Ummmm Strike.
If you want to email JP and ask if I own them that is fine.
JP gave them to me.
I chose to continue with them spending hours along with other folks to make
them happen.
What I am hearing is that the Cys are becoming a battlefield of ownership.
This unfortunately can have no happy ending.
You just aren't thinking of the possibilities here.
If JP deems anyone ownership that is fine with me, but I will have to hear
from JP personally that he choses to do so.
Until then the Cys are considered a historical event that exists as memories
now.
I sincerely wish you all the luck in the world at beginning a new event.

Sincerely,

AlphaBit Phalpha

Matt....I owned them from day one and continue to do so.
Until they are put to rest, they exist as mine.
If it's a greedy act that I saw that they continued for 7 years then saw
their demise then that's your opinion.
Sorry I have dissappointed you and others.

Hi Everyone:)

I was sitting back and watching the posts for a while before I was going to
post. But some things are being stated that are a misunderstanding. I might
have caused the misunderstandings, and I appologize if I did.

Let me help clear the misunderstandings:)

The reason I couldn't organize the Cys anymore was and is my schooling.
Since Alpha's death, I have been totally unfocused and getting a job that
was something I enjoyed (while being decent paying), just wasn't happening.
I have started the process for a degree to teach MS Apps and Graphic Apps as
an online instructor. I just finished my first term, and have quite a ways
to go. I knew I could not continue the Cys and learn full time.

Yes there were negative comments that took some of my time, but those
comments were constructive also, so I have to sum them up as constructive
criticism instead.

Thank you for the comment about my hard work Facter:) It was the hard work
of many also:)

Jerme, thank you also for the support, but the bickering caused those
bickering more trouble than me:)

The reason I attempted to shut the Cys down completely was and is proven
with what has happened in the given time since I attempted it.

One of the reasons I wanted them to become history, (and you will see it in
past posts from me), was that my name is attached to the Cys. It always has
been and always will be. I am still getting emails and phone calls from
folks that are or were concerned for the way they were and are being
organized.

I use my time spent on the Cys as references. The seven years that I handled
them is a great reference. But if a potential employer was to see that they
actually were a negative unproductive mess, that would be a silly thing to
list eh?:)

Anyways, there is a great opportunity for someone out there to start an
entire new awards ceremony, but as long as the Cys exist, no one will
attempt it.

King Tex and I are in the process of painting and cleaning and selling our
house to move to Arizona.

If the Cys can rest until we get settled I can probably take them on again,
if ya'll want me to:) I am finding idle time between assignments...yayyyyy!

Otherwise maybe a community vote for a representative should be done?

Good luck on whatever ya'll decide, but please let the Cys go into AW
History, if they can't continue in the vision we all had for them since
their beginning.

Thank you,

Bit:)

Dear Community,

I have tried to host my world on my laptop to no avail because of the router
and SBC's new policies.
Is anyone out there offering free world hosting?
I can use one of activeworld's paths no problem. I just need my world up and
running.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Test...ok I'm fixed...lol
Thanks SWE for posting that. It looks like they are free scripts
also...cool...thanks Ciena for the link!

Now that is way cool!
I think you need some music now. It seems that most of those scripts that
have music attached are the most fun. Maybe it is like the visuals that some
of the audio players have, but the listener is in control that makes this
such great fun!
Does anyone know if this type of thing could be loaded onto a screen in AW
and played with or if it would be visible to others while one person
controled the wire? If so....we would have marionette puppet shows in
AW...yayyyy!...lol
What great fun we all have here:)

Ok, I will now admit that I snuck through math in all of my school levels
and now have a problem with an exponent.
The problem reads
(4+1) little 2 for second power x 6-4
The answer I got was 50 but the book answer says 146.
I have to take classes all the way to calculus so watch out...lol
btw...thank you everyone for the kind offers to host my world. A very dear
friend offered and will be hosting it.

