:) I think so too, but I believe a roast deserves a PIG and that PIG roasted
themselves' for sure! [View Quote] A!!CT World will drop Heartfall Sept.16Oct 6, 2002, 2:32am
here it is s*ithead and by the way yes i typoed on the number it was meant
to be 300 check your spealling while your reading this. Here's your whole flam against me and my personal life Shane, it makes intresting reading! Hi all, I've never been big on going to the trouble of posting in the newsgroups but after reviewing the opinions of so many especially Bruce, I felt the need to express a few of my own opinions on some of the aforementioned topics. Bruce, I could have saved this for a telephone conversation but I fell since you seem to be so public about so many of the experiences you've had in AW that I would address you directly in this forum as you seem to feel it should be used as a tool for hammering on the heads of those who have tirelessly adapted to your ever changing view of what you were trying to accomplish in this world of yours. I et me start by telling the group that I've known Mr. Bruce for over a decade now personally, as we live in the same town and in the past shared a common interest in CB Radio. I remember when I first showed him the AW Plugin, and only a few months later he purchased A1CT and his world was born. He surprised me with a telegram and an invitation to this new world of his and I built an "embassy" in there almost instantly. I must admit Bruce your world grew fast and had amassed quite a following. Shortly thereafter I decided that I would like to be a part of this world and contributed $60.00 to an upgrade. I liked A!!CT because of the wonderful objects in the WCOL Path. I must have spent 300 hours building and strolling through the path looking around at all of the great objects in the path. Over time Bruce and I had several discussions about the future of this world and was willing at one point to pay the reasonable hosting bill in its entirety. Later on I contributed again to the world, around $200.00, to bring its size up too P100. Unlike the majority of the users in there I was more than willing to help out financially as I know you personally and we had discussed the limitations on your ability to finance the entire thing alone and some of the kids weren't able to help because of their own financial limitations. Now that I've got that out of the way on to the real issues at hand. I once asked what are you trying to accomplish here? Your answers never made any sense. Are you concerned with the kids, wanting to give them a place to hang out that is a safe environment? Do you want to become a respected world owner? What is it you were trying to accomplish? No Good answer still. For anything to go the way you want it too you need to have a plan. I offered up several, but lets review what you do in here most of the time and also where some of the money trouble that has arisen has come from. First, and I'm only repeating your own words here, the majority of your time according to you was spent rebuilding tourist builds, a noble task and a big job and it was almost impossible to ever complete. You also told me one of you biggest concerns was the position in the world list and how many people were in your world at any time and how to get more.You also said that you liked to upgrade the size of the world because it allowed for making smaller payments at a single time and extended the expiation of the world, which does make sense but only with the approach that you can pay the big bill next year when it comes in all at once. On the subject of money, you once told me that you paid for at least ten citizens, which in my opinion indicates that even when there are 14 people in your world at any time you are paying for most of them to be there. If you cannot afford the commitments that you make then spend the money more wisely and don't blame others for your funding mismanagement. Some of the younger people in your world are very responsible and greatly impartial, or better put, mature enough to maintain the responsibility and generous consideration you have giving them. Others are not so nice, some have been downright rotten. I also want to include in this post, prior to your rebuttal, that I deleted all of my builds in your world and receded into my own because after contributing financially and offering to assist in several other ventures to better your world, you remove my ed rights, for straightening a road with minimal of impact to older unfinished builds, allowed children to accuse me of things like turning a build around (which I see as impossible), and participate in their ranting like a child, and finally make several decisions on running the world without asking my opinion or even including me at all. It was right then that I decided to upsize my world because as I had told you prior I wasn't about to contribute if I wasn't going to be a part of the whole thing. Bruce, I like you, You are a decent guy but I think that you need to look at the facts and see them for what they are. You are running on a budget, your plan changes every other day, and If your goal is to have 20 users in your world all the time don't pay