Closed beta began a week or two ago. :) I think everyone here already
collected that from all the rumors. :) I don't personally know anyone who
told me they've been testing, but I've heard Mauz was one of them somewhere.

Aren't posts like these supposed to be in the USWF message board, not the
community? After all, this is YOUR issue, not ours, or at least not one
where any of us could help you.

Well, you don't have to tell me that even once. :) First, I'm a guy,
therefore, I can't be female, or else i'd be a her. And I can apparently
type (unlike you), so I can't be a dog either. :) I can remember that you
hate me very clearly, apparently, YOU don't remember how your actions can go
against you. :) Learn from your mistakes, maybe you might hurt my feelings
for once. :)

Gosh, my post wasn't even meant to be offensive or rude. Just stating what
we all agreed on.The fact that you're so uptight and still bitter about past
experiences that you can't even take some comments and use them is
totally...stupid?

Well, at least we're on the right track with this one...

I've been having some major crashing in AW too, but if you're persistent
enough, it will stay on long enough. :) Just hop out of the world you're in
the next time you come in and try hanging out somewhere else for a while. I
kept on crashing in AWTeen, for example, so I went back to Alphaworld and
hung out for an hour or so. If your AW browser doesn't crash by then, you
can go back to the world you wanted to be in. :) *not really suggested for
use however, because you really can't just leave a problem in your AW
browser like that. It's like breaking your leg and not going to the
doctor's*

*breaths sigh of relief* Finally, one week until 3.1 for all (or most, or
maybe just a few more, Myrth wasn't quite as accurate when he said more, but
I've heard it's going to be open beta)

speaking of which, anyone seen the new AWCOM paintball world, AW at WAR? It's
open and usable apparently, I'm not sure if it's 24/7 yet though. Flagg said
the Grand Opening of it is soon too. :) It's a very unique paintball game
actually, instead of firing one shot to kill a person, you have to shoot at
someone 5 times. :) Dieing doesn't involve bouncing through worlds either.
:) not that I'm an avid paintballer but it is a world worth checking out
before or when it opens. :)

I think he's so stupid, he can't even realize his own stupidity, because
he's done this 80,000 times already. :) Stupid people have no sense of pain,
since they're too stupid to know what it is. And Agent Fox Mulder is one
that is so stupid, he's almost invincible, or will die thinking it. :)

Good, now you know how we feel. :) And you're one to talk with your capitol
crazy yelling. :)

AFM might be right though that it wasn't him. There might be two Agents that
are as incredibly stupid and annoying. Notice in the "GO FUCK A DONKEY" post
for example. It was actually coherent, he decided to go with ALL
capitolization and everything. :) But, its one thing to hack your AW
account, but how in the world do you say the exact same thing in the
newsgroup?! Unless AFM has more siblings of equal stupidity. They're prolly
smart enough to stay out of the internet though.

Whatever happens Agent, you've become prime meat for the wolves. You can
only cry "WOLF!!" so many times before people just say you get what you
deserve.

Eep has become actually more civil. (whether that's a good or bad thing is

Agent Fox mulder is not the only newbie lunatic running amuck in these

Also, I knew of some people who actually went and reported problems to
Roland through telegrams and emails also when they weren't even allowed
beta. :) Don't look at me, I was just selfish, I guess. I really needed the
pics and personal info for awnews.com and of course, you can't just leave me
to just look at the instructions blaring in front of my face through a
telegram and not eventually take it (hey, 3 hours is darn long for this
impatient lil norn). :P

Anyways, Goober IS right. :) closed betas for ANYTHING has long been more
productive than any other type of betas. If you recall from the actual
release of 3.0, there were updates and upgrades that occured that prolly
wouldn't have needed to happen IF the beta was closed. AWCOM dealt correctly
in providing us with a peek, and then shutting us out, also. :) Kinda
cunning I tihnk how they enticed us to stay in AW constantly in the next few
weeks now that we know all the cool things we can do.

In response to Goober's question, I don't know quite exactly how the
invitation for closed beta was worked out, BUT, there was a short period of
a first-come, first-serve basis for the closed beta to fill in the remaining
seats. Of course, most of us must've missed it, but it explains why some 3.1
users that could be considered less experienced are experiencing 3.1. :) Out
of all the invited beta testers I've met or know, they seem quite well
traveled in the universe, apparently well known and hardworking, but also
has close relations with AWCOM employees through the group they're in or the
worlds they own or contribution they've made. Nice variety from what i've
seen so far though.

I wish we could see the beta testing list. :) Not so I can rip all the beta
testers apart or anything, but just for kicks, and maybe more informative
answers to these 3.1 questions. :)

All the talk about who should've or shouldn't have been on this closed beta
list has got me thinking. :) Let's say YOU were Roland. Don't shiver or
laugh like that, it's figurative. And let's say you had UP
TO...umm....probably 20 people that you can invite to beta test. Who would
be on that list and why? Just a curious thought, it might make for a good
awnews.com article. :) *subtle but just as shameless plug, Goober King's
monthly article is published now at awnews.com*

PS. I'll choose to disregard anyone's post who would to pick ME as a beta
tester (rotfl at the thought).

