well he came in seemingly with no intent except to
spam i mean he even said he wasnt gonna reply
which i take it as "im advertising and leaving so
dont bother" and html posts take a long time to
load its not something id bitch about just would
ask the person to stop

Sorry everyone...

cross posting is when someone posts the same thing
in different ngs... basically making people read
the same thing over an dover in each ng and making
it look unread when it is actually not... i dont
complain but it does bug the heck out of me

Sorry everyone...

Sep 3, 2001, 3:40am
well its twice as long try downloading 30 or 40 on
a 28k modem and each text message can take up to
10 seconds for me almost a minute if its html

Sep 1, 2001, 11:45pm
maybe we sohuld be able to adjust how fast we
walk/run... or perhaps have a new option in the
avatar DAT file where you set the walk/run speed
for each avatar that way you can make it more
realistic. for example a plane would go fater that
a person avatar

i know im complaining but so what now you know so if you dont like it

Sep 2, 2001, 3:41am
why does awcom charge $10 for every extra user
limit? im getting more and more complains every
day at how low it is and i know i could just fess
up the 50bucks but that is A LOT to be adding 5
users :P

i know im complaining but so what now you know so if you dont like it

Build # missing on the browser download page

well yeah but the build number is also on universe
attributes too so you can look there. im just
saying, your idea is good too :o)

Build # missing on the browser download page

Sep 3, 2001, 9:15pm
what are you talking about ALL universes have that
there it has been there for who knows how long.
other than that it may be a good idea but you can
still look throguh the universe options

Build # missing on the browser download page

Sep 3, 2001, 11:21pm
ok in every universe is a settings option. whoever
runs the universe sets that to the highest browser
the server will work with. for example there are
many 2.2 universes out there so they set their
universe>>>options>>>latest browser attribute
this then tells you the latest browser that will
work with that universe
whatever is in the latest browser in the aw
universe is what youll be downloading

and they dont take time to update:
when they change it anyone who is in/logging in
the universe with a lower browser will get an
upgrade message
when you upgrading you are downloading right OFF
OF their site

there is nothing worng with saying what build
number youre downloading on the site but i doubt
aw will do it cause its usless

and if you want to know what build you HAVE (not
just what is the latest that works for the
uniserver youre logged into) help>about
this tells you your citizen number in the box but
the build number is the second line of text on
that window

a list

Sep 3, 2001, 6:41pm
i want aw to put all these on the aw browser if
they don't im gonna kidnap all their programmers
and put em in a rats cage LOL

im joking so don't take that as threat

----------------

i think aw should make a separate sdk so that we
can make plug ins
i know bots were meant to run as separate programs
so that's why im asking for a separate sdk or some
attribute on the sdk that would allow you to make
it either a bot or a plugin

if you're wondering why this would be useful then
look at awear
it skips chat A LOT and has to be run as a
separate program
what would happen if it had its own sdk and it
runs every time you run aw? it wouldn't skip and
would always be there

you can make plug ins that beep at you when you
have a telegram (or better yet send a reply saying
you're afk) one could also reply to whispers
saying you're AFK.

----------------

aw should have something like MSword where you can
decide what's on the toolbar. like you can decide
whether a teleport home button would be on the
toolbar aw could also decide to be able to "drag"
teleports and put them on the toolbar (kinda like
dragging web urls from netscape onto the windows
task bar toolbar)

----------------

this has been asked time and again but we NEED
status modes like icq! (afk dnd away off-line
invisible) there could be icons that replace the
checkmark when they are off-line

----------------

when you reply to a tgram INCLUDE what was said
before by that person. sometimes i and others have
no idea what i/they are being/replying TO

----------------

a "bounce" button so you don't have to find a
private world (could call it a refresh button) if
aw doesn't know how to do it then make a world
called bounce and make it private. then just have
the button teleport them there. easy huh?

----------------

fonts
(see my earlier post)

----------------

when building being able to change ALL citizen
numbers/descriptions/actions/models etc.
maybe even be able to change the build timestamp
manually i know that may be hard but hey it can be
done have a "change" button next to build
timestamp just like you do for world ejections :P

----------------

this is probably never gonna even be able to be
done but a way to change property from an old cit
to a new one (if you know the pass AND priv pass
of the old citizen)

----------------

speed
(see earlier post)

----------------

i think that sums up my early christmas list

THE MIAMI HERALD

Published Wednesday, September 12, 2001by Leonard
Pitts, Jr.

We'll go forward from this moment.