Nov 13, 2005, 11:12pm

Thanks JerMe!
I was doing the obvious. I was taking 6-4 to multiply the 25 by which was
25x2...now I see how it works....thanks soooo much!
I have to warn any of you upcoming students that if at any
time your educational institution wants to let you out of math class to
paint posters for events or work on theatre productions.....DON'T DO IT!:)

Dear Friends,

I purchased PSP X and just recieved an email from them that included a link
for me to send to friends that would like to purchase it at a greatly
reduced price of $69 which is $60 off the suggested retail price!
I get nothing for referring anyone. It is just Corel's way of thanking thier
customers.
If you are interested in the link, please email me at
beverlytuttle at gmail.com and I will send you the link.
If there is a better deal out there for PSPX please let us all know.

Thanks!

What pop up?
I have been using psp ever since psp5 I think and have never seen a popup?
I really like psp for creating textures plus it has the picture tube tool
that makes for great cake decorating, in fact, all of the cakes I made in
the cakewalk area were made with psp.

Ok...I'm in this geology class and I have to predict floods. I have done 80%
of this assignment, but am stumped on the prediction equations.
Can someone please explain what I need to do, like the formula please?
This is due today. I can send a jpg of the chart that needs 6 figures filled
in.
Any math geniuses out there?
Thanks:)

Thank you everyone for all the great help!
Maybe I can get back into AW for longer periods of time when summer break

I went to smarthinking.com to ask a tutor for the equation and unfortunately
neither the algebra or statistics tutors could help me. You ought to apply
there for a job! But I think their site is outsourced and you might need to
speak another language, or 3:)
This really helps tons!
Thanks again:)

Well, I emailed my instructor and let him know that I would be doing that
assignment tomorrow morning. When I get back to that page it kicks up an
error message on the ones that are wrong. I'll post the results after I get
that done. I can't believe someone is paying tutors that can't tute!...lol
Anyways, I really do appreciate the help.
I took first year math last term, but it didn't cover anything like what was
needed here. Over summer I need to practice on math because this degree
requires that I go all the way to calculus...yikes!

Wow....I check into the ngs every once in a while nowadays...mostly for math
help...(Thanks to all you great mathematicians!)
Anyways...I am curious about this thread...
Ciena...are you designated as the beta spokesperson for beta testing now?
Have you been asked to come to the ngs and answer questions and update
folks?
If so, might I make a few suggestions?

1. You as a beta tester represent others that are sharing in this task.
2. You as a possible self designated speaker for beta testers are
representing a company also.
3. You as a beta tester are doing something for the company and the
community and should perform as a representative of each with mannerisms
that you would expect from a company and community.
4. You as a beta tester assisting a community should think about what you
are saying in a public newsgroup before saying it.

In all the posts I have read, I feel that the only one whining here is you.
Maybe a repeated question is getting on your nerves. Maybe you might want to
remind yourself of questions you have wanted answered in the past in a
respectful manner. And just maybe you might want to ask whomever heads up
beta testing today to enlighten you how to perform as a beta tester or ask
that they remove you from the program if it is that irritating to you.

I hope this gives you some insight as to what people accept and expect from
a person contributing to a community.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will attempt to help you
out:)

Sincerely,

AlphaBit Phalpha

I found out about AW from a school teacher. He knew I liked creative stuff
and suggested AW as another medium to create with.

I decided to become a citizen about 20 minutes after landing in AW. I hadn't
chatted or built yet, but I saw a wonderful place to spend my spare time
(lol).

I have remained a citizen since August of 1997.

In my opinion there is no "best" feature of AW. All of the features are
wonderful! If I had to state one though, I would say the ability to be able
to paint a picture without having to clean up paint brushes is the best!

I have created a few things in Activeworlds. My first build I deleted
because it was pretty bizarre:) From there I have made a few lounges, and
homes. Cy Pastures in AW world, I created for all of us post Cy folks that
are put out to pasture now:) I am on version 56 (I think) of my world A'A
which is now Nrthpole. It has been many things, but as soon as new objects
or builds come out I am inspired to start again! I have also created some
objects and avatars and a cakewalk area with textures for folks to make
cakes from along with dreamer2 and cyberwitch. I spent a little while doing
tech support for the Juno Dome. My biggest creation however, is the Cy
Awards:) Well....I could go on forever about them, but it would become a
novel...yikes!