ten to be there or else you've only accomplished half of your goal. To conclude my ridiculous post I want to say a few things in defense of my Excellent World Host, Heartfall, I was included in some of the arguments that Insanity has had with you , and you had told me about a few of the others. In most cases he was right. You may disagree as some of the kids will as well, as they are young and easily influenced by others opinions. I'm not 100% sure what Insanity will think of my opinions and was in no way influenced by him in them. And once again they all come from what you have told me. One was that you constantly handed out passes to the path without referring the users to the sign up page. Including one of my builders who I told to go to the signup page and they told me not to worry as you had given them the pass. If your builders don't want to identify themselves with an email address? my question is why? Second, I recall several uncalled for comments made by you to others about insanity that probably caused him grief at some point or another. And being that kids are easily influenced, sometimes do things that are inappropriate to try to gain your admiration. Third, You often when upgrading your user limit or world size didn't bother to tell Insanity until after the fact, which also was told to me by you. If you increase the user limit you also increase the bot limit and this is extra bandwidth. which is money. If you had been more cooperative with him you may have had a better experience. I am probably one of the people you mentioned in your post that learned about Heartfall from A!!CT and I'm glad that I did. My world has never had any problems, and Insanity has done everything I asked him too in a timely and respective manner, when I upgraded my user limit I told him in advance and he was prepared, happy and helpful. He told you time and time again what he expected from you and you repeatedly distorted it and changed it. You babble on about how you were told that all of the objects that were the same I the path would load which I really think any intelligent individual who understands an OP would know better and I've never been told by him that the path will load if it changed and I have a tough time believing that he said that to you in the exact context that you repeat it constantly, or that if you did misunderstand him that he didn't clearly explain it again when asked. I know you, and how you operate, on and off of AW so maybe I'm at an advantage as to what is really going on, you speak before you think Its too bad that you would hammer someone because of your own shortcomings, and financial difficulty, but maybe all of us that tried to help you financially would have been more willing to work with you if you were willing to compromise a bit on some of your absurd positions. The only thing that Insanity said too me about your changing paths was that he was very upset for the kids who enjoyed the path and that they feel so discontented, He, being an adult of reasonable intellect is not littered with selfish undertones of playing god. And for you to insinuate that insanity is not willing to give a little to others, look at some of the charitable things he has done with his life at the Heartfall website, like his earthquake aid, he has given a lot more to better others than you ever have, Heartfall is not some big corporation that is bathing in money, he does this because he has a genuine interest in making AW better and preserving it. These kids treat you like a role model and you teach them to hold grudges and distort truth. Maybe If they knew you in the real world they would see why you put so much into AW, I'm sure you will bark at the moon now that once again the truth is on the table, too bad, but someone needs to point it out, I also will note that Insanity was courteous and wished everyone well even after you got into attacking him which is a clear indicator of who is the responsible adult. It truly is too bad for all of those who enjoyed the path and the many objects in it. Also I'm sure if a trusted source approached Insanity with a copyright free object he would be happy to add it to the path. He is a great guy as well as an excellent world host, who is more than willing to work with those who are willing to work with him. You on the other hand are miserable from the tiring trouble you repeatedly put yourself through to do all this and the part that gets me is you have no reason, purpose, or cause. It seems more like an addiction than entertainment. Maybe you need to sit back and slow down, get back to having a good time instead of being so worried about such trivial things, Its all fun, its VIRTUAL reality, not reality.So stop playing Peter Pan and Get A Grip LOL. To all those who loved the objects in the path I invite you to build in AKingdom, It has a 15 User Limit and is a P50, and it will be for a long time because I've budgeted it that way and that's what I can afford, its not a free for all for all of the troublemakers, and I'm not into working at managing it till my head explodes, but if you like to build and are tired of worrying about whether or not your stuff will be around in a year I've got