It's my job to have something to say.

They pay me to provide words that help make sense
of that which troubles
the American soul.
But in this moment of airless shock when hot tears
sting disbelieving
eyes, the only thing I can
find to say, the only words that seem to fit, must
be addressed to the
unknown author of this
suffering.

You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.

What lesson did you hope to teach us by your
coward's attack on our
World Trade Center, our
Pentagon, us? What was it you hoped we would
learn?

Whatever it was, please know that you failed.

Did you want us to respect your cause? You just
damned your cause.

Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our
resolve

Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us
together.

Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and
quarrelsome family, a
family rent by
racial, social, political and class division, but
a family nonetheless.
We're frivolous, yes,
capable of expending tremendous emotional energy
on pop cultural
minutiae -- a singer's
revealing dress, a ball team's misfortune, a
cartoon mouse. We're
wealthy, too, spoiled by the
ready availability of trinkets and material goods,
and maybe because of
that, we walk through
life with a certain sense of blithe entitlement.

We are fundamentally decent, though --
peace-loving and compassionate.
We struggle to know
the right thing and to do it. And we are, the
overwhelming majority of
us, people of faith,
believers in a just and loving God.

Some people -- you, perhaps -- think that any or
all of this makes us
weak. You're mistaken.
We are not weak. Indeed, we are strong in ways
that cannot be measured
by arsenals.

IN PAIN

Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we
are in shock. We're
still grappling with the
unreality of the awful thing you did, still
working to make ourselves
understand that this isn't a
special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster,
isn't the plot
development from a Tom Clancy
novel. Both in terms of the awful scope of their
ambition and the
probable final death toll, your
attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of
terrorism in the
history of the United States
and, probably, the history of the world. You've
bloodied us as we have
never been bloodied
before.

But there's a gulf of difference between making us
bloody and making us
fall. This is the lesson
Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last
time anyone hit us this
hard, the last time anyone
brought us such abrupt and monumental pain. When
roused, we are
righteous in our outrage,
terrible in our force. When provoked by this level
of barbarism, we will
bear any suffering, pay
any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of
justice.

I tell you this without fear of contradiction. I
know my people, as you,
I think, do not. What I
know reassures me. It also causes me to tremble
with dread of the
future.

In the days to come, there will be recrimination
and accusation, fingers
pointing to determine
whose failure allowed this to happen and what can
be done to prevent it
from happening again.
There will be heightened security, misguided talk
of revoking basic
freedoms. We'll go forward
from this moment sobered, chastened, sad. But
determined, too.
Unimaginably determined.

THE STEEL IN US

You see, the steel in us is not always readily
apparent. That aspect of
our character is seldom
understood by people who don't know us well. On
this day, the family's
bickering is put on
hold.

As Americans we will weep, as Americans we will
mourn, and as Americans,
we will rise in
defense of all that we cherish.

So I ask again: What was it you hoped to teach us?
It occurs to me that
maybe you just
wanted us to know the depths of your hatred. If
that's the case,
consider the message
received. And take this message in exchange: You
don't know my people.
You don't know
what we're capable of. You don't know what you
just started.

But you're about to learn.

Re: 3.3 Feature list

May 25, 2002, 5:35pm
cross-posted
onto WISHLIST until now?? Found that to be kinda strange) is mass DELETION
capabilities. It's funny though how we can just simply hit CTRL+INSERT and
not only duplicate but also place an object in sequential place, but yet you
can't DELETE objects in the same manner.

Is it just me not hitting the right keys (like SHIFT+DELETE) or is this just
yet another MUCH NEEDED improvement left out of 3.3???

ummm... u can just use ctrl+right click to select all the objects in a cell
and press the delete key... wow theyre gone!

teelegram window no focus

Jun 7, 2002, 7:37pm
when i click reply or send telegram.. the telegram window does not get the
focus and i end up typing in the chat window. i find the extremly annoying
and i keep blurting things out in public i would rather not have. when i
sent an email to aw this is the response i got:

(from Will Geraghty)

Telegram window: This nows does not stop you from
using the rest of the AW
browser, you may just have to click on it.

obviously they arent gonna bother even attempting to fix this... i would
appreciate it if more people would complain about this. i know im not the
only one having problems cause people have said stuff to me that werent
meant for me (and sometimes i would have rather NOT heard it)

teelegram window no focus

Jun 7, 2002, 10:42pm
that would help if you havent ALREADY pressed enter because youre so used to
it having the focus! and that takes as long as typing it over again!
