to get the community ng back up after Matt was rendered unable to steal ppls
IDs and post under their names... I bet his Dad is using Matts computer for
a boat anchor since he is having to go to Federal court to answer for the
things his son has done. I also bet that his buddies in AW are jerking
harddrives right and left :o) Anyway...glad to see the ng back.

Jan 24, 2004, 9:46am

Not going to mention any names here, but when this one particular world came
online with an owner who was later asking ppl to send money to help keep the
world running and did a bit of complaining in the ng, I noticed that it came
online and suddenly jumped from 1 to 11 users. This was its birthday and
being curious I zipped on in and there were 10 bots walking in a square
around gz. At first I didn't realize they were bots and went yoohoo with no
answer..Then up came the owner and I asked if he was artifically inflating
his world numbers because at that time it was a small world and we were the
only ones left. Well my son, he got all huffy and let. And lo and behold the
bots started "talking" to each other...It was so funny! Later the world
owner said that it was his business if he wanted to inflate the number of
users...LOL...be willing to be a dollar to a doughnut hole that its still
happening.

Tart, That was a very touching thing you did for Logan. I do remember you
and Logan both coming to America some years ago. (I belive as TheRaven or
just Raven) We are such a tight community that it is hard to lose one of us.
When old America was running there were hundreds of memorials to different
ppl there in the Memorial Area and I can remember once when someone said it
was "creepy" to have a Cemetery in America. I never looked at it that way.
To me, and many others, it was a place where people showed how much they
loved someone else. It is especially difficult to lose someone at such a
young age or to senseless violence. Thank you for your post here.

Hi, Derek, I don't know if AW will do it or not, but I have about 55 or 60
worlds that are no longer being used. To name a few you can have Hawaii or
Arizona or Alaska or Australia. You are welcome to use this post as my
permission to have any one of my unused worlds that AW will let you have.
And assuming that no one is presently using any of the world names I
purchased. For instance I was the original owner of the world Singles, but
now I see that is back online with another owner. Good luck.

I'm not sure about transfering ownership, but at one point I had 51 or 2
worlds running and decided to close all but 10. I offered all the worlds I
was closing to anyone who wanted them. If I'm not mistaken about 15 or 16
worlds were transfered to others. I don't know if this applies now tho.

Hi, I would like to see about the possiblity of weather or not a few good
(very good) builders would like to help recreate ancient Rome circa 100ad.
All of the builds will be as close to the original building as possible and
as close to their original location as possible. (VR wise) Hundreds of new
objects and textures will be avaliable and I'm pretty sure we will be able
to build about 1.3 x 1.3 miles of Rome. That includes all of the "downtown"
area and a lot of the suburbs. If you would like to take a look at the first
build in VR Rome you can visit the Circus Maximus (under construction) The
Circus Maximus was approximately 600 meters long by 180 meters wide and
included dozens and dozens of shops. Take a look and if you feel like you
would like to help with this project there are about 60 major builds to be
done, not including tenements and villas and gardens, ect, ect.

Sure. Thanks. Pls send me the cords and I will take a look.

Thanks to the efforts of Andras tourists can now build in America and not
have to worry about their work being deleted by others. They can also send
and recieve tgs and share building privs with someone else. Andras has done
an outstanding job and I'm sure it will change AW for the better. Thanks for
your efforts on behalf of the VR experience Andras. Well done!!

Feb 25, 2004, 7:28pm

I have to admit that I am really impressed with this city also. Gotta watch
the traffic tho and the subway ride is great. This is an example of builders
and Caretakers working together. The build is all NYXboys, but Ciena has
helped cut down on the lag by creating walls with the correct texture on
them so animations can be kept to a minimum. As far as I'm concerned the
city can continue to be enlarged and if anyone else would like to build a
skyscraper or park or whatever, as long as it is within the city theme, they
will be welcome to do so. Thanks for the great build NYX.

Hmm, read the Book. It's a great story no matter what, if any, religion you
are. Looking forward to the movie. No need to trash a guy because he has a
belief. I have no more objection to carl posting this info regarding a movie
than someone posting info regarding a social event in AW. I don't consider
someone to be forcing something on me when they post about events I could
care less about and if carl wants to post about this movie thats ok, with
me, too. Heck, you never know...he may just be right.