some space for you to use the wonderful objects that you like, come and see it. One last note, if you do create you own OP please keep some statistics on how it measures up to WCOL. Id be interested if it will have the reliability and bandwidth I've come to expect, 99.9% ,which I see as conservative considering I've had 100% reliability with Heartfall, My connection never drops off in my world, ever, I've not even enjoyed that reliability with AW Hosted worlds. Good Luck. With both your OP and the world license renewal fees. Its too bad Bruce, you should have thought this all out more objectively. In the end AW Teen will still be there so I suppose the kids wont be totally lost. I'm sure some of the kids will respond aggressively to this post but I hope all those who read it understand that the unedited truth is a reality unlike AW. I wish you the best, and Id still back you up in a jam but I cannot agree with you on your AW related opinions when they are so single sided and jaded by your illusions. Take care all, and have a great day. King Bluemax (321028) There it is stupid you post and you forget what you said LOL Are you sure your note InSaNiTy #2? MrBruce [View Quote] A!!CT World will drop Heartfall Sept.16Oct 7, 2002, 3:33pm
This is my last post on this issue as I am sick of defending my self over
this. No.1 I had a right to post to the public that I was dropping Heartfall as hosting and path. No.2 I had a right to say why I made this decision. No.3 Heartfall is in a sense a company that provides services. That company is owned and operated by InSaNiTy. No.4 It is InSaNiTy himself who decided to charge me $175.00 over what his website quotes as $400.00 No.5 It was InSaNiTy who spoke to me about a sky box and it was InSaNiTy who sold me this sky box for $30.00 No.6 It was InSaNiTy who tried to sell me 4 Cobra attack helicopters for $50.00 (Those 4 helicopters were already available on the public av list!) I posted what I had to post and in return King BlueMax posts his good points about Heartfall, but in the process under several posts talks about me and my credibility, such as how I give out passwords blindly. He also spoke about how I did Heartfall and the people who tried to help me 'wrong'. That is the attack I am talking about. King Bluemax could have said I like Heartfall because......Instead, he attacked me and in a sense stated that because I am such a careless person I deserve to be over charged, he also spammed his world by saying "COME TO AKINGDOM AND YOU WILL SEE THE HEARTFALL YOU LOVE AND ENJOY..blah blah blah..... He not only spammed his world as being better than mine, he also advertised Heartfall produtions in the process! The snip of King Bluemax's that I copied and pasted was just the beginning of the attack, as I said in an earlier post, read the whole thread. Because of his post I get attacked by others saying they are tired of me spamming my world A!!CT, I did not spam, I merely posted an announcement to all those who have built in my world, that I would be dropping Heartfall. Those who understand paths like Heartfall's, also understand no two paths have 100% of all the same objects. Therefore the likely hood of builds owned by people other than myself will obviously be greatly affected. Which was the case here, I tried several paths using the last prop-dump InSaNiTy sent me. During a 2 day test we loaded the prop-dump, all we seen was over 100 black triangles (non-rendering objects) to every square meter! It came to the point, that I had no choice but to remove the prop-dump and start fresh. The point that upsets me is a hosting service inflates it's prices and I get attacked, does this make sense? I am the victum here.... not InSaNiTy. He played the ole price and demand crap with me, he figured if he inflatted my renewal price for my world, I would gladly pay it, so as not to lose the respect of my builders! Ok, let's say I paid it, what would it be next year...$700.00? So yes, I feel I was being taken advantage of! Legally I could report him for running a scam. He posts prices on his website and then charges what he wants, when he feels in the need of some extra cash. Like I said in an earlier post, it's like when a store advertises cucumbers 3 for a $1.00 but at the register they charge you $10.00 saying if you want it bad enough you pay the price, that to me is false advertising and is illegal! Some here may say...thats the American way, but I am here to say I am not the idiot who needs it that much! I do not know what will be said in response to this post and truthfully I am tired of explaining my self...InSaNiTy you took advantage of me and tried to do it again, you lost a customer in your attemps to make some extra cash. I know you were desperate for money because you told me you had medical bills to pay and needed to sell sky boxs, avatars and such to meet those bill payments...but you also intended to charge me more to help pay those bills, had you charged me what you post on your website, I would have gladly paid it. Instead you lost a customer and a very unhappy one at that! It was not just the lose of my hard work, it was also the lose of hundreds of citizens hard work and King Bluemax