I remember back in 1987 when BBS Servers if you want to call them a
server were the hotest way to obtain your files & caht and messages &
even MAIL... No one really cared that you only had a 500 MEG hard
drive... And sometimes you had 1.2 GIGS of drive space.... Geesh....
You must have paid $5000 for such a fine system running on 16 megs of
ram back then... WOW!!!!... Heck... I rad a bbs back then on all
212 megs of a hard drive... Actually i ran 2 of them... TINY BBS [the
first one] ran STKeep Bbs software. [That meanst ST - Keep as in
Atari-ST conputers] and that was on a real power house computer of it's
day... Mega STe running TOSS 1.6 [Atsri-ST OS is TOSS v#.#]
and it had all of 2.5 megs of RAM and a 80 meg hard drive and running
24/7 and had bbs door games & i had TONS of Atari ST software &
messages And MAIL. Later when i went HIGH-TECH... It was on a 386 DX 33
mhz and 16 megs of ram and 212 megs of hard drive... WOW!!!. still
kept the name of TINY BBS but now riunning Jet10BBS - Jet50BBS software
and doors, messages & MAIL & this time.... FIDONET messages & MAIL...
WOW!!!!! again it was a 24/7 bbs... BUT this time... I did one small
inprovement... While the board was NOT being used [Board is a term
for BBS] and using the SYSOP DROP TO DOS [That means like in many
ms-dos programs you get a ms-dos prompt] But then i would use the "F"
keys for my old TELIX program and call out. But then i got smart and
installed a BBS Line... So the bbs was on one 24/7 line & the house was
on another line... BUT no one bothered to ask what type of server you
had... That was left for the hot shot companies...
I was just concerned with nmaking my bbs calls & running a 24/7 bbs on
my computer. Had 2 modem hookups... [BOTH EXTERNAL OF COURSE]
One 56k for 24/7 bbs & the other for my home use.
One on Com port #1 the other on com port #2 and the MOUSE was com port
#3 Ahhhh.... Good days.....
My ancient history days of calling bbs's all over the place.
I would have to say that 99% of these don't work anymore...
But i haven't bothered to try to see if any of them work...
As i can TELNET into bbs's all over the world now...
AND yes folks... Many of them are STILL on CRAPY old computers
but we don't care... As long as it WORKS... Server or not...
It WORKS.... and we are happy.

Area Code 1 - 315 - ### - ####
Calling inside that area is was just

it was just plain old

so that would look to you as

You will notice by some of these old
BBS phone numbers... I called all
over the USA and had a really large
phone bill and that was calling
after 11 pm EASTERN my time
Needless to say... DON'T CALL MY OLD
HOME PHONE... I DON'T LIVE THERE
ANYMORE... And i don't know who has it now.

and into Texas, and Georgia
and ST Report is located in the STATE

and PA...
And to think... These were bbs SERVERS back then too...
and now days people complain when you try to run a server for
FRIENDS and you do so on your own personel computer and at your OWN
expense and Equipment...
Geesh... Must be you missed the good old days of bbsing...
Those were the OLD CRAPY COMPUTER's back then...
But it sure was fun

That is true.. You should have MORE than one computer for the server.
BUT how many people have the $$$ for a spare computer just doing
servers? And i'm not all that rich. Maybe someday... but not right
now... So the one home computer has to make do for both a game machine
& a server. BUT that is where someone needs to realize that and do
things NOT to jepordise the running servers all that much.

But i love my 3D Pinball games, My QBASIC Games, My old bbs DOOR games
[all running WITHOUT a bbs BUT with all the key files to make them work
correct... = All Ms-Dos BATch file menues & all BATch files control the
door drop files correct], And all of my running BOTS [I LOVE those
things too], and all of my other universes i'm a citizen of, And my
Radio Broadcasting, MP3's, And TESTING [beta testing] various companies
software... Can i help it if i crash once every so often? Of course
i can't. but it does occur....

This WATCH ME.... I'm NOT going to go off here...
Why do you hear another Broadway vs NewYork here...
Simple...
WRVN = Broadway's Radio...

As Just In himself has said that he dosen't know people all that
well... He can't possibly understand what people want. He much rather
stay to building and that is it. BUT if someday he was to take the
time to understand people... THEN he would insist that everything be
done correct. As it is... It's not being done correct. Danny 2K
found that out. Many others have too. But that isn't the people's
fault. It's the fault of some world owner/s that do not take the time
to find out & get to understand the people's needs are & set about to
fullfil them in a professional manor. Danny 2K has that. But some
people don't and they rely on what the world OWNER has. If that world
owner dosn't have that either... Then someone gets the impression that
it's a FREE-FOR-ALL anything goes it attitude and in some cases that is
acceptable while in some other cases it's not. At the CY Awards Ball
it was not acceptable.

You would think & hope so... But all i would need is BOT rights in a
world and drop in a xylgot bot and get the world rights list & see from
that the cit numbers that have rights to do anything in a world. I can
see with Beta World that cit# 1 has alot of rights there... And who is
cit # 1? Well.... I don't have caretaker there... BUT i do have BOT
rights as does everyone. [There is a STAR * on the line for BOTS] and
you could always say.... that is fine... But whos number is 222222
belong to... I simply use my CHATBOT for that lookup to see who it
belongs to.

