LOL as I said in my origional post..I said "InSaNiTy please be smart and do
NOT relpy to this post so that you will not be flamed".
Having done a years business with Heartfall I CAN speak out.
I realize that instead of insanity replying, he did what he does best, he
drags his users into it by asking them to fight his battles for him. How do
I know this? Because when amivalent first posted against Heartfall, which I
knew nothing about, he grammed me and asked me to post against amivalant.
And in another past situation which I knew nothing about he did the same.
Also again I will mention the sky box which I paid $30.00 for which is no
longer usable! King BlueMax you mentioned in your post that we are friends.
Hmmm actually you put a knife in my back talking about personal lives. Shall
I speak about how a grown man in his 30's (YOU King Bluemax) who lives at
his parent's home with his wife and kid and pays NO RENT, NO BILLS?
I could go on with your person life just to let you know how it feels. you
call yourself a "Friend"? Hah!
By the way you can have my sky box seeing how's you like Heartfall so much.
its available on the path you use the sky name is hfspcskya1ct Notice the
HF and A1CT in the name. it is yours to keep King Bluemax and shove it where
the sun does not shine!
You have the nerve to say you are my friend when you stick up for a rip off
artist who No.1 offered to sell me those 4 helicopters for $50.00 which are
available on your av list free of charge?
You stick by a rip off artist who puts a website on public display which
clearly lists his prices for different sized worlds and lists COMMERCIAL
WORLDS at $300.00 a year with path included and he sends me a bill stating I
have to pay $575.00 a year?
And Carolann your another guilty party for posted at the request of Isanity,
flmaklr, host or whatever name he is using lately. you expecting a discount?
Don't count on it!
Also in all my calls to heartfall NO ONE but Lars ever anwsered the phone
there. Also Lars compalins about AW not having a toll free number, well
neither does Heartfall!
Point here is I posted to tell the builders of my world their builds were
hitting the trash can and why, they had that right to know. You never built
in my world and had no right blasting me in any post!
If your happy with your service with Heartfall fine I am happy for you, but
you really had no business responding to me or my post, it was MY MONEY, MY
WORLD, MY BUILDER'S BUILDS THAT WERE LOST not yours!
And I personaly do not care who you are or what you can have done to me, you
had no business responding to me in the manner that you did.
You Carolann are just a puppet of Heartfall just like that freeloader King
BlueMax, who can afford to pay the piper, because the bum does not work, but
has his Mom and Stepdad support him and his wife and kid! Like King so
himself yes we both live with in 2 miles of each other, so yes I do know
him.
I work for a living 13 hours a day to be exact and pay my own way plus
support 3 kids!
As for insanity's charity websites, those events happend long ago and are
not current! Notice the pic of him with Chuck Norris, even the copy right on
the sites are OLD!
I informed the public of what was happening with my world and their builds,
I had a right to do that and speak the TRUTH, I get busted on for it, now
you can bet I am going to bust back!
One last thing, Johnny B you are so right to say what you said about the
post from that "ASS" King BlueMax. He went way over board and didn't even
spell the name of his favorite hosting service right! He put hearfall LOL
HAHA
But also understand he was under the direction of insanity to post, just
like I was when I was a Heartfall customer, being dragged into his battles
not knowing the whole story.
Thanks insanity you just ended a REAL life friendship!
Enough time wasted on this issue I have a world to run!