you yourself know A!!CT had builds owned by at least 200 citizens. You scanned the world many times and commented on that to me, well tahnks to InSaNiTy's price scam, those builds are lost forever and yes I lost many people's respect, because this decision has wipped out what many have worked very hard on. As a business with HEART in it's name (hence Heartfall) does InSaNiTy really show that he has a heart? Tell that to the real losers here...the aw community builders! Right now I host my own world, have my own path and I only have to answer to myself. Therefore I will NOT respond to any more posts in this thread, believe what you want..but I have a right to NOT get ripped off by a scammer! My final post on this issue MrBruce [View Quote] beta tester loginSep 14, 2002, 1:37pm
Just a quick question, I have been approved to be a beta tester i have 3.4
beta build 429. which Bill activated on Friday september 13, trouble is I can not post in the beta newsgroups as of yet. Is this because Bill forgot to activate my account in the Beta newsgroups or am I forgetting to do something here? MrBruce 2 Days left till A!!CT World closesSep 14, 2002, 8:27pm
This is a reminder that there is less than two days left till A!!CT world
closes. It will restart, but be closed to the public until several tests are conducted. We will try using the origional prop-dump to see how bad things look using a new path. If we feel the clean up is too much trouble(removing the non-rendering objects) we will reset A!!CT world and start over. The roads leaving GZ will be better aligned with 0N 0E 0S 0W as with before when they were origionally off center. It was never foreseen that A!!CT would ever be bigger than a P-10 world when GZ was origionally set up, but now that it is a P-100 it makes better sense to have things a little bit neater. MrBruce said recently "I am offically announcing that as owner of A!!CT world, I will chose the best options for all. keep in mind A!!CT is privately owned and not a public build world owned by Activeworlds. Most private world owners do not allow public building space in their worlds and no income is generated from the exsistance of A!!CT World". Besides while A!!CT was hosted by World_hosting at Heartfall.com we were NOT allowed to do anything to help raise money to keep A!!CT going, because Heartfall claimed we were using their services to make money! Yet here Heartfall uses AW's services to make money, this never made sense to me and never will! With Heartfall gone, now maybe we can do more to help generate some sort of income to keep the costs of running A!!CT in the GREEN! Keep in mind that no matter what, it does cost money to keep A!!CT world running! We will accept community donations, for a world that is provided free of charge to all-donations can be sent using Paypal-MrBruce's account name is MrBruce406969 at aol.com those who help will receive special public recognition! MrBruce's name has been used by permission in this post. Many thanks from the A!!CT building community. A!!CT WORLD HAS DROPED HEARTFALLSep 18, 2002, 5:44pm
Hello all, just wanted to say A!!CT world is open but presently we are doing
tests using the prop-dump sent to me from Heartfall. As to be expected A!!CT is a mess with triangles from the non-rendering objects lost from the loss of Heartfall's path. As I posted in my last post I expected InSaNiTy to pop up somewhere and protest my post and so he did under the name 'host'. Anyways I am not going to make this a long thread by stating anything here about the service, which I could say the object path was what made it worthwhile. But I think the renewal fee was way out of the league. I would have kept the path and cancealed hosting, but the trouble I have had with Heartfall was concerning their path. I must say I expected some sort of discount, being that the Heartfall name was made popular by my running a public world where people had the oppertunity to use the objects, not only see them as with other worlds that may be using the same path. I can think off hand of 4 customers Heartfall gained because of my references. In this business it should be one hand washing the other....one helping the other to succede. It was my wish to pormote Heartfall, however instead of any gratitude, My world was accused of attracting path hackers and the bad of AW, how can I purchase hosting from someone who talks about a person who only wants to porvide something AW, AWTeen and AWnewbie provide. Truth is Heartfall uses AW to make money, without AW Heartfall has no need for world hosting or path and yet I looked at my world as a free place to come build, chat and do things that are not allowed in AW world, like special commands and objects. Some of what host (InSaNiTy) said in his rebuttle was not true, but for the sake of band-width I will not copy and paste any evidence here. I will just say life moves on and so does A!!CT world. As for financial burdens....I am providing the community with something really cool at my exspense...I am only asking others to help out and be an active part of a growing community! A!!CT world owner MrBruce P.S. InSaNiTy be smart. before you get roasted--reframe from replying to this post...just a word of advice :) CYs OK so who won?Oct 27, 2002, 1:22pm
