receiving end of such
subtlety cannot fight back very easily with words at the risk of sounding
much less intelligent than his argumentative opponent. And that is what
separates mature discussion from "flaming": word choice.

Look, you have the thanks of 150 new citizens. You have my support. You
have SW City's support. You have the support of your community that you
built from the ground up, which from my understanding is quite large! And
I'm sure you have the support from many many people who post here and don't.
You do a good thing for this community. And you care about it. Otherwise
you wouldn't be this flustered over what a few people think of you.
Shouldn't that be enough? Why are you going to throw all that away?
Yes, I understand that criticism frustrates you. But look at ENZO. This
guy's flame retardant suit is virtually disintegrated and he's still hanging
around. He didn't call it quits because he never got any recognition for
his efforts. And he has the thanks of many of us who are still here.
Personal attacks need to be taken lightly because hey, nobody really knows
you and who you are. Anybody who attacks your worlds are morons. That's
simple. They have their opinions, and that's all they'll be. Opinions.
And anybody in the public AW spotlight has to deal with that.
These are the two sides of the scale. And I think all of the silent support
that you have going outweighs all of the negativity towards you or your
worlds. So please, give it one more chance. After all, next year you're a
shoe in for the next CY Awards. :)

Then give them a chance to figure things out on their own. Tourists are part
of AW's future, and so _were_ MrBruce's worlds because of that. You owe him
an apology. It is not MrBruce's fault that some tourists act stupid. You
gotta think these things through, Brock. I'm rather disappointed in you.

You realize there are bigots who hate AWTeen for what it is? The place that
you hang out in to get away from tourists? Can you understand that? Then
perhaps you can understand why 100% of everyone in here thinks you are being

Well, the entire issue being discussed is not just about morality. Btw I
agree with you entirely on that part of it, kellee. One part is what
parents might think if they saw adult worlds being promoted and awarded for
their efforts. And yet another is that because of ENZO's declaration that
the CYAwards world will be set at the world rating of its highest winner's
(or is it nominee's?) world rating, either way a part of this community is
going to be alienated; either kids whose parents monitor the content of
what they do, or adult worlds that allow x-rated activity to go on.
For the first time in its history, the CY Awards is being forced to define
just what makes up the community: people or worlds. If CyCom puts a cap on
the maximum rating of a world that is allowed to be nominated for a CY, then
every person can still participate, it is only the content of certain worlds
that will be excluded. But if they do not, then many kids will be excluded
from the CY's.

"Download all". But there is also a different line where I can fill in the
exact number of headers I want to download. I tick THAT line and ask for 50
or 100 headers, depending on how active I estimate that particular newsgroup
has probably been since I last looked at it. And... this is important... I
check the box that says something like "Mark the remainder as read" so that
those thousands of ancient headers won't be downloaded at all.

usually want to read old stuff again.

A simpler solution would be to pester the company who publishes your
newsgroup administration software to fix that bug. :) In the mean time, I
think we can all live with the reindexing with the solutions presented by
Lara and kellee below.

Then who has the superior news reader? I use outlook express. I can
configure my news reader to do it. Outlook Express is available on every
machine. So the way I see it, you got a choice to use your non-superior
news reader or Outlook Express. Microsoft sucks, and I feel like I'm eating
poison when I promote their products, but their news reader is okay. So in
conclusion, it's not Enzo's fault. Bear with it till they get the software
fixed, or get a different reader. :)

AW is a PC-based product... But anyways, for those who want to shell out
money for an emulator, it is also available for Macintosh. I've used it.
And Netscape, which Lara posted a solution on, is available for Linux, and
that takes care of 99% of AW users and probably ALL of the newsgroup users.
If the mods stop moderating, they're likely not to start back up again once
they get a new build of Dnews. And I think the newsgroups just got about
100% better when the moderators became active. I don't want that to stop.
So either they stop moderating, or we live with the reindexing until they
can get their Dnews fixed.

But the fact remains that it's your choice you're using your Xnews. You
could always use Netscape.
