Why Count......I would think you would enjoy a bit of a blood pressure
rise:)

Maybe a forced html or sometype of popup that states in all caps the
message that is in the IO message?
Or putting pertinant info in red or some other color that would stand
out as something new?
I don't think alot of people are really reading green text anymore. It
becomes too common to see just a welcome message on landing in AW.
Right now there are 3 welcome messages at the gate...the one about
hacking gets lost at the top and dissappears immediateley if any one is
chatting there (which happens regularly).
Regarding the IO message

"Welcome to the AW Universe! Reminder: Sharing Priv Passwords, changing your
citizenship email address to someone else's or clicking on .EXE URL links
may compromise the security of your citizenship"

I might be wrong on this, but I think if I was new to AW I wouldn't know
what a "Priv Password" was. Nor would I know what >EXE URL meant.
We have to go back to when we were new to the net and word things as we
would have understood them...I think:)

Bit:)

Daphne....XelaG...The Lady...etc...etc...etc....

Can we all please stop for a second and truly look at all that EVERYONE
gives to the CommunitY?

Each and every name in this thread has given their best that they can.

Amount of time spent, or monies, should hopefully not be considered here.

Instead, just the fact that they GAVE.

For pete's sake (sorry if there is a citizen named "pete" in aw....not
referring to you:)....can we just take a deep look historically at all
everyone has given, instead of hanging laundry out for everyone to see
please?

When I see people hurting other people in here, it saddens my heart. And the
sadder it gets, the more I consider leaving AW entirely.

I don't come to AW to see people attacking each other, (yes I consider the
ngs part of AW, so please refrain from pointing out the difference of the
two to me:).

For 6 years I truly enjoyed organizing the Cys.

Ya want to know why?

Because the CommunitY was once a group of wonderful people, who spent thier
time listening to folks problems, and walking them through the bad times.

Ya'll spent a ton of time taking a new tourist or citizen under your wings
and teaching them the wonderment of all AW has to offer.

Ya'll had fun once, learning new things.

This year will be the first year the Cys won't go on. (Sorry, I had intended
to make it a formal announcement, but decided after reading this thread, to
do it now.)

I am going to take some time to consider the reorganization of the Cys.

I am going to take some time to consider if the Cys should continue at all.

When I consider the phrase "CYs are CommunitY" then read threads such as
this one, I have to reconsider that phrase. I think most of you can figure
out why.

AW is getting to be a less fun place to be.

Not because of management of the program.
Not because of hacking.
Not because of theft.

Because of the anger and hate, bigotry and defamation of characters.

Because we have lost that wonderful feeling we all had when we were young in
AW........

Okie doke...Cy's are cancelled for this year...the original anniversary for
the Cys is May of 98.
We might host them for May, but not sure.
They definately need some redoing.
Hope this helps:)

And it's not Robbie doing it.

Ahhh heck Count...the intent was to make all of AW happy:)
I see it sorta like the following metaphor.
Your walking down a crowded downtown street. You look up confidently and
smile at everyone you see.
Some people will chose to lower their heads immediately to look away,
and some will smile back immediately.
Those that smile back maybe will have a great rest of the day.
Those that lower their heads....well...I just don't know.
This reminds me soooo much of a challenge I do when I'm in a place like
New York or Chicago, Tipton, Iowa or Austin Texas.
What amazes me is...the bigger the city...the less people are apt to
acknowledge a smile.
Yet in a city like Tipton (pop.150), people wave at you and if you don't
wave back...you best watch out:)
Anyways...I've ranted enough for tonight:)

btw...when I smile at a stranger they usually don't ask me why I smiled.
I reckon some take it as a friendly gesture, and some just don't care.

The point here is that there was no sack over his head....if that were
the case he would have picked up an anonymous citizenship and did it and not
told anyone who he was or what his intent was.
Possibly the reason he didn't answer was he was inundated with grams
back (750 to date) that he hasn't had a chance to yet. And probably won't to
some that called him a slut or accused him of being malicous?
I certainly wouldn't smile back at a person that "shot daggers at me"
when I smiled at them.
What WAS your response to the innocent smile?
He didn't whisper anyone's name, he just smiled:)

[View Quote] Don't forget..........not everyone received a smile. Many received blank
emails.

Dear Shalimar,

"Well, you seem to have become a self appointed defense spokesperson and
soapbox cheerleader."

Does the voicing of one's opinion deem them the above? If so we may all
wear your titles....

" I will drop it here. But before you declare it an
innocent well meaning gesture, you may want to speak with the many, many who
were disturbed by it and found it strange to say the least. "

*Looking for the broken shards, and not seeing them*
Sir:)....I have spoken to the offended, thus my attempt to enlighten
them, so they can go on their ways and know they are safe.

"What WAS my response to it? Silence. I didn't ask him to answer after the
fact. I don't
know him. But for someone who attempted to speak "metaphorically" just two
posts ago.........you missed this one by a mile! Annoying grams with no
words of intent, whether it was a blank window or a smiley, from a name you
have never heard of is NOT an innocent gesture."

I guess I see my metaphors differently. But then I am the type of person
who does her best to turn a negative into a positive:)


" And can be just as eerie as the whispered voice on your metaphorical
street!"

*Smiles and gives you a huge hug*

Now Sir......How are you feeling after a smile and hug from a non-cloaked
person you know only by a citizen of Activeworlds name?:)

"It ain't right...it just ain't right."

Where is that quote from?:)

[View Quote] The bigger city, the more scared and paranoid people are, more lonely more
artificial.

By all mean, it did not disturbe me as I said, just thought it was a bit
weird. Most peope consider me weird also, so it is ok lol
In my vocabulary weird and weirdo is not a negative word.

"I must say this was a very immature thing to do. I wish s t e f a n would
think about growing up."

KAH

Awwwww...shucks.....I wish we could all grow down....*shuffling foot in the
dirt*

Here's a question for ya'll:)

What do you do today (or wish you had the nerve to) that you did when you
were younger?

Let's see....hmmmmm

I still eat jello dry on my finger...the old "dip and lick" technique.
I still play with clay making miniature thingys.
I still act like a kid and do silly things in public...note:not always...lol
My sister and I still wrestle on the floor and laugh till it hurts!
That's just a few:)

Yall's turn:)

[View Quote] I'm sorry, in order to distinctively decipher whether I know it all or
not, you would have to actually know it all. And you don't. Too bad,
so sad -- to think you do is just as bad, and you're really just an old
man who thinks he has wisdom just because he's older than someone else.

If you're going to have a valid point, leave out the word "kids", and if
it's not too much to ask, try to gain control of your thumb muscles
again. Your right pinky too.
