Only if you list posts in reverse order by date. I think it's more common for
Newsgroup posts to be newest to oldest while e-mails are oldest to newest.

A webpage with some server backend that sends information to a bot to change world
rights.

Yeah, it is. It's just a semi-workable solution to have people sign in and sign out
when they're not using it. Maybe just an in world bot to do it instead? (but that
would mean everyone has to have enter)

So tourists can see which worlds they can and cannot enter.

It could still be done relatively easy with a global caretaker bot. Assuming you
want to give everyone build. If it's really wanted I could make a bot that does it?
Shouldn't take too long.

Could be done with a bot and the new 3.4 browser.

That's why they're tourists, they don't get the crud we do. If they really want to
protect there stuff, they should become a citizen.

Only a caretaker bot can do it. If you set up a bot that checks if a user is allowed
to send a console message, then I'm sure you could be fine with a bot managing a
console message system.

Who said anything about functions. If you move further with one value than you do
another say 0 2 3 it's going to create an elipse. Why do you need parabolic
movement? Are you in need of something groovishly infinately that a circle can't do
itself? Besides, once it moves out of your range there's not much point (just create
one big ass circle).

Reasonably you could quadruple that I believe (which should be enough).

What the hell are you talking about? Without logging in there is no way to check
which universe you're from. You can check citnumbers and such without calling
yourself into a world or announing your position.

It sounds to me he wants it as a feature of the SDK? Unless I didn't catch something

So... you want it to get bigger as you get closer and smaller as you move further
away? Coronas don't change size at all.

in real life:
Coronas don't change size as you move closer or farther away from them. It only
appears they are since your perception of other objects changing size with distance
is still there. They do fade after a certain distance (or get so blurry you just
can't resolve them). Squint while looking at car headlights in the dark... that's
basically a corona.

So you want the ability to create objects on the fly? Why not just make the object
with RWX? It's not that much different. That is, if you have access to the OP.