Carolann if you are not a builder of A!!CT or a customer of Heartfall.com
then you had absolutly no reason at all to post to my post.
For one thing the personal attacks from King Bluemax are under the Community
news group and were uncalled for.
As for you Carolann you just posted that you are NOT a user of Heartfall,
never have been a user and admit you do not know Lars Wyka, so my post
against you was who are you to voice an opinion in this mater especially in
favor of Heartfall?
Heartfall always says the anti-Heartfall people are people who have NEVER
used their services. THAT IS A LIE people, kerstin and myself DID use
Heartfall, I used them for a year, not because I was happy but because he
like with Kerstin would not provide a refund and I paid him a year in
advance!
The whole issue about Heartfall here is free advertising for his services
and how good they are. But no one is allowed to say the oppisite here.
A!!CT is and always was a FREE non-profit world, any money donated went to
Heartfall or AW, NOT ME.
I think before people speak out, they should read the whole thread here and
realize that parts of it are scattered about under different headings or was
renamed to suit Insanity's topic needs.
You want proof I have it, but if I post it to satisfy your needs you will
complain about the band-width used to post insanitys lies written in his own
worlds. No, why bother so you can say I edited the truth to make my
so-called lies look good?. I won't bother!
As a business like AW, Insanity needs to accept critism just like he expects
AW to accept it. Believe me I know how he speaks badly about AW, I have
proof of all his lies.
King you make yourself look stupid because some of us read the post you made
under community where you speak about my personal life, now you lie here by
saying you didn't.
Before anyone posts any ferther try reading the whole thread and if you want
to avoid being in my shoes, take my adivce do not make the same mistake I
did. If you want to use Heartfall use it in a private build world only, this
way you can drop service quitley and do not have to explain to anyone why
you did.
I learned one lesson here, as you all pester me. this moves me closer to
letting A!!CT expire. As I am really seeing what kind of people AW is all
about. But remember one thing people, it is AW who suffers the loss not you
or me!
Although I ask for donations, remember one thing, no matter how you look at
it I have contributed at least 85% of the cost of the world size and up
grades. I only asked as a public build world, that people give something
back to me that I paid to provided for them!
If I pay the $1,300.00 renewal fee to renew A!!CT in December and I provide
90% of the world space to the public, should I not ask for some type of
compsation in return?
But also remember as you push me out of AW, I support the program your using
right now, when I leave, thanks to your generous support of Heartfall's
ripping me off, $1,300.00 for A!!CT plus all my worlds will expire, along
with the 10 cits I support monthly at 6.95 a month each.
Thats a total of $3,475.00 that AW can count on not receiving and when AW
folds you can all go back to using ICQ!
Heartfall gives nothing for nothing, they are 150% profit, well guess
what...he didn't get my $575.00 did he?
It also seems strange that only two people support Heartfall here, he claims
he has 1000 happy users, I only see 2 posting in his favor and won't you
feel awful when I use up your band width providing emails and telegrams
providing proof that I speak the truth.
It is you people who start the hate in AW, as a happy customer has the right
to promot Heartfall and why they are happy, an unhappy user has the right to
say the oppisite!
This all started because King Bluemax brought my personal life into it, this
is why Johnny b posted what he did, all King Bluemax had to do was say he
was happy with the service, that's all that was needed, he started this hate
war by bringing my off line personal business and life into it.
Did I say anything about Lar's home life? No I did not.
Have fun posting anything you want about me, I really don't care!

Lastly you all seem to forget for some reason, that I allowed public
building in A!!CT since its start in September 2001. I made my decision
public only because it was only right to inform any or all builders of my
world what was about to happen.
If AW went off line permantly with out a word would you not be upset?
I only attacked you Carolann because you posted against me saying I have the
right to advertise my world and use alot of bandwidth doing so...I only
posted my decision to drop heartfall because as I said 100 times here so
far, my world had builds owned by at least 400 builders, they had a public
right to know what was going on and why.
Your name got brought into this because you attacked me by saying what you
said in favor of King Bluemax's post to boast about Heartfall's good
charicter and to be little me.
Had you really been a humane person, you would have said it's a shame a
real-life friendship ended, so a service that personally ripped me off can
flourish.
If I asked you to go to King Bluemax's world and ask him to type the name of
a sky box I bought and paid for into his sky box. I bet it would load, why
should my sky box load in any ones world? ferther more InSaNiTy never sent
me the file for it. So again, you buy something from him that only works as
long as you keep his path services.
This in my opinion is being dishonest, I once heard bad rumors about the
service in the past, at one point I actually disagreed with the bad air
against Heartfall, then suddenly I become a victum and now I am a believer
based on my own personal experiences, not on the opinion of others.
But I stress here again I WAS A USER OF HEARTFALL.COM therefore I can post
about it's charicter and I realize the more this thread grows, and the more
I get attacked fro dropping his services, the more I AM GLAD I AM NOT A
HEARTFALL USER ANYMORE!
Carolann one last thing..I do not know you..you do not know me...you do not
know Lars, you do not know King Bluemax, although you are part of the AW
community, my posts were intended for the builders of my now renewed world.
That messae was meant for them..many of them are builders of other worlds,
they needed toknow what was about to happen..this is a news group....the
deletion of over 726,753 objects used by 500+ builders was news and the
public had a right to know, thats what this news group is all about..public
announcements when it concerns a vast number of people.
Although A!!CT is not AW world, it was ran like one, exception was I allowed
special commands, and speacial objects rights, allowing the use of create
move and rotate commands. Yes I know community, AWTeen allows the same, I am
aware of this!
So Carolann my point is our attacks on each other are pointless. But again
if you never used Heartfall then your opinion about their services is
invalid.
And King Bluemax's slander against me and my personal home life was also
uncalled for.