I must be nuts... I'm FAT, I'm GAY, I'm DISSABLED, I'm A GUY...
But I also love the GOReans as well.
But I see the GOReans as i see an RPG game.
RPG = Role Playing Game.

And you mention enslaving women...
OK... If you check back in your AMERICAN history...
Women WHITE OR BLACK couldn't VOTE until what year? Couldn't do a
MAN'S job until when? Didn't get close to a man's wages [still don't in
many cases] until when? So until all these AMERICAN women gained all of
their WOMEN RIGHTS IN GOOD OLD USA... Basically we Americans enslaved
the women to being SEX partners for the sole reason to have kids &
taking care of the kids. THE MAN would be the bread winner.

BUT you are talking about GOReans here... And to me... It's not
different that an re-enactment of American good old days. RPG = Role
Playing Games... BUT this time many of the GOReans will allow for both
parties to AGREE to enter into this arrangment. Something that was not
available way back in American dark past... So to me that makes the
GOReans much more civilized than most other peoples out there... YES...
Some GOReans do the extreme part of GORean beliefs... I don't even go
for that. But the others i do. And i have someone that knows i do...

I am one of those that log almost everything. INCLUDING most of all my
bots. BUT I'm one of those that keep my VIRUS software up to par when
it tells me it's needed. AND i'm allways running that virus software
twice per week throughout all my 5 hard drives. YES even if i have to
shut running worlds to do it... It's better than anything that could
come along to harm me. With me.... It's going to be alot more than 10
megs of chat. As i have this bot playing music... They can read all
the music files [JFK2 DJ] Everybody_Wants_To_Rule_The_World.mid like
that... Hey... That is fine by me... and every so often they can read
the bot music changer commands and the bots reply... On Beta World &
AW & RPG world... and most other places i have my builds located. I
don't mind if someone wants to read all 200 midis names in this bot i
have running....

I know what would be cool if someone ever got to look at it besides
me... If a worm ever grabbed any of these two files and sent them to
someone in AW... It would be more funny than anything serious.
an extreme early propdump file for the world RPG [My best friend
eventually found out i was bot copying his world and that is how i got
to host it... BUT at first for about 1 month... I was bot copying his
world.

AND the recent 9 meg propdump file for Beta world... Got that from my
BOT about 2 days before AW went down the last time [The day before the
CY Awards] those would make wonderful reading to someone courious about
worlds lol

Let me see if i get this right...
If this world name dosen't bother me... It sould be allowed to say as
it's my Freedom to have it. FukUALL world, FukAWCOM world, ShitOnAW
world, CrapOnAW world... Names like that. Although the names don't
bother me... OK.... I'll be a Sport Here...
Look.... JFK2Sux world, SuxJFK2 world... etc...
Ok.... I still don't mind that. To me... It's the same as someone
making a opinion about me and although i may not like what they say
about me... They have the right to say it. But i'm not the one that
will STOOP to that level of creating a name for some world i ever own
either. People that have enough brains and common decency don't stoop
to such idiotic stupidity behavior to state an opinion about someone or
something.

Well... Until the last time AW went poof for several hours... My home
was on Beta world at my INFO Center. 10 ABN type tv's, 3 ABN style tv's
broadcasting what Chucks Party Broadcasts to Elysium World, 4 Weather
maps from friends AND my New York State Doppler Radar [If the weather
kills me off i then kill off 2 hosted worlds], And the place of my name
logo. [BUT since Beta world hasn't come back to life from the last AW
OOPS... I get sent to AWGate. I'm thinking of changing that to 300
meters below ground on RPG world = My backup info center to the Beta
World.

Yes there is... 3 of the ABN tv's operate off of 3 different ABN urls i
managed to get my hands onand thus are showing different things to
different places. 2 of more ABN tv's are for 2 different universes.
Vectorscape & Dreamland Park Universe and thus broadcast something
different for those universes. 3 TV's are what Chucks Party uses in his
360 3d Dome [3 different tv streams each loaded with about 10 different
pictures each] AND a few from Adama's tv ads services as well and that
shows a few ads athat are not found on all the other tv's

AND i have 1 Doppler radar tv from New York State [Syracuse Channel 9
WIXT] to see if the storms are bad enough to shut me. I go off and so
do 2 worlds. 1 TV Weather doppler for the Melbourne Australia area
because i have a few friends in Dreamland Park Universe that live there
and i like to see what they have for their weather [Yes... I know...
There is at least someone in AW that lives there too...] but it was
DWEEP that let me have the weather link for that area, 1 TV Weather for
PERTH Australia area as RYAN [n a y R] is from there and i like to see
what his doppler weather is as well.