I do not see anything on the Cy website or anywhere for that matter
regarding who the winners were, some of us do have lives outside Aw and couldn't be at the CY ceremony to know who won, so lets have it, who won? MrBruce CYs OK so who won?Oct 28, 2002, 8:04am
Thank you Mauz for the info, congradulations to all the winners and to all
those who lost (including myself) we will always have next year, so hang in there! :) MrBruce (A!!CT World owner) [View Quote] lost?Nov 3, 2002, 1:27am
I think the whole point here was about a GOR world being accepted for a CY
award. Sadly I agree, I have visited one such Gor world and was shocked at how Women of all people like being SEX SLAVES to both men and other women! Yes I was asked my age and although I was 40 at the time I lied and said I was 36 just to be funny! What if I was really14 or 12? As owner of a "G" rated world, I have had sex slaves from one of the Gor worlds come into my world, I believe they said they were from GorVernA world, while visiting my world, they used this sick roll playing in my world and were quickly ejected, using names such as the ones they use in the Gor worlds, plus calling each other "SLAVE" and "MASTER". Kids do not need to hear this! This is what a great progarm like AW is tarnished with! Isn't there enough SEX on the web and emails available to kids without AW being a part of it? I will post this under a new thread as well. MrBruce Anti-Gor [View Quote] Bug?Nov 3, 2002, 12:18pm

Nah then we'd all have to go to AWdebate world :) I think people just need
to vent a little and discuss publicly their concerns, like we did when AW raised the prices and removed tourists It will all get worked eventually. My public apoligy goes out to anyone here who might be personally affected by anything I have posted in recent days, my intent is not to hurt anyone. Just protect. ;) MrBruce A1CTWorld at aol.com [View Quote] MrBruce drops A1CT worldNov 6, 2002, 10:06pm
This is to inform the Community that as of November 5 th 2002 A1CT world
will be allowed to expire, shortly following on December 29th A!!!!!CT world will be allowed to expire. It is not clear at this moment what will happen to A!!CT world which expires December 15th 2002, but more than likely it it will be allowed to expire. As my citizenship presently states> Immigration Officer: Warning: your citizenship expires in 29 days. To extend your citizenship, press the Renew button in the toolbar.. I doubt I will. "G" rated worlds (other than AWTEEN have no place in AW) and neither do I! you can count 7 worlds of mine out of here and all of my money as well. All cits owned and paid for by me will be closed in the coming weeks. As a paying CommunitY member, I would rather put my money in something where people listen like mature adults. MrBruce former world owner-former AW citizen. A1CTWorld at aol.com MrBruce drops A1CT worldNov 6, 2002, 11:05pm
I will quickly answer this as I have to head to work, 6 of my 7 worlds were
used as public "G" rated tourist enabled public build worlds. The 7th was used by Xes as a public build world until he decided to showcase his own creations there. That is why I posted here. I know no one cares about a closed building world expiring, but most of my worlds all above P-20 size were public building worlds. Temper tantrums? No not at all, I just learned what means the most here in the last year I was a world owner here. I care not to go into it, but I do no this, I have been the most criticsized person in AW since my first month of world owning. A!!CT is the most hated world and I listen to criticism everyday from the community for running a "G" rated public build world. My worlds generated money for AW too, what you all think AW donated this stuff to me? Well think what you want...someoen gets a taste of what I have been putting up with for a year and they get their way, trouble is my world never did anything to hurt anyone, we actually made citizens out of a minimum of 150 tourists if not more, we actually went out of our way to convince people to register. All I ever got was flames and critism! We never corrupted the minds of anyone, we never discriminated against any race or culture (within reason) we never banned adults or childern who acted civilized. We never allowed content above the "G" rating of our world. We have a bot called Zbot which is in global mode and ejects automatically when certain vulgor or abusive worlds are used. We try to have public events allowing all citizens to particpate in, we get critisized that we are spaming our world. But it's ok for anyone else to post their private worlds' events here! Its OK for the community to post ANTI-A!!CT world or ANTI-MrBruce posts which are personal attacks on ME! But its not OK for me to be a concerned AW citizen about issues that affect us as a community! You all fail to forget I pay AW's bills here to! So be it, you want me out of here..My money goes to. I can spend my money on a new computer or something. My 7 worlds plus 17 of my $6.95 cits are out of here! Wasted enough of my time on this. Its AW's loss not mine! MrBruce former AW citizen.