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.

your note InSaNiTy #2?

Oct 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!

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.

Sep 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 :)

Hi does anyone have Discreet's 3D Studiomax 4.0, 4.2 or 5.0 If so can you
please contact me, I need the following .cab files. 3dmaxsetup2.cab
3dmaxsetup3.cab and 3dmaxsetup4.cab.
The disk I have is corrupted (scratched) on these files and are badly
needed!
Please contact me at A1CTWorld at aol.com or telegram me in AW.
Many thanks MrBruce.

During the install, it found 3 files it could not copy to the Hard drive
they were each read and I was read presented with this warning: Error:c
Setup cannot copy file D:\3dsmax4/3dmaxsetup2.cab The file is either damged
or unreadable media. I was allowed to skip file. Then the same happend with
3dmaxsetup3.cab and 3dmaxsetup4.cab.
I was allowed to skip these files but eventually the install said it could
not continue with out these files and proceeded to uninstall its self. The
install read the rest of the disk however, because I watched it install
(read the file names as it installed) several times and compared the
contents of the CD by exploring it
3D Studiomax version 4 is no longer warrenteed because 3d studiomax 5.0 is
out at over a $2,000.00 price tag.
All I need is those 3 .cabs there are 9 .cabs altogether 2, 3 and 4 are the
only ones that fail to be read.

Has anyone out there used Caligari's Truespace 5.1? If so can anyone tell me
how good it is in making objects for AW, are there any tutorials out there
for TS 5.1? It appears everyone I speak to in AW has made their objects with
Truespace 3, all the tutorials are for TS 3. TS 5.1 is set up differently
than TS 3, so its tough to follow any tutorials that define the buttons
layouts. Robbies site is ok but is missing links to the rest of his
tutorial, which again is for TS 3. All the Caligari tutorials I have found
are not helpful in using TS for AW objects.
Alot of links related to AW's RWX and object making are dead links, like
Grover's tutorials, which the site no longer excists, is there any help out
there anywhere that exsplains how to use TS 5.1 effectively for use in AW?

i have been to http://ts.oriox.com/6.html before, his site has links that
are not under scored, examples are "adding/deleting faces", "prelighting
making avatars, pictures and signs". I have his tutorial in printed form but
the links after "uv projection and transparency" do not work.
I have a tutorial from Caligari, but as I said it does not help much with
making objects for AW as the program really was not intended for AW object
making in the first place.
I also have 3 D Studio max 4.0 and have found a tutorial for it written by
autodesk inc, but again, these tutorials do not focus on making objects for
AW, which are low in polys and file size. LOL the first object I created and
tried to render on an OP was 127 Mb big! It crashed my PC as soon as I got
with in 200 meters of it!
I am aware of classes out there, but I can not take the time to travel 500
miles for a class in New York if you get my meaning.
I purchased the two programs because they were the newest thing available at
the time and very exspensive!
waiting for suggestions.

Thank you robbie lol i made my first object a sphere called Mars.rwx, I
laugh because i made it ok and its file size is ok but it turned out to be a
transparent ball with the planet mars image on it. Not that I am trying to
spam here, but if you go to A!!CT and to the east of GZ at 4s 4e you will
see my first creation using TS 5.1.
I have found some of the suggestions here very helpful and I have visted
some links sent to me by people..thanks to you all...and Robbie i will print
the new pages of your tutorial when it is done :)

Just a note, Tom (Flagg) is leaving AWI as of Febuary 6th 2003.
Another good AW personality is leaving :( He will be sadly missed.

