[View Quote] I joined and left. Then a couple years ago I saw a TV commercial for
FANDOM. Then after FANDOM sunk, I came to AW. I guess advertisements
do something.

[View Quote] Yeah, I think I remember you. ;)

Oh yeah, by the way, I know Raven's PPW... it's so obvious now and I
could've had so much fun taunting LightBird with ED and such. ;) I
think I got onto Emperor Fandom's PPW once or twice by accident.

[View Quote] That's right, I remember that now. That was Raven's stupidest mistake
ever; Giving her eject in all 4 worlds. If people thought the GK's were
corrupt.. oh boy.

[View Quote] Get over it, people act the way the act. Want to know the things that
scare tourists away? Well, that'd be the great, oh mighty, GateKeepers
of AWGate. They're so awesome and cool and never eject anyone they
don't think deserves it. Oh, and troublemakers too, yeah, those are the
only people they _ever_ eject.

As for citizens, could it possible be the awesomely great decision to
raise the prices to get more money? Anyone who's taken _any_ economic
class knows that to get more money you have to increase your userbase.
And to increase your userbase you have to, *gasp*, lower the prices.
Then, after the userbase is sufficiently larger, increase it back to
$20... or maybe a $10 increase to $30. The first dumb move was to think
this was a game and equal to a MMORPG, the second was to think it was
still equal to half that.

Excuse moi if I think that was bullshit, but I'm having a bad day.
Yeah, it's certainly Mike Zimmer who's making everyone leave. Maybe
it's me, though, since I'm worse than everyone in this thread combined
according to some _EXTREMELY RELIABLE_ sources. Bite me. Wait, that's
ByteMe.

[View Quote] You're complaining you don't get enough recognition for your work. Why
do you need it? If you were really trying to help out, richard, that's
all that should matter. Not what we say, not what we do, not what we think.

As for things like what Grimble did earlier, it wasn't really uncalled
for. As you just said "it's for losers" in response to the OCX. You're
just antagonizing it further and further the more you complain. Ironic.

[View Quote] Well, let us take a breather. First, you complained/"argued" about them
nit-picking others. Then you continue to progress with the struggled.
Which, undoutedly, you're still progressing with... even though you said
you stopped.

I thought I was a cock in the barnyard? Now I'm in a bar? Which
analogy are we sticking with. Or are your analogies ubiquitious now
that you have your awesome thesaurus?

Vapid, mmm, nothing like trying to out-word your targets, eh Shred?

[View Quote] OK, add functionality to allow us to change any part of our INI with
your AWStart application... we should be well within the limits if your
program is also legal.

Seeing as how DeadAIM and MSN+ are allowed, and you know how much
legalwhores Microsoft and AOL are, why would editing an INI be so bad?
AW would likely have no case if they brought everyone that's done it
(they can't just bring Drac, they have to bring everyone.)

everyone has done once. A lot of done uniserver surfing, and I'm sure,
almost everyone has changed their ini once.

[View Quote] Isn't it as simple as requiring people to pay money for citizenships and
disallow universal tourist access? So, if it were private, they could
have some sort of form on their website that does that automatically
(registers citizenships via website), or, do it themselves with
universal CT.

[View Quote] Wait a second, I simply said it wasn't a threat perse... how is that
being an argumentative twit? Because I disagreed that he was
threatening him or that he was giving him a choice and informing him of
what was wrong.

Sort of like "admit to use your friend stole all that money and you'll
just be an accomplice." Is it wrong to threaten someone who's violating
rules, regulations? You most certainly don't think so.

[View Quote] USENET (n)etiquette. Standard practice for all denizens of USENET...
well most of them. It's actually easier to follow the thread to bottom
post (and is generally frowned upon to top post - most often to not
you'll get flamed for it). Not to mention a lot of bottom posters break
a post up -- and reply inline -- to make it easier for others just
entering the thread.

--Bowen--

BTW here's a cute joke that tells you how people feel about top-posting
(with credits to "Gordon" on apihna):

A: Top posting!
Q: What is the most irritating thing on Usenet?

[View Quote] Yeah, and? America isn't England, yet it's national language is
English. (Spare me the dialect differences in the facade of "American
isn't English" -- British English is a completely different dialect with
it's own slang in comparison to American English. The same is true for
Australian English, Indian English, Canadian English, etc... I digress
though)

Newsgroup netiquette is shared with USENET and private newsgroups no
matter where you go. Just like you don't post binary in text only
newsgroups... you know. Traditions are traditions.

Just because Outlook puts it at the top doesn't mean it's true or
acceptable. Netscape and Mozilla compatible newsreaders put it at the
bottom anyways.
