It sure is sad to see people leaving all the time :-(( I've seen way too
many of my friends leaving lately, but I will stay to the last day
myself, and continue my contribution to the community (I've not
contributed a lot to the general community lately, this is because I'm
busy with my duties to the norwegian AW community, not that anyone would
care :-)) ). I hope that the summer will bring more life to the
community, because things are starting to get depressing now :-((

Just edit the To: or Newsgroups: (can't remember what it is in OE/Outlook)
field, remove the NGs you don't want to crosspost to. Another header that's
usefull regarding crossposts is the FollowUp-To header, which will make the
client post the message to the newsgroup(s) specified by this header
instead of replying to the same group(s) (can be overriden, off course).
It's possible to set it in OE, but I've got no idea how, my newsreader has
it in the posting dialog.

AlphaWorld won't do anything like this, it's probably going to stay pretty
much the way it is, no new special features enabled, some new objects now

Ugh, why is everyone so touchy about "privacy" right now? Bots could log an
entire world before global mode in 3.3, just that they'd have to have
instances positioned all over the world. Ever seen a world log? Doesn't log
the content of whispers, only that they happened, so if you whisper "my CC#
is #######" to somebody, the world owner won't know your CC number (even
though AW isn't designed to transfer this kind of information, and you
should NEVER do so, AW is just for chat, don't say anything you wouldn't
say on the street IRL). Privacy in AW is more than good, I don't see how it
could be made significantly better now that we got all our new privacy
features in 3.3. There are more important issues around.

Do you have any idea of how many other people steal cits in AW? And it's
probably due to the user giving him the password anyway, this problem is
not going to vanish before uneducated users stop giving out their passwords
to people! If he managed to steal it using a website, he's a very good
programmer, and judging from your description and how these people usually
are, he probably couldn't even write a Hello world in BASIC. (that means
one, extremely simple linem, of code in an old, easy language) When you
give out cits to tourists, remember to stuff their heads full of "Never
give the cit password to ANYONE!", and you'll be lowering the risk hugely.
BTW hacker != script kiddie...

Cut and paste from an existing website?? You can't steal a PW with HTML
code lol, I meant that he'd have to write a Java applet that managed to
steal it from memory (since the on-disk version is encrypted)... But I
guess he could get the applet from somewhere though, I forgot about
that... Yes, but it is quite possible to avoid having your cit stolen by
not trusting everyone, especially with weird requests... For example,
Radon made a special version of his PW stealing bot (this was during 3.1,
before the PW was machine-specifically encrypted) for me because I've got
AW installed somewhere else than C:\Active Worlds\. Wasn't exactly hard
to guess that he was going to read my aworld.ini, so I replaced my PW
with bogus instead. If I had trusted him, he probably would've gotten my
PW. Easy BASIC code doesn't take weeks to decode lol, that's complicated
BASIC code... And BASIC is *relatively* easy, remember that everything is
relative :-)) I guess there's no need to tell that a Hello World in BASIC
only takes one line, which I wouldn't categorise as anything but
extremely easy lol

You can enter my citname and your email, click the "I forgot my password"
button, but it won't send it to you, it might send it to me though :-)) It
sends it to the email address specified in the Preferences > User dialog,
so the victim does sign it's own "death sentence". I think it's silly that
parents sit and watch what their kids do, I've never done any of this crap,
and do you know why? Because my parents have told me about how bad it is,
and how stupid it is, and that they've managed to bring me up to be mature,
only immature people do this crap, so monitoring isn't really the solution
to the problem, it's education.

Actually, no, sites can't steal your password (at least not your AW
password). Only very good programmers (or people using apps made by very
good programmers) could at all manage to access memory and steal it that
way (the browser would have to be running though) from a Java applet, which
is the *only* way it could be done from a site. So don't worry about sites
stealing your AW password, because it won't happen :-)) And don't go around
telling people it will happen, it creates fear for no reason at all, and I
know you want to best for your visitors and friends (and fellow citizens)
:-)) Yup, people like this M A T T person are just stupid little script
kiddies that think they're really cool, but in fact are losers, I totally
agree, but I don't think it'll matter if schools are out, because script

The reason is that 8blah thinks he lives in the 19th century, his post is

This has happened to me several times, it seems AW has a limit to how many
telegrams (or rather how many bytes of telegram data) it will store and if
it exceeds that limit it deletes all of them, which is really annoying.

Hmmm, I've only had it occur whith immense telegram files (I never delete
them) and when I opened the telegram list right after I started AW when
it's under the heaviest load of the session (well, usually, sometimes it
reaches the climax at events like the Avvy Awards and the Cys), might have
something to do with that. A very annoying bug nonetheless, and it should
be fixed promptly.

You don't need much resources to run a newsserver :-)) People think servers
are freaky, strange, advanced things, but they're just like any other
application, nothing special. They've got resources to run a web and
uniserver, so they could just get a free or cheap newsserver and run it on
the webserver machine. If they take the free option, it'll cost them
about... $0.00 :-)) and very little in effort.

Well, there's a difference, because SHOUTCast is a free product and Live365
(I think) is a commercial product, meaning that it'll just be like giving
the Live365 people money while increasing your own maintenace costs that
you DON'T get payed back by selling your product. Now, with a universe
cooperation, there could be money in it for all the cooperating universes
because people would get cits and worlds in several of them, increasing the
community and registrations in all of them.
