youre losing the point its not the posts in the
ngs that will get you in trouble as much its the
email urls the newsreader puts arent spam urls you
put are. even one is and no you cant report ONE

someone does complain its your isp that will make

cross posting is when someone posts the same thing

the same thing over an dover in each ng and making
it look unread when it is actually not... i dont

after 3.2 aws images has radically gone down to
hell, not that it was very good to begin with.
nothing stays the same from version to version. in
3.0 masks were changed so a lot of builds were
totally worthless after that. 3.2 has a lot of
problems that the beta testers missed. my world
has gone form 4-5 visits a day to 0-2 a week. the
programmers of aw are not doing well at keeping up
with technology. these days you dont expect
something to take a long time to render and you
expect graphics to be past the mid-90's by now. if
aw gets their act together and adds the features
WE ask for instead of what THEY think would be
EASIEST to do, they would probably do ok despite
how poorly they are run. im serious look at their
site. half of the feature descriptions on the
feature vote site say its not likely to happen
because its too hard for them to do. TOUGH SHIT.
im surprised that theyve lasted THIS long with
that kind of thinking. look at sim city 3k from
maxis they spent 2 years totally re-writing it
instead of sticking with the same code and just
changing it over and over. maybe with this new
video stuff aw has been having trouble with, its
time to re-write the whole damn thing, ya think?

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!

you can have a ground AND a terrain, so you can have that unlimited look
too. and you can also use coronas for headlights on cars :D