drop in and and read these posts. Your points are taken into consideration and I want to thank those who posted positive things, I also want to thank JerMe for hosting my world A!!CT and donating he's server to us. I hope he does not mind me mentioning that. All I can say is I will think things thru, thats all I can say. I am not here looking for pity, I just want the AW universe to get orgainized and civilized! MrBruce A1CTWorld at aol.com I'm out of this war zoneNov 9, 2002, 6:30am
As I was asked by many to at lest come here and view what responses my post
has generated concerning my getting out of AW. I decided to read what was left of the newsgroups that enzo has not deleted. I understand your disstress more than you realize. But the problem here is this, the community has spoken, they said what they wanted (or at least I tired) concerning the CY awards. Nothing we say is good enough. I tried to be unbiased here and listen to the community and weigh the pros and cons. I tooked carefully at the wording of the posts to see who was for one thing or another. I carefully tore each post apart here and restructured it as many ways I could. The results are 98% want the CY completely "G" rated. 2% want it "G" thru "X". Here is your answer and its easy to see, if people stopped looking at their contact lists so much, they'd see what is going on in the universe. Try using the worlds list once in a while and set it to USERS so the worlds display top to bottom according to how many are in each world. Now as you look at this list scroll down it to look for worlds that are well know "ADULT R or X" rated worlds. I see 12 worlds. I also see at the time of this post 1152 worlds running in the AW universe if my math serves me well here 1152-12=1140. You are trying to tell me that 12 worlds have the right to change the whole universe? Whats going to end up haapening here, before all is said and done anyone entering AW as a new-comer is going to need mommy/daddy's approval to enter AW, to verify Mommy/Daddy's age a credit card is going to have to be used....here we go again back to Febuary 2002 where a credit card is needed to enter AW. How many people do youthink like using their credit cards on the internet just to satisfy a KID? THINK>>>>THINK>>>THINK! even just for age verification and to help their child keep from seeing adult materials, there are very few that will risk their credit card numbers being stolen to please a kid! This is deemed an adult website now technozeus, it contains adult materials. I did not know catering to ones sexual pleasures was so important here. But I guess it is. If AW took a vote and every citizen in AW voted (and this is the best way) I believe you will find the majority of the people here can live without sex in Activeworlds. But still we will cater to a few 12 worlds out of 1152! Sad...sad...and pitiful! MrBruce A!!CT world= CommuniTy hence CT get it yet? A!!CT-A!!-CT=CommuniTy A!!CY might be mistaken for the CYs so it's CT. Figured I'd answer that long asked question. :P A1CTWorld at aol.com [View Quote] I'm out of this war zoneNov 9, 2002, 6:43am

Hopefully it will still work, it reqires the cit name and cit PPW to work.
