Hi all,

I'm sorry to announce that the AW Info Squares have been closed down
today, due to lack of orders (+ lack of time for maintaining them). AWIS
goes on though, with Adz at GZ Network as the only service. This will not
effect the current Adz at GZ Network memberships.

The squares are still chained by teleporters, but the ground
owners/towns should feel free to use those locations for something
better, or even to run their own local info square:)

Communities or heavy frequented locations are welcome to join the Adz at GZ
Network, to have their ads displayed on numerous GZ's instead, which I
also think is more efficient for all (including me:)

Closing this service after 5 moe or less busy years feels quite bad, but
I'm sure it's the right thing to do. AW Info Squares opened April 1997,
and I have no idea of how many ads have been displayed all these years.
Thanx to all who appreciated the service:)

A great idea, a great program. Once again another community asset falls.

Duskbat doesn't need info squares - he has more than enough guerrila style
advertisements sneaked into the GZ area to advertise well enough on his own.
And a PK to boot, this is one hell of an example - :)

Mongo seemed like you were waiting to get that one in. This is about the
squares that had tports to other cits builds. Anyone who likes to explore AW
needed them. As with the squares, the few teleports I have designed and placed
around GZ go to my builds that are active and current and I enjoy ppl to see
them. I actually take a few minutes and plan a nice teleport not like some of
our friends in aw who just stick up walls, panels and cheap signs :) maybe if I
never planted a teleport near gz you would have actually had something to say
about the squares Bille mentioned instead of an attack. You are also so behind
.. I havnt been a pk for more then a year :) your post seems a guerilla style
attack in a post I placed on topic about bille's info squares. whats up with
that!

But he does have a good point. The area surrounding aw GZ is supposed to be
cleared of signs with personal advertisements by the AWHS.
Many ppl spent hours trying to clean and tidy the area up, restoring old
builds and removing the eyesores that accumulated signs, protests and self
advertisements represent. So why is Duskbat allowed to place signs while
other, older signs are removed?

It's called the "M U N K U Y syndrome"....

kellee, I dont have signs at GZ, and all my tports are all old, nothing new.
and no one spends hours clearing signs and tidying up awgz lol take a look for

yourself. I guess, I am allowed to do things cause the aw gods love me and
want me to be happy and make everyone else get eyesores. I think u ppl just
think i go around trashing GZ cause u think u heard someone in the past say
it but yall have never really looked. I been in aw for very long time and I
have
a few decorated trorts in areas I claimed. if awhs is gonna clean up gz and
make
it look something less like a VR ghetto, i would have no problem with myself
removing anything that I have small that gets in the way. In the mean time,
if
anyone dosnt like exploring nice builds in aw and finding suprises I suggest
you
stay away from the ghetto gz and its tports :)

I am sorry yall got distracted form the topic. Bille Left word on her closing
of
squares and it turns into this. I enjoyed the squares because they always had
something new to check out and it was close to GZ where ppl are. They were
very
niceMebbe AWhs can see to it that GZ is cleaned up now and mebbe make some type

of new Info area thats current and active. mebbe at theawhs teleport park. So
talk
Chloe

:) Duskbat cover your land

I was one of the ppl that ....back in the days when AWHS meant
something....spent hours cleaning up GZ and the immediate environs. Along
with many and varied others such as Lara, Chloe, The Real Pops, and other AW
veterans. Contary to your comments that i have spoken subject to heresay, I
have seen your signs, in many cases overshadowing other ppls efforts and
secreted into tiny slits in existing builds. For example 19n 1w ..... a
vandalism effort i would hardly call "historic" and i dont think that
AWCorp would select you or any of the other vandals for special treatment.
You have found a small crack between land cover and used that to destroy the
surrounding builds...... good on ya....NOT. That is called vandalism in my
books, a self serving effort to push YOUR builds, whether good or bad, is
hardly what GZ is for.

Bille's information squares where for the benefit of any one who cared to
contact him and NOT just take it upon themselves to lay vandalism near an
existing build. I am sure that HE would appriciate your comments on the
closing of the squares "she" worked so hard on for so many years.

You accuse me of not knowing what i am talking about....? LOL