Umm Star...its not April ?? LOL. Take care, and I do love the objects you
are doing for Rome. Some of the best objects I've had to work with in awhile
now. And I do appreciate the way you work with me to make sure that I am
getting exactly what I am asking for. And I gotta admit, that when you do
deviate from what I am asking for...you are generally exactly right. If
Anyone is looking for a good modeler, just take a look at the objects at gz
in VR Rome. Verts are kept to as few as possible, great textures and some
very innovative designs. The columns are all adjustable, so you can make
them any height needed and they are tagged. The pedestals are all ajustable
in height, length and width, so you can go from a 2x2 ped up to any size you
need. All of the arches are tagged and come in several heights and the
marble floors start with a base marble texture and design that allows one to
tag and create picture so you can have 3 different marbles per square or you
can turn it into a mosaic or any picture you desire. The headers on the
arches are all create picture so you can use the one arch and have an
infinate number of marble textures and headers. Very versatile pieces and
everything is built to the AW standard and will match any existing models
you wish to build with. For my money, Star is among the very few at the top
of the creative list in AW. Creativity doesn't count if you can't give the
customer what they want.

Does anyone know of a site where there is a build using the kirche objects
by dache(sp?) I have the kirche objects going up to about 50 or 60 in
number, but have never seen a build using them. If so, I would appreciate an
addy. Thanks.

Mar 21, 2004, 12:39pm

I wish to thank all of the people who put up cards and builds at my Birthday
site. I have sent an individual thank you to everyone who left greetings,
created the fantastic builds or offered objects for presents. Unfortunately,
I could not get all the names to work for telegrams and thus this post.
Thanks so much for making it an enjoyable occasion.

On surviving your recent demise :o)

Apr 23, 2004, 4:24pm

It is with a broken heart that I write that my beloved wife Peg passed away
this week. Even tho Peg did not come into AW she always supported my
activities and enjoyed hearing about the trials and tribulations of vr life.
A memorial area had been prepared in America at 85n 190e for all citizens.
Due to a special arraingement with AW, America will run as long as AW is in
existence and any memorials placed there will stay there during AW's
lifetime. Weather I am here or not. America's Memorial area is open to
anyone, regardless of race, creed or religion. Citizen or not makes no
difference. Anyone is welcome to place a memorial to a loved one. I remember
once, someone, said that a memorial area was "creepy". Like a cemetery. I
don't see it that way. I see it as an expression of love.

Does anyone in here know how to get in touch with Tom Flagg?? AWI is
claiming they have no record of my paying for my galaxy nor any record of my
paying for upgrades. The last upgrade I purchased was to include the 3.5
when released. At the time I purchased my last upgrade Tom guaranteed me the
3.5 when it came. At the time he was thinking it would be within a month or
so, but it took some time longer to complete. Tom offered me the beta
version, but I opted to wait until it had fewer bugs and it took a few weeks
over the one year time limit and Tom got gone from AWI. Now my galaxy is
having probs running on the new windows and AWI is not doing a cure. I'm
left with the option of buying my galaxy upgrades again. Thanks for the
help. Bob Gurkin

Jun 1, 2004, 2:19pm

Thanks so much guys n gals. I will start running numbers. If you think about
it for a second, can you remember one instance in the history of AW that
they would give out a galaxy or upgrades to a galaxy and say ...OK you can
pay it later... No one there has ever given me a world or galaxy that I
haven't paid for in advance. Also, regarding the payment versus ownership.
When I purchased my galaxy I owned it from that point on. Just because I
don't have the original reciept doesn't mean I don't own it. My galaxy has
its operating license and that is as good as the title to your automobile.
How many can produce the original bill of sale to an auto you purchased 7 or
8 years ago? Not many I bet, but I'm sure there will be 40 or 50 who can
throw up a hand and start screaming meeeeeeeeeeeee. AWI says they can't find
the original sale stuff because Tom kept poor records. So for all they know
my original sales receipt could be under his blotter. That doesn't mean its
not paid for tho.

Does anyone in here know how to get in touch with Tom Flagg?