Feb 6, 2003, 4:54pm

What is happening to the AW universe program? I am talking about the user
community. I have seen a drastic decline in the number of people logged into
AW. Where have they all gone? The Sims on line? Another universe? What has
happened to the number of people who used to post in these newsgroups?
I do not see the community support I used to see here, or even if someone
posts anything serious here, someone almost always changes the subject of
the post or comes out with some sarcastic response.
I have been with AW as a citizen for over 29 months now and I have never
seen it this grim here. I just looked at all the newgroups even the ones
from Andras.net and I see very few new posts since Merry Christmas was
posted.
Does this not alarm anyone here? Our community is dying, wake up!
MrBruce A1CTWorld.com

Feb 7, 2003, 5:18pm

Ok I am sure all of you know who I am and what my goals are, I have posted
them many times here in the news groups and forums.
But for those who are unfamilar with me and my crusade here's a brief
disscription.
Many who were concerned over the closing of (AW) Alpha World to tourist
access, made claims that without Alpha worlds openness to visiters, will
decrease the number of new citizens to AW.
I took these concerns to heart and desided that if AW Inc. was not going to
reopen Alpha world to tourists (which is their right to do so) why not open
a world of my own to replace it and give the toutists what AW Inc. refuses
to give them.
This is where A!!CT world comes in. A!!CT was once a semi private building
world. I have desided to exspand it and raise the user limits and in a sense
donate it to the AW community as a fully public open building world.
To add more pizazz, I aquired an object path (set up unlike the one AW
offers in AW World), yes we have those objects, but I also have purchased
many objects made by private modelers to make our path more interesting, we
alllow all action commands. We allow terrain editing and are running the
newer 3.4 type world server.
My love for AW as a program and my love for the AW Community has casued me
to invest alot of my recreation type funds into creating a world for all to
use world wide, no matter what the race, gender or ethnic background.
I have put my world A!!CT on the line, you could say I donated it to the AW
community for all to use and to subdue.
With all this in mind and I want to add that A!!CT is privately funded by
me, I would like to say I am a large company who chose to buy into Virtual
Reality (like Juno did) but I am not, I am just an ordinary working class
indivigual, who chooses to try to make a difference in a program I happen to
have a great intrest in (AW).
Now the point of this post, I as the owner of A!!CT call out to you the
community for financial backing and help, not criticism. I knock myself out
daily, trying to think of ways to generate income to make A!!CT a
self-supporting world. So far, most ideas I think of will not work. We can
not sell lots, that's not practical, no one would pay money for a lot.
Buying a universe or sol-server is not practical, No.1 I want to be a part
of the AW universe, No.2 from what I have seen, universes are not that
popular and each universe is sort of like owning a world, the more users you
want the more you pay, the more worlds you want in your universe, the more
you pay. But most importantly, I want my dream to be in the AW universe.
So I am calling out to all of you for help, whether its financial help, or
good solid suggestions on how to make A!!CT world pay for its self, NOT FOR
PROFIT, but just support its self and for the AW Community to please
realize, that I am one member of the AW community, who is financially trying
to give back the community, what it feels AW took away. But as a working
class person, I can not do this on my own. I can not change the price of
citizenships, but perhaps if you all work with me, perhaps we can all
generate enough regisitered citizens to convince AW .Inc to lower prices.
Remember, AW is a company, it is here to make a profit, we as a community
are their profit, if we can generate enough profit for them to function
comfortably, they can afford to lower prices.
This post is long enough and sorry for the size it is, if you have any
questions about what I am trying to say here please contact me and please
help support A!!CT World, to this day, it is still 40 co-ords shy of its
former P-130 world limit.

