No such luck, Elyk. Trishia is still a TL. It's SweetSuzie that got the axe
because she picked up our fallen banner and tried to right what is wrong
within the GK organization.

Ohhhhhh. I have NO idea. I didn't post that, and I don't know anything
about that.
I am not "awgossip" nor am I a moderator of that forum. I don't know who is.
Many ppl post on there anonymously.

As suspected, AWGossip is down again "for upgrading".
This is the umpteenth time AWGossip has gone down "for upgrading".
Hmmmmmmm Do we see a pattern here? Everytime we start to bring AW's
skeletons out of the closet, OOOPS, we get our forum shut down!!!

s'ok Not to worry. We WILL get our msg out, one way or another.

Stay tuned. : )

ARGH!!!!!!!

ok Now I'm getting highly annoyed. I'm not pretty when I'm annoyed.
This just happened at The Gate .....

Tart Sugar: seems awgossip is down again "for upgrading" hmmmmm
[Customs Aide]: You have been ejected for unacceptable language
Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

I'm not stupid, so when my 5 minute time-out was up, I went back to The Gate
to test a theory .....

Tart Sugar: if what just happened is what I THINK just happened ......
Tart Sugar: awgossip
[Customs Aide]: You have been ejected for unacceptable language
Immigration Officer: You have been ejected from awgate

THIS the attitude of AWI. If they don't wanna hear it, if they don't wanna
deal with it - POOF - they sweep it under the rug.

If AWI would just LISTEN to us, instead of trying to force feed us their
outdated Guidelines, and have their ETL puppets fire us for daring to
disagree with unfair rules, there would BE no awgossip to get all bent out
of shape about!!!!!

AWI - PLEASE LISTEN TO US.

I totally agree with sweets about the spam promos.
Personally, I need total quiet when I am on my puter. I turn off my speakers
when I'm chatting.
I also find it highly annoying to have 2 or 3 ppl who are listening to the
same radio station while at The Gate and saying,
"OH, wow!!! Great tune!! I haven't heard this song in AGES!!!" and then
another spam promo pops up on the chat screen.

My mute button is wearing out. >: /

Exactly, Paul. : / I'm on a very limited income. I buy food and have a
couple of monthly bills I pay.
I can't afford to renew in February at the yearly rate. I don't have that
much extra cash per month anymore.
So should I pay monthly now? It galls me to have to pay extra for anything,
when I know a cheaper option (yearly) is available.
I've heard a lot of ppl from AW are going over to there.com *sigh* My
puter won't support that site. I only have a Pentium II.
Go to DLP? Hardly anybody goes there. What's the point of a chat room when
there's nobody to chat with?
Same with CNW, although they do have a few more ppl there, and they are very
friendly, too.

So I guess I stay with AW at the monthly rate. I just hope things here
improve.

I agree. Tourists can go into Alpha World now, but they can't really *do*
anything. It reminds me of a starving man with no money, looking through the
window of a restaurant.

I can see where AWI would use tourist access to Alpha World as a sort of
"teaser". Get the tourist *hungry* to build. Alpha is the largest and most
well known of all the worlds in AW, but, well, I don't know. <shrugs>

If I had a degree in marketing I might be able to fix all of AWI's woes.

Thank-you, but no thank-you.
I quit doing birthday builds when it became apparent to me that it was no
more than a "who can build the most impressive and gaudy thing for somebody
you don't
know". It was no longer fun. It was a freaking building contest.

My tiny group of friends used to build funny, whimsical things, based on the
birthday Cit's hobbies and likes. We weren't good builders, but we sure had
FUN!!!!

My birthday last year came less than a month after the tragic death of one
of
our "tiny group of friends".
"Somebody" in AW blabbed that I had a b'day, and to come build. >: /
I was not in the mood.

Just out of politeness, I attended my birthday party. I didn't know 95% of
the ppl who built for me and I haven't heard from any of them since.

The first anniversary of Logan.'s death in the Rhode Island night club fire
is Feburary 20th. My birthday is March 15th.
I'm asking you now, plz take my name OFF the birthday build telegram that is
going around.

Thank-you,
Tart Sugar

A memorial dedicated to Logan. is in AW at 27605.40S 12777.47E 0.09a 268
Riohnna built a Tport Mall to all of Logan.'s builds, complete with
marvelous

YESS!!! It was wonderful to see the JunoDome one final time. I know Logan.
was there with us, Wallkeeping, as usual.
And FordPrefect (Logan.'s brother) became a regular at The Gate after that
and Lady Amethyst (Logan.'s sister) even tried to learn how to build!!! : )
Logan.'s parents come into AW occasionally to gaze at their son's builds.
Their Cit name is George if you should happen to see them at The Gate.

I agree with you, Bit. Really, I do. Especially what you said about "lil
Suzy".
For those ppl that do the builds for other ppl who really WANT those builds,
that's wonderful. But I still stand by opinion, for my own personal reasons.
That's allowed, correct? : )

I just find it very interesting, and a tab bit confusing, that a Cit of AW
who had previously shared my view of the "competition builds" has suddenly
pulled a 180 on me and sent me a rather snippy gram.
Well, that too is their right, I suppose.

I'm not angry, no. Just very disappointed is all. That person hadn't even
read my post before they grammed me. They had merely said, "I heard you have
been ...." and "I haven't read it myself." *SIGH* I'm sure they had
received a gram themself, or possibly an email, from somebody who was
totally outraged at my opinion, and sent along a VERY biased point of view.

Me, too, hon. Me, too. :*( I was totally screwed over in the GK
organization, and so I applied to PKs to "give something back" to the
community I have loved for so long.
Know what? They said, "Thx, but no thx." They didn't want the bru-ha-ha of
the GKs overflowing into the PKs. I can understand that, and I don't really
blame them one bit, Bit. (hehehe *sorry* I couldn't resist that.)
They told me to re-appy in 6 months when all this mess blows over and calms
down.
So, plz forgive me if I'm not "feeling the love" in AW lately.

[View Quote] TartSugar regards them as "who can build the most impressive and gaudy thing
for somebody you don't know" sites.

Daphne says they've become "competition grounds".

I think Lady NightHawk was more on target: "I can't speak for anyone else
but when I build it's because I care to give
an aw gift the only way I can ... and that is to do the best build I can
based on what the receivers likes are."

I believe most people who do a birthday build for someone - yes, even for
someone they don't know - echo Lady NightHawk's sentiments.
For most "b'day builders", it's not a competition - it's simply a fun way to
bring at least a moment of pleasure (hopefully) to someone else in AW.

Strangers? Doesn't matter. Many new acquaintances are made at b'day sites.
Some lasting friendships have even been born at b'day sites between people
who didn't know each other at all before.

If a person doesn't want a b'day site built for them, for whatever the
reason, that's fine.
If a person doesn't want to build at b'day sites for people they don't
already know, that's fine, too.

But knocking b'day sites in general (or what you feel they've become) is...
well, your opinion.
Sure isn't mine. :)