If Caitif's cit number is not the one he/she built with, then chances are his/her builds say <not a citizen> when right clicked. So I am not sure if the database would find the builds he's/she's looking for. As of yet I have not found anyone who has found their builds using a newer and different cit. Finally is it in AW world? He/she never stated what world they were in. Good luck! MrBruce [View Quote] Many Thanks To FenixNov 16, 2002, 8:18am
I just want to extend my Gratitude to 3 outstanding citizens in AW, their
names are JerMe for Hosting A!!CT world and A!!CT2 world at no cost to me. To FeNiX for paying the whole renew fee of $1,309.95 with tourist access for A!!CT World, which will be here for another year! To NCC 71854 for putting together a unique object path for A!!CT, which I intend to continue help to add objects to. Also to all the others who have helped to keep A!!CT world up and running. It is my intent to upgrade A!!CT world within the next few weeks, beyond its present P-100 status (2000X2000). It is the intent of A!!CT world and it's CommunitY to live up to its theme, which is a Community building world, hence the name A!!CT, the CT stands for CommuniTy. Just to answer a widely asked question while I am on the subject here, CT was chosen because A!!CY would have been mistaken for a CY world. Again thanks to all from <me> MrBruce :) questions/comments email A1CTWorld at aol.com Many Thanks To FenixNov 16, 2002, 2:16pm
Very good observation and you are correct, origionally when A!!CT was named
A1CT world the CT stood for Connecticut, the state I live in, but as A1CT continued to grow in size and citizens, I realized the world was more of a Community world, than it was a Connecticut chatroom. So when A1CT was renamed A!!CT, the CT stood for Community with out using the "Y" which would have been confused as a CY related world. LOL the origional name I picked was AWCT, but as we all know, that one was not possible. MrBruce A1CTWorld at aol.com [View Quote] Poor behavior of beta testersNov 27, 2002, 3:23pm
Can't remove people who are not posting, I rarely post in beta because for
one I know what is an actual bug and what is a new feature that we have to get used to, which is what beta is all about trying the new features and seeing if they respond correctly. Also there is no sense posting the same bug 20 times. I just want E N Z O, young shamus and Bill to know that they are doing a great job with this release and I want to say to the impatient AW program users that GOOD things come to those who wait! So as a Beta tester I just want to encourage people who are not familar with the new 3.4 verson of AW to hang in there, you will be impressed! Specially if you are a Sims owner! I upgraded the Sims to "Livin' Large" and lost interest when I seen all the cool features AW has to offer.

Hi all, If any of you modlers out there have any fairly decent objects you'd
like to put to public use please contact me. They will be used in our public build world A!!CT, credit will be given to anyone who donates anything. You can get ideas of what we lack for objects by visiting A!!CT World at 50S 50W or visiting our second object yard in A!!CT2 World, Both worlds are tourist enabled. You can contact me in AW or at A1CTWorld at aol.com or MrBruce at A1CTWorld.com MrBruce Cit # 327324 Expanding world Needs volunteersNov 28, 2002, 5:14pm
Hi all, as owner of A!!CT and it's associated worlds, I am putting out an
all points bulletin that I am looking for AW citizen volunteers to help out and become a part of a growing community. A!!CT World has been renewed and soon will be upgrading from a P-100 to a P-130, the user limit will be 100 users. I am looking for mature adults to be head of my world's PK and GK programs, you will pretty much be acting on your own most of the time. You will be in charge of organizing and establishing the program and keeping track of who is screened and who is accepted into the programs. I am also looking for people to help as building teachers. I am also looking for serious people with bot knowlege, to maintain a current bot infomation center, one that contains links to all available bot downloads. I am interested in someone who has the ability to build bots and has strong knowlege of C++ and visual basic programming. I am also looking for serious people to help maintain A!!CT's personal object yards. This involves co-ordinating objects into catergories and organizing things to make them user friendly. I am also interested in having someone on board who is great with textures, space will be provided for a textures yard. Let's face it folks A!!CT is here to stay, why not be a part of a growing world that tries hard to bring new members into AW by pampering them? Intrested? or need more info? Contact MrBruce or email me at A1CTworld at aol.com or MrBruce at A1CTWorld.com today for a better AW tomorrow. MrBruce Expanding world Needs volunteersNov 28, 2002, 8:59pm
I was refering to I want a mature adult to handle the PK and GK programs. My