I don't go to too many other activities other than the Cys, but of all of
the activities I have enjoyed the second most are the SW City activities.
Those guys really know how to create and entertain! Oh...and I really loved
the NG's Survivor!

In conclusion I would like to say that AW wouldn't exist nor be entertaining
without all of the wonderful people who are here:)

May 9, 2006, 3:16pm

Hi Sweets:)

I feel the need to input some information here that pertains to some
information that was given to me first hand when I was organizing the Cys.
When the Cys became rated they had to abide by the rules and involve only
family related worlds.
I can tell you that I spoke to a lawyer and was told that if my organization
involved non family rated material in any way, and a non adult visited a non
family rated world because they had learned about it from the Cys, I would
be personally liable if a parent wanted to sue.
When I learned of that, I let Gorean world owners know and most of them
thanked me and also mentioned that they did NOT want to entice children to
their worlds and would prefer not to be on a nomination list nor voting
list.
Some of them are parents also, and thoroughly appreciated our concern for
theirs and others children.
The onset of not allowing adult rated worlds into the Cys occurred when I
found out about the Internet ratings that had been established, and had
sought legal advice. You may also have noticed that is when AWI also had to
add the world ratings box to their browser.
I might suggest that if a person wishes to share their creativity with the
community, perhaps loading their items into a world that can be rated to
accommodate the masses? But only that world would be mentioned on any lists.
I am sure you can understand the position the Cys have been put in with the
implementation of rating laws on the Internet.
I also don't think that X rated worlds are leaving Activeworlds because of
the Cy Awards.
I truly hope that you and others interested in submitting your creations can
come up with a solution that will meet the Internet rating laws and be able
to participate in future Cy Awards.

Sincerely,
AlphaBit Phalpha

<snip>

May 9, 2006, 6:05pm

Well, I like and trust my lawyer so I will keep him and definitely take his
advice over yours unless you have legal documentation that proves otherwise
on this issue?

The rating password may cover Activeworlds, however, I refused to put myself
or anyone involved in the Cys in a precarious situation.

It surely sounds like your issue is more something to be taken up with the
community as a whole. Please don't use the Cy Awards as the main issue here.

Sweets, please talk to other X rated world owners and you will find that I
truly respect and admire their creations. I understand and believe everyone
in Activeworlds are people and deserve equal respect. What you are possibly
experiencing is a dissing from people who are biased for their own reasons
be it right or wrong. But issues like these need to be taken up with the
parties concerned ok please?

Thank you,
Bit

<snip>

May 9, 2006, 6:39pm

Well Sweets,

This is going nowhere now.
If you are so concerned about adult rated worlds being acknowledged with an
award, I suggest you get off your duff and start a new awards.
Put up or shut up...please:)

If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.
BTW...I am in no way speaking as a Cy Awards representative. Just a
concerned citizen.

Bit
<snip>

May 9, 2006, 7:03pm

And this is my final say;

Back when bingo existed IT was accused of being biased towards adult rated
worlds.
No matter what event, no matter what organization, if someone is offended
during the event, or by someone who was present at the event...the event or
organization gets blamed. I did the Cys for too many years to not recognize
this.
Seriously, take the persons that are dissing your concerns aside and invite
them for tea or something. Talk to them and listen to them. You might be
amazed at the outcome with some productive communication happening.
I hope you don't pack up and leave. I don't know you, but you sound like a
very caring and concerned person. Look at the whole picture. Think outside
of the box. It works!:)
Take care Sweets:)

May 10, 2006, 2:42pm

Might I make a suggestion?
If you have a friend IRL who has children, ask them to come over and look at
what is in your world both visually, sequences, and text chat and ask them
if they feel it would be appropriate for their children.
You might also want to do a search for a site that lists an explanation of
the ratings. I used to have it. Anyone else out there have the link?
