Strike, it's easy. Cafepress handles the store side, and it's possible
to put "activate url" with links to the order page for specific
products.

NCC, most people do get "ignored" in big worlds like AWTeen... it's
nothing personal or anything.

I think AWTeen should get a name change - since it's not just for
Teens anymore. I'm sure AWTeen regulars are used to big changes like
that... hehe

I really hate AWTeen for some reason. I don't know why :¬/

Do we have to visit ALL the sites just to vote, or do we only have to
visit all the sites in a certain category to vote in that category?

I think that was AW3000's cover story.

I saw the AW3000 site before (sooo obviously not legit, it's just a BADLY
EDITED copy of AW's website) and when I emailed the address... well... it
kinda speaks for itself...

"Hello-
No this is not a cracked universe this is a 3.2 universe, We have a
lote of staff members of microsoft.inc here, If you would like to become
a
citizen it is 5.95/year We are supported by Activeworlds and we support
active worlds too. Thankyou for making sure though. If you do find a
cracked universe please contact us straight away! or Active Worlds.

Thankyou
AW3000-Staff"



I think AW3000 has actually been shut down a few times but restarted... I
don't know.

Having members of Microsoft there is meant to make me TRUST them??

Wow... that's quite harsh for someone whose name was guessed wrongly. I
don't expect to see many over 20s cussing people out on the AW newsgroups -
well not over something like this anyway.

AW is the world that encouraged me to register. It let me see the REAL
AW, not a happy smiley face put up by the gate. AW had the power to show
to me the variety of stuff you could do. AWGate just doesn't. AWGate
makes Active Worlds seem more like a thing with set rules and boundaries,
where you have to do things a certain way.

It's not like that though. AWGate doesn't capture the whole essence of
AW. The historical buildings around AW's GZ show that AW doesn't have to
be perfect! ^_^ AWGate is too... AWGate.

Yes that welcome message will definately make a lot of parents PARANOID.
It's not as bad as all that.

AWI waste their time on this when there are so many other little things
they could do to help the community.

I can't remember them right now, but they're there... somewhere...

No that's what I meant... that it will make parents paranoid if their

You just admitted there that you were personalising this issue. I don't
really think it's appropriate to do that in this case.

Don't take this the wrong way but A!!CT seems to make a lot of enemies.
Perhaps you should consider the possibility that you are doing something
to provoke the troublemakers
..

Actually I think "Persuasion of Children" means adults persuading
children to cause trouble (so your post was never really a different
subject).

If the kids want to meet the approval of a troublemaking citizen who can
give them no real reward then they obviously want to cause trouble in the
first place. That just provided them with an oppertunity.

Don't know how you got ejected from NewAW, but you got ejected from
AWTeen because M a t t kept using bots under your PPW. I don't know why
they ejected you for this long though... oh wait, it was probably a
manually added ejection, so it'll continue until you get them to delete
it.

Exactly. Plus it was very easy to see this was a trojan... this was no AW

Asking someone to change who they are isn't the answer. Just ignoring it if
