He's right, you know. You were fine in the sw city thread but here you're
off-base. A newsgroup isn't a chat room, although it certainly acts like it
sometimes. It's meant to share ideas and discuss issues, not to just chat.
In that sense, useless clutter like this post is discouraged. And hey, now
you know, so you won't do it in the future. :)

You're one to talk. Is there a shred of civility left in shrivelled frame
of yours, old man? Or shall we just call you Grampa Grumps?

I'm looking for some urls to some active television stations. Assuming
there are any, of course. :) I need four of them, and if you guys know of
any, please post their urls here. Thanks!

The terminology of a "television station" is used because that's what it
most closely resembles. No more. No less.

If you feel that you can afford to host a streaming media server for us and
buy all the equipment and build the sets for us to make a quality
production, then feel free to start your own, not to mention world hosting
fees. None of us have that kind of money to throw around. Otherwise, as
they say in all of the video production websites that I hang out at, "Do it
yourself and then we'll be impressed. Theory will get you nowhere if you
don't apply it. And nobody will apply it for you."

PeaceKeepers: A Modest Proposal (rant)

That's so ingenious I wish I would have thought of it.

BTW, if you're going to pitch this to AWI, you need to call them so they
know you're serious. Any bozo can e-mail them so your proposal will most
likely get lost in the sludge.

I totally support this, especially if it were in Global mode. Genious.

And worse...

What if it was a customer who was looking for some telecommunications
solution for his business? Think of how many thousands of dollars that one
PK could have cost the company, just because an Australian happened to have
the same name as an American serial killer who's been dead for fifteen
years?

Let's be reasonable here. Odds are, that didn't happen. But it could have.
A little cultural awareness here might help.

It makes no sense because you misunderstand. That's okay. Here's how it
works.

The bot doesn't monitor any chat, nor does it record it or send it back to
the PK. It only listens for the phrase "PK Help", and when it's said
anywhere in, say, alphaworld, it notifies the PK who said it and where that
person is currently located. The PK can then teleport there at his or her
leisure. (it could optionally also telegram or notify the person who said
the phrase that a pk will appear in the area shortly).

The phrase should be hard-coded into the bot to prevent tampering by PKs who
would perhaps like a bit more control.

If someone needed a PK, they would gram the PK. Couldn't have said it
better myself. Perhaps you see Goober's point after all.

The bot would also not need to be run on the PK's machine, but could simply
be a server that the PK logs into.

Please, let's not fight. We both want the best for Active Worlds, so let us
all continue these discussions in a spirit of peace. Let us not take sides.
Let us discuss this under the banner of users who want the best for AW.

Now, to be honest, I think Goober's proposal is fair. And while I don't
share his belief that the PKs should be disbanded outright, it is a noble
gesture toward compromise, don't you think so? That doesn't mean of course
that we can't fiddle around with the details, though, so the PKs don't feel
constrained and the regular users have the freedom they want.

Hear hear. Let's remember the old times, but let's make the best of what we
got and try to make it better. Even if it wasn't what we were expecting.

What? Someone from AWI? You have to call them up and talk to them in
person (and get past the phone screener) so they know you're really
interested. Being qualified is a different matter. Hope you're that too.
:P

But we can rebuild it. We're not expecting a sudden miracle here.

Windows Media Encoder can't capture the video though. The movie maker is
decent for editing though.

Snagit or FRAPS works best to capture video. Or if you feel really
inventive, use an s-video cable and record your video card's signal directly
to a camcorder to get the highest quality, frames per second, and resolution
possible. >:)

Of course to do any kind of video capture with AW, it is recommended to have
a good video card so you can actually reach 30fps in Active Worlds and still
have a decent level of visibility. Also, if you have two hard drives, have
FRAPS capture to your secondary hard drive so that your first won't gag
under the weight of capturing video and running your computer at the same
time. This also improves performance.

Have you used it to capture (not encode) video from Active Worlds or from
your desktop screen? I don't think it has that capability.

That too, would help I bet. But I was more concerned about your hard drive
heads and how they have to go back and forth to read and write data than
that IDE bus speed.

Universal Chat Channel for Active Worlds?

Please remember that the suggestion of a universal chat channel is not
intended as a _replacement_ for the local chat area we have, but as a
_supplement_ to it.

No it wasn't a Wiki, it was just an entry in wikipedia.

Anyways I've always been a fan of pmwiki. Anyone can edit it if they have
the password, or you can let anyone edit it and it saves backups of the page
so if someone vandals it you can just restore the previous page and ban the
ip that vandaled it.

I would say, and speaking objectively here, that if you haven't
intentionally hurt someone before, then you're perfectly right to be so
indignant.

Sounds good, though I'd rather have a moving image than just four or five
static screenshots. That would make it more of a hybrid between People's
Choice and the Oscars

I'd love to be in beta, period. After beta testing Star Wars Galaxies, how
hard can it be? ;)
