Personally I don't care for the feature anyway because of the stupid
question mark, then you just get a ton of grams asking if you're offline or
online, kind of useless, however, I would also disagree with the invisible
avs, that could totally cause havoc in your rights of privacy, like most of
the other features, try putting coronas size=500 in all directions of a
group of people, or with the new bot console messages, you can make people
in your world lose their minds by faking the Operator, Immigration Officer,
etc...

haven't noticed if it's been posted before, but I think it would be a good
idea if there was like a button in settings or on the toolbar or something
that you could push and it'd ask like Dump Cache? [yes, no] then In Current
World? [yes, no] (If you only wanted to dump a single world) And then it
would automatically restart with your choices and dump it :O Just an idea,
dumping cache is such a pain, especially individual O_O
Jun 13, 2002, 8:44pm
Yes I've noticed it being a problem, if you have a steep or short object of
some sort you just go side to side or fall off, when you should be going up
/ forward. Sounds good to program that in somehow.

Wow! That's lots of good stuff :) Many interesting things I've thought about
too, and the bottom things are just funny :)) I'd comment on them all since
I was doing so while going through everything but I wont torture everyone

hmm, I think the wall being gone and terrain going all out to nowhere like a
ground object will be good, enough of random floating islands...and being
smacked into a wall once you get to the edge...and yes the terrain is dark,
but I was using terrain in my world as a test, it gets pretty varied in
height and pretty high up, seems the more smooth the terrain layout is, the
more light can get to it...so it's brighter.

hmmkay, either way, when 417 comes out the terrain ground will be
everlasting, so it'll all mix together, then you'll have to lighten the
texture anyway, lol

Interesting idea :) Organization = good ^_^ Though, we're kind of used to

I think we should, because one, it's tacky having a small island in the
middle of nothing, especially with mine, where I use a water ground object
to go with it, you can see water for meters and meters without it, and two,
it mixes well together with the terrain with a matching texture and makes
for a nice fake ground object ;)

heheh, I'm kind of sick of listening to you people complain about spam with
every suggestion, I mean, it's aw, a small community of people, you're so
worried about spam that you dont want any features added, these things are
all features of email already, and you get spam in your email, what do you
do? stop it by blocking it, cancelling it, or telling the sender to quit ;)
if such a thing were implemented another thing such as "mass-gram filter"
would also be, or something that stops it in another way, geez, we already
have tgram blocking...
