Ok... I think we all learned that when you go into a uni.. and pretened to
be someone you aren't... that you MAY hear things people say about you that
may not make you too happy. Would these people say it if they knew that
person was there.. probably not.. It happens in real life just as much as
here.. I say anyone who goes around changing their name to snoop, deserves
to hear whatever they hear. When you go looking for trouble.. it will surely
find you.

Seems to me Heu is saying he needs to be able to be able to change the world
settings as caretaker, and that he is not able to access that? Heu.. right
click on your world name in the server.. and then open properties, and add
your cit number in the caretaker line. If you have more than one cit number
there make sure there is a comma between them. Hope this helps :)

I took some pictures of my server for you Heu. I hope this will help you :)
Open your world server and right click on top of your world name. You will
see a picture similar to this
http://www.geocities.com/redgarnet22/web/worldserver1.jpg Next, go to the
bottom and click on the "Properties", the area I circled and you see in
blue in that picture. When you click on that a new box will pop up that
looks like this http://www.geocities.com/redgarnet22/web/worldserver2.jpg
I circled the area where you put caretaker citizen numbers in. Each citizen
number is separated by a comma. If your citizen number is there already,
then it is a router problem not a server problem. Good Luck Heu :) I am not
translating this because I have no idea if the translation would be
understandable :)

When I decided to get a world for selling my objects, the name I wanted
(Garnet) was already being used! (much to my dismay) so, after thinking
about it for a while, I just decided to name it Garnets. So sometimes you
see a world Garnet and a world Garnets. I haven't noticed too many people
who were confused by this, and even if they were .. the other world is just
a click away :) So... personally I'm glad they allow similar names otherwise
I would not have been able to use the name I wanted :)

I tried to get the upgrade too but it said no upgrade available.. now I have
to say skip each time I log in. I suppose I'll have to reinstall the
browser.
I have a question too.. I just got the upgrade to WinZip.. it now has 2
more options when passwording files. I tried to use the new methods..
128-Bit AES and 256-BitAES but neither were usable in AW. I had to go back
to using the weakest Zip 2.0 compatible encryption. Does anyone have any
idea if the stronger encryptions will be usable in the near future?

I have a question about DLP universe. I have a world there, by the same name
as my Garnets world in AW. I host my world myself and I tried to start it up
tonight, and it says "Unable to access attribute database - file in use by
another application". Last week it started up fine, and nothing has changed.
My world there is paid up until July of next year.. so that is not the
problem. I know the universe was sold not too long ago, and have heard
horror stories about that. I would like to know what I can do about this if
anyone knows? Thanks for you help :)

Hello Bit, I too am saddened by this news. I do however think I understand
why.. Im think maybe it feels to you like you are passing on a bit of
yourself ? You have worked so hard over the years to make this award what it
is. I think having the name CY Award was a very clever play on words.. and I
think that discovering a new name for a new award could in itself be a
contest! I think that instead of fighting you on this that maybe those
concerned could be planning a contest to see what the new award will be
named.. and what the new Trophy will look like! anyway..Bit.. a big thanks
and huggss for all you have done over the years.. and I wish you well.. and
I wish the people concerned will think about holding a contest for a new
name and Trophy design!!! I bet there are lots of ideas out there!!! :) my
2 cents worth :)

all the fighting and bickering and crap is worth this great loss. Speaking
for myself.. I am just so very sad about it all. I won't say who it is..
that will be evident soon enough.. I just hope all you who feel the
GINORMOUS need to have the last word or have the last dig or have the last
say.. are finally satisfied. My God this is supposed to be fun! Can you all
for once put your egos aside and please stop the fighting? I think we have
lost enough. :( Please think twice about replying to my post in anger or
self-righteousness or anything other than the spirit which my post has been
made for. To make us all think before we speak.. and try to remember what is
really important in life. When is enough .. really enough? Please no more