Feb 7, 2003, 6:08pm

It has been suggested, but the only time privately owned worlds are allowed
teleports at the gate is if Mountain Myst selects it as "worlds to watch"
which is only good for one month. Plus I know if A!!CT got a teleport at the
gate, everyone would want one. case in point, I slipped by stating Flagg
raised A!!CT's user limit to 150 users when A!!CT was authorized to 30, of
course Tom did this to help me out, as you could exspect, everyone wanted a
free user limit increase, because I got one. Now AW will no longer do this
for me. Now I have to pay $50.00 for every 5 user increase. Sad to say for a
world that dragged many in from other chat programs and convinced them to
purchase a citizenship :(
But aside from that, we seriously need donations as I stated, A!!CT was a
P-130 until it was discovered FeNiX renewed it with using a credit card he
was not authorized to use. Although A!!CT is back, I was only able to
restore it back to a P-90, as many of you may not realize, there are builds
out past 90 N E S W which are stuck in limbo, until moeny is paid to AW to
reclaim this land. Sorry this was unexspectedand I was not prepaired for
this disaster. Tom quoted me a price of $780.00 to get A!!CT back out to the
former 130 N E S W co-ords it once was 2 weeks ago. I just recently paid
$50.00 to add 5 more users to allow 20 people in A!!CT at one time. As you
can see, world owning is very exspensive!!

Sorry I missed the part about mentioning A!!CT in open chat at the AWGate,
it's been tried many times, it's the damned Gatekeepers who threaten to
eject you if you advertise a paying community world at the gate. I have
argued this before that it seems certain people get away with it,
advertising their newyeareve parties or Valentine days dances, but if A!!CT
is mentioned it's considered spamming my world and the ones trying to get
the word out, are warned by the GKs they face ejections.
As I said A!!CT needs financial support and supporters do own a piece of the
world, depending how much they donate.

Good questions there maki and you deserve an answer, so here goes.
As a world owner and a avid chat program user (i.e. ICQ, MSN, Pordigy, AOL,
Yahoo ect. I visit many public chat rooms in these programs and speak often
about Activeworlds and what it is all about, I grab the rooms intrest by
mentioning the amazing capabilities of the AW software which is free to
download and use. I mention of course that I am a world owner in AW. I
instruct people where to download the software and once they enter the
AWGate to use the advanced mode, remove the webpage from the right panel,
resize the view window and chose the world tab and select A!!CT from the
list.
Now we have visiters, i keep track of their names like anyone does, I listen
to their concerns over over jealious AWTeen nerds who come here just to
delete their hard work, I do what I can for them, some i bought citizenships
for out of greif over the AWTeen deleters. Others have had a sample of the
program and left over the deletion of their hard work (thanks AWTeen nerds)
others register, get a cit and telegram me saying things like "Thanks
MrBruce, thanks to you I have decided to get a cit, it was your inspiration
and concern that made em make up my mind to become a permanent member of AW"
This is not a cop out here, but I recently had to reformat my entire HD over
a stupid videocard issue concerning MS Direct X 9.0 I lost everything in the
process, prop-dumps, saved builds and all my chat texts. But there was the
proof you needed. I am not sure why i need to defend myself everytime i make
a post here, one such explanation hurt my world's user limit as I stated
earlier about how my world had a 150 user limit. I am not here to lie or
mislead anyone, so I am not sure why i am always being questioned. As for
other worlds bringing people into AW as citizens, I never said this was not
true, but up until A!!CT went to hell over the fraudulant credit card
renewal, you have to admit, that aside from Mutation world A!!CT was always
3rd or 4th on the list below AW or AWGate and we most of the time beat out
AWTeen. Now A!!CT is a has been, because we lost what made the world public,
land and user limits, once a world is full as A!!CT is now, you either lose
user intrest, or you keep deleting the builds to make more room. I hate
deleting anything, so the best policy is add more land (exspand) that's how
AW world and AWTeen started out, they were not always the size they are now,
but they are also owned by AW Inc.