experience with the last program was everyone wanted to be a PK leader but once they were elected, they were hardly on line or available because Mommy took thier PC rights away from them for getting a B- in school. Sorry I didn't mean that to defend anyone, but electing a kid who is still in school is not a good idea. An Adult does not have to answer to anyone but them selves. The other jobs are open to trust worthly indiviguals of any age above 13. MrBruce [View Quote] Expanding world Needs volunteersNov 29, 2002, 12:13am
It was the wise words of many who convinced me to hang in there, I did not
realize at the time of my post that my world meant that much to people, but one such person named FeNiX proved that loud and clear! :) I can not say who or why on the user limit, but I am only paying for the building limit, not the user limit. MrBruce [View Quote] Expanding world Needs volunteersNov 29, 2002, 12:29am
LOL well keep in mind we have also successsfully brought in over 278 new
citizens this year (that I am actually aware of) there may be others who joined thanks to my world, but if they did, they never told me they were influenced by my world to sign up. I personally drag alot of people in from other chat programs, ICQ, AOL, MSN, prodigy and a few EA gaming rooms. I have tried other Unies, but I have faced ejections at the mere mention of AW universe :) That's why my world is so full of tourists all the time, if we all did this (helped promote AW), we'd see more new features added more often. Although I do admit 3 out of 5 buy a cit, but if we all worked together, we could see AW world's GZ back up to the old 30 people again :) MrBruce [View Quote] Expanding world Needs volunteersNov 30, 2002, 6:07am
Well I am not trying to discriminate against anyone, but as many of you do
not realize that most of the former Pks in my world were origionally kids and I was widely criticsized for that and reminded often of the age requirement of the Pks in the AW owned worlds. I have nothing against kids being a PK or GK, But I am at least looking for an adult leader. Like the boy scouts or girl scouts have adults as leaders. I did not think my post would be looked upon as me being for one age group or the other. I was just saying that I would like an adult to be the over see-er of the program. MrBruce.

Just a note to all. I have expanded A!!CT world to a P-130 world (2600X2600)
for all to enjoy. A!!CT's user limit is 150 people. A!!CT is also a public build world-building is open to all and tourist enabled. We plan a very big celebration to be announced very shortly in honer of this exspansion and the renewal of A!!CT world for another year. I am still looking for donaters of objects, I also plan to purchase some if prices are reasonable.(remember we (FeNiX and I) donated a world to the public, we are asking people to donate objects if they can.

The user limit was 30, but many times it was not enough to host events, we
recently had a wedding held in A!!CT and many invited guests were left out because of the the limit being reached-the user limit was a donation to us and is greatly appreciated. It helps when someone wants a place to hold an event and they know they are not restircted by the worlds user limit. Although AW (Alphaworld) surfices for most events, I am working on making the object path in A!!CT a thing to behold as I am attempting to create a path that AW world sadly lacks. But please keep in mind, that A!!CT unlike AW world is a world that helps pay the bills at AW by paying for the land we allow the public to build on. One last thought, I have considered buying a universe, however I like the AW universe to much and do not think Universes can successfully compete with the AW universe, so I am not even going to try. I recently received an email form someone asking me about supporting the AWEDU universe, this may be a consideration I am seriously thinking about. But lets not get of the subject of my asking for doantions of objects for public use in my world, my goal here is to try to get more people from other chat programs to sample AW. Which by the way if you all want to see more upgrades like the one which will soon be released, we need to get more people to register, you can easily do this by adding links to aw to your home pages in your chat programs. I use AOL, MSN, PORDIGY, ICQ and IRCQ to name a few, I have 7 profiles in AOL alone each cotaining a brief discription of AW and links to the main and download pages of AW. As a world owner I also put my world's name as a place to visit in the discription. You can do this to and remember if more users were to sign up for AW, maybe...(not promissing anything)....just maybe AW will lower the prices of citizenships!

Yes I know the world well, it is DsEden :) But DsEden is also owned by two
financially well off people, it also helps pay the bills at AW. ;) But as I have said many times since I opened A!!CT world, as its popularity increases, so will it's world size, someone else in this post again mentioned a universe, as much as I should be putting money into a universe, I have yet to see any one of them have a user base as large as AW universe's. I never see more than 45 people in either OW or DLP universes ( no pun intended here) so I think a universe is a waste of money. MrBruce A1CTWorld at aol.com [View Quote] |
