AWI should accept a volunteer from the community to replace MM :¬O

Not paid work, but a volunteer. There's no reason not to do that, IMO.

Skipping past these replies to encompass them all...

All arguments have been about how you can avoid the problem. Yeah, that
takes effort though.

Firefox also includes a popup blocker.

It IS possible to make IE more secure by changing the settings or using
3rd party programs. However, when an insecurity is brought about by an
actual SECURITY *HOLE* caused by a BUG, sometimes nothing will be able
to help you.

Firefox's security holes are being patched at a faster rate than IE's
are. The ones that are discovered are less serious than the ones in IE.

IE is not a browser. It is not compliant to Internet standards. It's a
marketing strategy. It's extremely basic in terms of features.

And the big deal with RadioactiveX? To be honest I can't see it.
Practically no sites use it. When a plugin is needed by something, both
normal Mozilla and Firefox alert you and provide a facility to search
for an installer for their browser. No need for automatic RadioactiveX
installations. Interactive features? I have to be honest with you. I
have never come accross a site that uses RadioactiveX for these. It's
always either Java or Shockwave.

IMHO it should be a disambiguation page

There should be an article about the software and a separate article
about the universe. Right now they're kinda mushed together in the
article: they're separate things.

I would suggest that one article be called Active Worlds Browser.

1. I am very insulted that you're generalising teenagers in this way.

2. Based on some of the replies to this post, this seems to be more
about someone unwilling to accept constructive criticism rather than
misconduct of teens.

Why highlight the fact that they are teenagers at all, if you don't
generalise about age?

Haha the replies to this post are so predictable.

"OMGZ WINDOWZE IS ACTGUALY STABEL IF U USE IT PROPARLEY IDIOET >:|"

The fact is there's no excuse for using a system like Windows for simple
applications like these. It causes problems that don't need to be there
and it wastes money.

Stability? It doesn't have to be portable.

Nov 18, 2004, 7:31pm

lol I didn't even mention Linux...

technically it could have as many complications as Windows, but in
reality it probably would be much more stable when being used for just
one specialised task.

BSD would probably be even more stable though.

In AWRPG, if I express my love for another male character (another
homosexual male character, even) I am accused of causing an uproar, and
poisoned. Even if the expression of that love is mere hugging and
kissing, and saying things like "darling" and "my love".

They claim it's because AWRPG's society is based on medieval times.

This is total crap.

In medieval times, women were discriminated against. So were black
people. But oh no! None of this in AWRPG! But wait? I thought we had to
do it because AWRPG is based on medieval times! No, they have actively
CHOSEN what discriminations to carry over from medieval times.
Therefore, that homosexuals were discriminated against in medieval times
is NOT a defense.

I would have NO problem if EVERY discrimination from the medieval times
was part of AWRPG. It is the fact that they have chosen to drop some
discriminations and keep others that angers me.

In truth, the religion of AWRPG's Draeda could easily accept homosexual
love as valid. But they have chosen to pick and choose what they would
like to discriminate against and use the medieval theme as a defense.

Why did they choose to drop the discrimination against women? Is it
because it doesn't fit in with current Western society? LOOK AROUND YOU.
In current Western society, homosexuals are protected from
discrimination. I guess they decided that 5% of the population isn't big
enough for an exception to medieval rules. The value must be between 5%
and 50% somewhere.

Oh, and here's a nice AWRPG quote:

[View Quote] What are you implying? That I want to cyber in AWRPG? I understand that
it's a PG world.

> Places like AWRPG are not places for homosexual displays. They're not

Homosexual doesn't neccessarily mean sexual. Ever heard of a thing
called love? Are you saying that just because the love is homosexual it
suddenly becomes explicit? I surely hope NOT.

I don't know wether or not you've noticed, but companionship (not
cybersex) is a big part of AWRPG. Two roleplaying characters fall in
love often in the world of AWRPG.

> If you feel the need to be homosexual, there are plenty of online chat

I'm not talking about online dating. I'm talking about in-character
partnership, not neccessarily a partnership between the creators and
players of the character.

Heterosexuals in AWRPG are allowed in-character partners. They hug, they
kiss, they call each other nice names. That's as far as it goes. Unless
they get married of course.

I do not see why homosexuals should not be granted the same right.