So not all of the tv's are showing ads for AW or other Universes...
Some of them show 3d graphics [Chucks Party Broadcasting]
Some show tv Weather Doppler Radar for satates and countries.

shut me down soon... I'll inform anyone on the worlds i host that i
may be going off line soon do to very inclement weather in my area. OR
if i want to log into Dreamland Park Universe after being on AW for
awhile... I look at the Melbourne Australia weather map and if i see
it's really nasty there i can bet that my friend Dweeb in Melbourne
Australia won't be on-line for awhile... So i won't even go into
Dreamland Park Universe.... If i see the same really nasty weather in
Perth Australia i know that Ryan [n a y R] is most likely to be
off-line too.... and looking at the tv's for the weather in these
areas sure beats the real tv's umpteen commercials...

FALSE... There are some links to ABN that has the tv.jpg set to
broadcast to Veactoscape and Dreamland Park Universe. I eventually
found these links and use them in my info center to see what ads they
may still be getting there.

I have been going there [I have a cit there - JFK2] but i was very
lucky... I got my cit on the Free Cit program back in 12/2000 and
didn't have to pay anything for it. So i'm not loosing all that much by
them going out of service. But i heard from one of those with PS that
Lord Vector wants to change things to another server and reopen it
after all the old cits are purged... BUT that seems a little far out
as aw can do that in about 1 weeks time [they did that the last time AW
had their major computer upset 12/2000 and changed to their backup
computers. BUT Vectorscape has been down far longer than 1 month....
So i really have no idea what will happen to them. BUT i usually
prefer Outerworlds Universe [Have 2 super friends there & i'm a CIT
there too BUT i have a total unique different name there lol ] and i
have many super friends at dreamland Park Universe [cit there too] and
i have a few friends on City4All Universe [YUP... Cit there too].

AWGate is ok... But it's too much traffic there and most of them are
the newbies with really dumb questions. Q - How to launch windows?
things like that. BUT the GZ at AWSchool or someoother world... by that
time people have found out how to act alot smarter than at AWGate and i
can deal with that bunch alot better. Those are the more enjoyable
crowd too.

Then don't give Chucks Party a gun... He is trigger Happy and he loves
to SHOOT people. that is why i have been calling Chucks Party "Blaster
Boy Chuck" = Blast now & ask questions later. If you have ever wondered
why there is not many TOURISTS on Elysium World = His [Rainbow] bot
shoots out all the tourists.

Me on the other hand... I only shoot if they don't want to listen to
reason. AND i give plenty of that before i shoot.

But yes... the tourists are really dumb at AWGate, The GK's are
obnoxiuos to say the least. and so i don't hang around at AWGate all
that long. I only go there if i really must [AW goes dead, OR my home
world i land in goes dead or to obtain info not found anyplace else & I
try the anyplace else first]

I nearly forgot... I changed my default landing place again...
Found this really nice place to land in....
SW Comit & Syntax's place where you can go AFK...
And it's a wonderful place to make your appearance too...

aw 2336s 3842e = My place to appear in AW and by far the best place
i've found yet lol

Aug 29, 2001, 3:34pm

Neither do i shoot tourists in RPG world... [I host it for a friend of
mind & i'm the CARETAKER there]. and that is a tiny 10 km nswe world
with 5 max people limit...

I've only had to shoot out people with CIT's a few times though....
AND one was a caretaker like me for deleting the world once
tooooooooooo many times.
The only thing they lost though was CARETAKER rights, ED, and The
GUN.... But they could do anything else. lol


BUT soon i'm contemplating on shooting this crazy cit who loves to
IRRITATE ME no end.... NO is NOT in her vocabulary it seems... So
maybe SHOOT OUT is lol. andon RPG i can SHOOT HER OUT. lol

The value of FAMILY is why i love other universes. It makes the value
of a CIT all that much more rewarding. You get to know the OWNERS of a
universe faster and they can do things that the PK's can't... True...
There are no PK's in Outerworlds, Dreamland Park Universe, City4All
Universe, Cybernet Worlds Universe, Galaxy Worlds Universe... But it's
like living in a small town FAMILY Values and that is what makes those
places enjoyable. And there is far less pressure to keep up with the
Mr. Jones who has another world. Also if you buy a world in any of the
smaller places... Since there is no NewYork world yet... You could
have a bot copy of Broadway world and no one to complain... Every world
you buy is unique... There is no duplicates YET. But maybe someday
there will be.... But for right now... small town Famaily Values is
the ticket to a valused cit...

Building Contests... And many of them have as a PRIZE = One Free Cit.

I think that $5.00 name change thing is to cut down on the names people
will use. I have several friends that use umpteen different names.
Wile i've only used one or two different names at any one time most
people change their names everytime they sneeze too hard. lol

To me that name change thing should be dropped... BUT you know how

their fingers more & more into your wallet for the least little thing.

Thank-You Flagg for making things alot clearer. that shold help on the
posts in here. When i mentioned Outerworlds giving free cits for
contests... Those free cits are for OUTERWORLDS ONLY. Just like
Dreamland Park Universe's free cits. For their universe only. If you
want a free cit for AW you have to obtain it through AW's games, and
world being bought. NOT through some other universe.