Jan 17, 2001, 9:46am

Btw, you can choose whoever is IN beta at the current moment also. :) Not
just people who were "jipped". Btw, don't post in the subject either or in a
text file like Agent Fox did, which was strange. it felt like I was in a BBS
system for a second. :)

That's a stupid reason, no surprise.

Have you looked around lately?? WE'RE NOT AWGATE!!!! Talk regularly or else
be flamed, easy at that. You little peapod, if you're striving for
attention, try it in the real world where others can be annoyed, AW is not,
or never will be subjected down to this baby level. If hate screaming, and
you hate talking without capitals, here's a thought, why don't you try
writing in REGULAR grammar. YOu know, the one you learn in English class?
That includes punctuations too, in case you forgot.

Oh, I definately think we need both an Eep around and a AFM around on
occasions. :) It keeps our wittiness up, you know? :P A group will collapse
if it never deals with annoying people, ie AFM. As a group, we need to learn
from our mistakes, and then kick every annoying person out of this ng until
he goes crying to his mommy. :)

As for the intellectual types, hey, if I had the knowledge of Eep, I'd post
whatever the heck I'd really wanted to say too. :) Fine, they make you mad,
but for YOU to post useless angry posts like they do just stoops you to
their level. I was quite annoyed by your threats, really myself. Nothing
against you, but it just doesn't seem like your level. :)

Well, your problem does not just only lie in capitolization, it lies in
EVERY COMMON SENSE RULE FOR POSTING IN A NG!!

1. You don't post the SAME THING you just typed in another thread in your
own thread!! We READ it, a lot of us just choose not to repond to your
stupidity.

2. Don't crosspost!!! Post in one newsgroup, for god sakes, maybe the one
that makes sense for the post to be in!! We all read most of the newsgroup,
so there's no need. NONE!!

3. Capitolization isn't your only problem, let's see here, grammar wise,
your comprehension, sentence structure, and punctuation could ALL use major
help. Quick, someone bring over a teacher!

4. Your realization that we're in a newsgroup, not a 3d chat, not a bbs, but
a NEWSGROUP with certain rules, senses, theories, and personalities that YOU
need to learn before ever trying to post here ever again.

You REPORTED abuse on this kid?? Well, maybe he MIGHT deserve it, but we
were breaking ground and creating a comprehensable dialog. :) Seriously.
That's pretty mean, I think. He doesn't know much better or much at all, but
we could've kicked him out ourselves instead of complaining and running to
the big boys. He doesn't realize yet where he is, and if you DO look around
to other groups, some are run by kids like AFM. AFM just doesn't know that
we're different than most groups in that we're an ADULT and MATURE,
INFORMATIVE newsgroup, rather than a chatter box or gossip gathering. (AFM,
take note of the last three capitolized words and let it sink in).

For god sakes, it's only been a matter of a few days too. Personally, that
was too much andras. :) Just yell at the kid, until he cries if he has to.
No need to take his email and internet service away.

post to just ONE newsgroup
use correct grammar
uncapitolize words that shouldn't be!
punctuate
have a decent sig (sorry, I just hate it, it makes no sense, sig wise)
post anything that's relevent and useful and informative

I have that problem too sometimes, no biggie. But for a second there, I
thought you were one of these annoying and incompetant newsgroup newbies
that we've been getting. For actual use of grammar, punctuation, and
capitalization (long story), I might be able to help you. :)

If you KNOW that you're not a hacker, than what do you have to be worried
about? Don't get so defensive, all you have to say is, "believe what you
want, but I'm not a hacker." :) Granted, an even funner way to get rid of
those annoying accusers is to say "I AM a hacker, and I just planted a virus
in your system that will cause you to crash in 5 seconds. Have a nice life!"
hehe, a personal favorite, but remember that you don't actually PLANT a
virus, btw. :)

It only happens on a few occasions, but sometimes the Send/Recieve screen
doesn't show the post being sent (meaning the loading bar is empty), but in
reality, it has been sent already. :) You can see that if it never tells you
that it got through how many times you could potentially send it. :) It's a
bug, what can you do. :)

you aren't posting the same thing twice, you're posting to EVERYTHING once.
And when I mean EVERYTHING, I mean everything from the a WEEK or two ago.
We're over that, get on the train already. You have to be aware that there
ARE people on Outlook that sees 10 new posts that aren't even new and ALL of
them are by you and outdated. The newbies must be in a headwhirl trying to
figure this one out.

Ack, don't even TRY those big namers, as they're just there PURELY for the
profit. (be honest though, EVERY webspace provider, free or not, is trying
to make money).
I use this EXTREMELY wonderful free hosting service called Spaceports,
http://www.spaceports.com. I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but
for actually building a website and then storing some pictures for AW, this
is perfect. :) Website wise, you can sign up for a cgi account, you get
unlimited space (but you have to request it at a 20mb per request), and you
can place their banners wherever you want on the site (within the top fold,
however) and you get paied 10 cents per click that your banners generate. I
love spaceports, and haven't had to jump from hosting service to hosting
service since. :)

You probably want a hosting service that will provide only storage though,
in which case, Spaceports prolly couldn't help unless you disguise it.

I always found banners appealing and one of the better ways to make money.
Although, the problem with banners on free webspace providers are that the
banner positions can be fixed whereas with Spaceports, you can place them
pretty much anywhere within reason. :)
