Then I apologize to the people who pay for bandwidth (-:

I dought one 74KB post is going to overload their bandwidth, which means
there is probably nothing to pay, so no. Besides, I don't choose their
internet connection, nor do I have to money to pay for a better internet
connection for them. One more nasty post and your blocked.

And? Why don't you tell enzo to delete these giant flame wars then? They
must total 10 times as much as my post. I apologized for my post, that
should be enough. Obviously anyone paying for an internet connection knows
that any place they go could be content rich, including chat rooms, forums,
and newsgroups.

My little post is a pittance to what they download while they're in
Activeworlds (anyone reading the ngs have a cit, so they must be in AW).
Even small worlds can use 1 GB of bandwidth a month on their OP. If they had
50 vistors during that month, and assuming that each visitor visted the
world in the exact same way for the exact same period of time, each vistor
used about 20MB of bandwidth in that one world alone! Can you really
complain about a 74k post when there are 1MB flame wars and 20MB bandwidth
usages on AW? And its one post, on one day. Its not multiple posts on
multiple days, or multiple posts in one day.

Maybe more like 300kb, but oh well, lol.

"The newsgroups now require that you LOG ON to be able to make posts. To log
on you must use your Active Worlds Citizen Name and Password. The citizen
account must be an ACTIVE one, as expired accounts will not be recognized."

But you are right:
"Anyone can gain READ-ONLY access to the Active Worlds newsgroups without
logging on."

I dought anyone would read it unless they've been in AW though, considering
to start using AW, or soon using AW.

Aug 24, 2003, 11:27am

But that's beside the point. They're still on AW, and they still download
far more than my little 74k post.

Dear Enzo, administrators, and AW Citizens:

All of these topics after 'AWCntest Voting Opens!' have gone from
whatever they were to giant flame wars, responses to them (not that the
majority of topics on the ngs aren't flame wars anyway), or completely
pointless posts (whether they started that way or not). There are a few
posts which are not flames, which are constructive and contribute to the
conversation, but unfortunetely, the flames and unconstructive responses
outnumber them greatly. Anyone who posts anything sensible is immediately
chewed out by flamers, usually the same few of them. All these topics are
doing is taking up at least 300 KB on the servers, people's hard drives, and
bandwidth limits (and don't penalize me for my post Joeman, I apologized).
I know people are going to dish out a lot of crap about how if its too
much stuff or whatever that you can just not visit the ngs, but what if some
wants to come to the ngs to do CONSTRUCTIVE things and read CONSTRUCTIVE
posts and all there was is this junk? Ever think of that? Or what if someone
wanted to make the NGs a constructive place (if they aren't at the time), so
they decided to stay to do so? I honestly don't care about The Lady's posts,
I don't care about any of these posts really. I just want these flame wars
gone. They are not constructive, at all. Please, I don't want any more flame
wars, so I among others would greatly appreciate it if people would at least
NOT reply to my post or at least MAKE CONSTRUCTIVE REPLIES, and to make
constructive replies in other topics. Also I and probably a number of other
people would be very appreciative to enzo and/or any other person able to
'nuke' (>:-P) the NGs to nuke all these flames wars, because they really
just aren't doing anything good. Not onlt I, but others want this newsgroup
for good things, not to have these flame wars.

My best,
..Duo. (342836)

P.S. I am not excluding myself from the group of people who make posts which
are not constructive, but I am exlcuding myself from the group of people who
constantly flame. Also, don't critisize me for acting like an admin or
something, if the admin doesn't do the job, someone has to at least try.

PLEASE DO NOT FLAME ME

Aug 23, 2003, 6:47pm

That is, if the admin doesn't do the job, doesn't have time to, or is unable
to do the job due to any other inconvenience.

Aug 24, 2003, 11:19am

heh heh heh

Anyway, I wouldn't care about this if the posts were actually good and not
crap with no proof to back it up.

From people who aren't always on... also I think the higher cit prices have
attracted a group of cits who spend more; therefore, we have more worlds
(since they're expensive).

Why do you TEST it in a new thread? lol

Man, just test it in someone else's thread, this drives me nuts, lol.

BTW, if it doesn't work it won't send... that simple. No reason to make a
new topic.

Umm... first of all... shutup. Second of all, who's the idiot? People should
test in a reply to a thread, not a new thread. If it doesn't work... it
won't send, that simple. If it does work, it will be a constructive reply to
a thread, not a new thread that just wastes space.

Honestly, I can see why AWTeen isn't doing so well... public relations
aren't that great for one. >:-P Buttons... buttons... buttons...

social skills will help you succeed.