Aug 13, 2004, 7:07pm

Hi, as some of you are aware I have been building Ancient Rome (circa 100bc
thru 200ad) The Forum area is now complete and only a few major builds are
left. (Colosseum, Pantheon, Virgins Temple, ect) I presently have thousands
of objects that are specifically for building ancient builds and would like
to invite anyone interested in Ancient Rome to participate. The only
restrictions will be no modern buildings such as glass houses floating in
the sky. For those who would like to build in an ancient innercity type area
that is possible also. If you would like to participate in VR Rome you can
do so by downloading
http://host.activeworlds.com/america/web/newfoundland.exe
You can leave me a message via tg or rgurkin at earthlink.net

Well rossyboy if you think I am using this venue to set up an elaborate
scheme to introduce a virus into your computer I would suggest that you stay
away. Don't download it. Then you will be perfectly safe. And Strike
Rapier...if its too much trouble for you, just simply don't bother. I sure
your presence will be sorely missed, but at least now you won't lose any
time from the ng. By all means...stay here. Jet

One last thing Strike. You need to read the rules and regs of this ng again.
Talking about and keeping up to date on ALL the galaxies and universes
derived from AW is permissible in here. Yes, I can make posts regarding my
Galaxy. Yes, I can let others know that it is open for building. Yes, I can
give updates on events and models and upgrades. I don't break the rules.
BTW I have no bugs in my galaxy. I have passed on the last few upgrades so
it will be the same in appearance as AW was a couple of years ago. When the
bugs are out I may consider upgrading then. "strike rapier"

Gosh, I'm almost embarressed at all the nice things said. Thanks guys and
gals.
Regarding Rome, I honestly don't know if it will work or not. All of you
know of the dozens (if not hundreds) of dead communities in AW. They come
into being and get busy for awhile and then just die out. Possibly, the same
will happen with VR Rome. I'm not going to lie about it.... I had hoped to
attract some school groups or some of the ppl posting on the MB of some of
the major Ancient Rome sites and it's just not happening. Most of these ppl
are not familiar with VR and don't know what to do when they are in here. No
building skills, all just total newbys. I gave up teaching after I started
AWSchool and have no desire to teach casual visitors how to "walk and fly"
So, I'm opening building to those who like to build. (Not necessairly a
community) and would like to try another type of build that requires actual
building skills. VR Rome has some of the most unique building objects in all
of VR and nearly any kind of ancient build is possible. You are welcome to
visit and ck it out. There is an OY and the object list from America will
work there. Shown on the net are tons of ancient homes and public places,
with plans, so "inspiration" shouldn't be that hard to come by. With
models from different eras ranging from 2,000bc thru the middle ages and on
up to date it isn't impossible to find just the right model to complete a
project. Anyway, the invitation is there and its free. I don't think you
will get a better offer anytime this year. BTW, if you would rather not
leave AW to build ,and possiby get a trojan or virus:) most of these models
are in America also and I would be willing to set up a Roman Build area
there. (See, I'm not impossible to get along with) If you ever really took a
long hard look at some of the most fantastic villas and temples that these
ppl were capable of, you would realize why it facinates me so. The building
tecniques they developed then are still being used as the very basic
building blocks of our cities of today.

Hi, my galaxy has been turned into a huge model railroad and is now open to
other cits for building. All of the railroad objects are from Pelican, with
the exception of a very few items. Pelican has been a joy to work with in
the creation of these unique objects. There are miles and miles of track and
citizens can build homes or railroad themed builds if they please. Pelican
has created a store set that will enable the builders to build a small town
if they wish. Along with the sets from Lady Murasaki and Starheart I believe
that most anykind of build can be created. For the present this offering is
only in the galaxy, but they will be avaliable in America after the next
registry. Citizenships are free in the galaxy, but building is by invitation
only. You can download the galaxy at

Allright guys. Be careful now or you may end up convincing some ppl that
there are those of us who are still drinking from lead pipes :)
Hi XelaG. So good to see you :o) Andras is being kind enough to bot it to
America for me. At the present, all of the Forum area out to and including
Starhearts Roman Colisseum is in position. Yet to come are the Circus
Maximus and one other temple. I will rebuild the aquaduct myself. At this
point I would like to say that if anyone would like to put up a Roman style
build they would be welcome to do so. Starheart and Lady Murasaki have
provided hundreds of objects and I have yet to find an ancient building that
can't be reproduced. (cept one) The teleport to the Roman Forum is in
America at gz and the Roman OY is directly above the Forum.

Many of the AW community are aware that I have had a bit of a problem with
my heart the last few years. I just recently underwent a multiple bypass
operation that was complicated by pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung.
I seem to be on the mend again and other than looking like I've been kinda
pieced together I seem to be doing much better now and over the next year
expect a full recovery. There have been many emails and tgs from friends and
I would love to respond to each and everyone, but my energy levels are still
a bit low. So I will thank each and every one of you who had either put up
a card or get well site by this forum. Thank you and God Bless... Jetta