I also want to add, it seems my request fo rhelp (like always) being
responded to by the community as ATTACKS, this is what I mean in all the
posts I post here, anything A!!CT is bad, just seems all of you think A!!CT
is a doanted freebie world that drains AW's resources. How much education do
you all need to realize its people like me whppu tour hard earned money into
AW .Inc bank account? It's concerned people like me who try to bring people
into AW and its the inconsiderate ones who post anti this and question that
with great hatered mind you, that makes anyone who visits here in AW quick
to leave. Trust me on that. I hear over 200 complaints a day about abusive
people in AW and how people are cancealing their cits! I must have 20 names
on my contacts that I have no idea why i have not seen these people on line
in months, some leave without telling everyone. I should not always have to
defend myself in a newsgroup, instead as a community, we should be working
together not against each other or hating A!!CT because you believe in
AWTeen or any other world. I mention AWTeen the most here, because (face it
folks) 95% of the telegrams, posts or emails about anti-A!!CT come from
members of AWTeen world and these are from citizens not tourists. if not for
people like me, with paying worlds like my, I am sure AW would be asking a
hell of alot more then $6.95 a month for a cit. think about it and instead
of hating me for what I am trying to do for thsi program, help me and show
me what a community is supposed to be...people helping each other and
sticking together.

Feb 7, 2003, 10:18pm

Brant to the best of my knowlege and as I quote what Flagg said about his
first view of Alpha Prime (AW) "It was not the size it is now" I believe the
world owned by AW called GZ which displays Alpha Worlds origional GZ may in
all likely hood been the origional size at one time. But AW world has always
been a 32,720 for as long as I have been in AW. AWTeen is a different story
of course, because as you know it was upgraded last year, because it ran out
of space, as we all know once a world is full and no land is available for
new builders, they go elsewhere and the world's value goes down. As I stated
earlier, A!!CT as a P-90 is full, its either upgrade, or start deleting
abandoned builds, which I hate doing as any build no matter how stupid is
someones work of art and I respect that.
But please lets stick to a solution to my problem, for one and foremost,
getting A!!CT back out to the p-130 it was so the builds out there can
re-materialize.
This request is not for my selfesh gains, as the owner of this world I am
looking out for the people who were nice enough to come here to AW and
abandon those old out of date instant messaging programs.

seen here. you people here don't like me, fine i do not need to be here. why
spend another dime of my hard earned money on this crap universe full of
immature people who care nothing about anything but themselves?
This is how much I care all the builds in A!!CT are gone and so is A!!CT and
so am I. I really do not care anymore. I will call Rick Noll or JP on

Sorry you are so misguided, it was MY money that ran that world, remember? I
guess I started all this by asking someone to either join as a co-owner or
offer assistance. So for a world no one contributed a dime to, I do not
think I was the one who was being selfesh, I made nothing on that world and
got NO SUPPORT either!
As I say, maybe if you were a caring community a 15 year old kid would not
have been the one to want to renew it.
There are adults out there, trouble is it is them who do not give a damn

Childish? Why spend $1,319.00 on a program where you are not allowed to say
anything about the product you bought from the owners of this newsgroup?
I have said enough I deleted all the world database of A!!CT so I am not
spamming anymore face it my friend there is NO A!!CT to spam about anymore.
All your communitys hard work *POOF* deleted... gone!
And like you people don't care about about me, you can only expect me to not
care about you...don't worry as a paying customer E N Z O is going to get an
earfull about this on monday! I will ask him if I deserved the BS I got
thrown at me when I asked the community for help.
In fact he already knows a little already!
Enough said My removal of my world from your universe speaks for its self!

true colors, its hatred, it's jealiousy. All my hard work went to hell. I
will never ask another person to come here from another chat program ever!
You people have no idea what you lost!
And another thing you can not hold me responsible for what NCC 71854 says
about anti American stuff, he is his own person, I am not a controler and I
am not going to be held accountable for his actions and I think it childish
for you all to think so.
Don't worry though, Rick Noll will hear about all of this and I will direct
him to the abuse I got from the community in this newsgroup and ask him if
he feels I should have been subject to the abuse I was subject to here!

I will say this one more time and only once, I can not be held responsible
for the way NCC 71854 handles himself, he is his own person, he is a 26 year
old adult who is not my responsiblity. But yet you speak as if I have a hand
puppet here where I can control what he says.
Maybe the same example is perhaps I should blame you for what he says, its
your fault for not controling him when I am not.
Use your commen sense here will ya? You already got what you wanted, what
more do ya want?
