It's like 40 coords or something in all directions from AW GZ. That's what
I call around. I mean the world AWGZ :-)) Isn't it just as well to just
leave the builds alone, only AWC staff and GET can delete it anyway.

No, they can't. Tourists (and citizens without ED privs) can only delete
tourist property.

After a quick search of the USPTO TESS (trademarks), I found no trademarks
on "awnews" or "aw news", which means we might be able to register awnews
as a trademark, in which case they won't have much choice but to give it to
us. Thing is, this cost $325... So, if we can manage to do a bit of fund
raising and get this ammount, we might be able to get it back :-))

What's worse is that these people are completely stupid, because the site
was a non-profit, pennyless site run by volunteers, and frankly, with weak
page views (in terms of the web in general, very good for an AW site
though). It's obvious they wouldn't get their money. But since this seems
to be a subsidiary of register.com, the registrar, it doesn't cost them
anything (except the $35 Goober would've renewed with if they hadn't pulled
this trick).

AWNews.com is NOT general. News.com would be general, but AWNews is not.
There's lots of evidence that they bought it on purpose to try to resell it
to the original owner. It's bad ethics by the registrar to do this (I think
that the registrar and the squatting-company is the one and same), to
"punish" their users for not ordering long-term. They're bugging us, and
it's a domain which has become known in AW and that's, well, OURS. They
seem to show resemblances with our friend I-guess-the-rest by thinking that
their customers' property trusted in their hands is their property. The
point was that we were changing owners, and Cybor didn't know that they
would let him transfer it to someone else, so he thought the best would be
to let it expire so Goober could order it again after it had expired.
Register.com didn't want to tell when it would be up for sale again
(normally much later than in this case), and because it isn't like it's a
"hot" name, Goober didn't check every five minutes if it had been released.
Probably wasn't at all, just transfered onto the domain squatting
department anyway. Don't be such a newbie, Dion!

The way I know it, you have only the apostrophe when nouns (except names)
end in "s". When it's a name, you *always* have apostrophy-s, even if the
name ends in "s".

Wow, on October 6th KAH Town will be 2 years old! That's reason to
celebrate, so you're all invited for a Sunday with events in KAH Town :-))
I'll post details about the events and times soon.

In relation to the anniversary and the "cleaning" project I'm starting, I'm
launching a building contest. To get all the details, take a peak at
http://home.no.net/awphp/bcontest.html :-))

Greetings,

If they have caretaker privs or use the PPW of someone with caretaker,
they're excepted from restrictions like those. Other than that they'd need
to manipulate either the AW executeable (unprobable in 3.3+) or the data
from your world server. In the latter cases there's nothing you can do but
kicking them.

I have nothing against you, your world nor your company, but I think you
have misunderstood the workings of these groups somewhat, thus behaving in
a way many of the regulars don't appreciate. It's completely cool that you
announced that your world had opened and what it was about, that's just the
point of this group. But that you then started posting news about it all
the time (winners, downtime info, etc) is not the point of these groups. It
only concerns you and your users, not the community in general (and
certainly not many of the groups you posted it to), and should not be
posted here (in general.discussion it's acceptable though). I think you
should consider opening a forum of your own on your website where you can
post news and noteables about the world instead of posting it here. We are
interested in that there's a new game world, introducing "solid" prizes
(nearly none of the games will get you things you can touch, but rather
virtual things you can use in AW, with the exception of the AW t-shirts and
some one-time events), but not in every little thing that goes on in it. I
hope this cleared things up a bit, and I hope you'll continue posting more
on-topic things here in the future :-)) Welcome to the groups!

We use PostNuke, not PHPNuke (it's a fork of PHPNuke though), and the
problem is quite local to our database :-((. It seems the founder and coder
of AWN had fun hacking away at PN and it's DB structure so we can't use the
official PN upgrading tools to upgrade the DB. I decided to first make out
the differences between the old and the new DB by hand and write a
migration script, but since I'm a lazy freak and at the same time
overworked (due to school, that evil thing) I haven't actually done it ;-))
Perhaps I should do it now. Or perhaps I should play a game. Hmmm...

If you're on beta, you're not allowed to do that. When you agreed/signed up
to be on the beta team, you accepted that there may be bugs and that you
would report them to the devs, not uninstall. If you're not on beta, you
shouldn't really have it anyway ;-))

I'm annoyed by people who get on beta then back out because there are bugs
due to the fact that there are many people with experience in computing, 3D
technology and AW who are interested in helping out on the beta team who
are not let in. Not saying that all the beta team is a bunch of computer
illiterate newbies (certainly not!), and it's not good to have just
technical people on it, but you get the picture.
