A!!CT is back on-line as a P-73/15 world.
The builds beyond the 73th degree are not gone, they have been saved and can
be restored if the world gets upgraded at a later date.
Everyone is welcome to build again.

Hes correct thats the way JP McCormick set it up, a P-73, he was the only
one available when I called AW about this issue and thats how JP set it up
with the amount of money i personally had invested in A!!CT's renewal, I
will gradually upgrade it as quickly as I can to the size it was before AW
shut it down and refunded the money to FeNiX's Mother's credit card company.
One last note, although what the kid did was bad, I think in his own heart
he loved AW so much he wanted to do something that counted, he had no money
obviously, so he used his Mother's Credit card. I really think in his own
way, he was just trying to show me how much he cared about my world. I only
wish his Mother felt the same way.
I think in the long run everything will back to normal, as the renewal and
exspansions were done by me this time and I can afford to do it a little at
a time.
Until the world is totally exspanded back out to 130 N E S W some builds
will be in limbo, but they are not lost, they are just on land that is not
authorized by AW for building.

that's bull, that kid needs to grow some freaking brains, how idiotic can
one person be? Did he not think he was going to get caught? Did he expect to
get away with this? Love and Obsession are two different things, he needs to
take a long visit to the real world.........

This is just my opinion:)
None of know the FACTS in this story since we are not the persons involved
IRL.
Heck, who really knows? Perhaps he had got permission to do it from his
parents, then had a bad report card and they cancelled it?
Maybe some hardships fell upon his family and the monies bounced?
I have to wonder what he was hoping to accomplish if he in earnest did it
knowing this would happen.
I am sure he had no idea that MrBruce would post his generousity publicly.
I emailed him personally and complimented him, and his reply was very
humble.
I (personally) will not pass judgement on him, as I really don't know the
underlying facts:)

Oh he's guilty, he's guilty alright.

Guilty of what? Loving a world so much that he just wanted it back - ok,
there are better ways to go about things, but anyone with an open heart can
be blinded by passion.

If its a crime to love something so much you'll do anything for it - then i
guess he's guilty. If its a crime to do something that could have pleased
so many - he's guilty. And if its a crime to steal someones credit card and
charge over $1000 dollars on it, then i guess he's guilty of that too.

LOL! no parent of a kid in activeworlds in the right mind would let them
take their credit card and charge $1300 on it for something they have
nothing to do with other than simply building and helping with the
world...ha!

So maki...you are saying no parent woud be supportive of thier child
"giving" to others?:)

Jan 23, 2003, 11:28pm

giving away that much money, yes, a parent would be outraged

Well...I was a parent and if I had a good amount of money I would have
allowed one of my daughters to...but then that's just how I am:)

Jan 24, 2003, 2:37am

yep. that's a pay check or two for a lot of people, you know. even if it was
a credit card where you pay it off by payments, i don't think a parent would
want to be paying those kind of payments for a long while with great
interest charges - unless they're some sort of super rich person. the parent
isn't getting anything out of it and it's overly expensive, the child is
hardly getting anything out of it, how does that figure? hell, if i were
fenix, i wouldn't even want to renew a!!ct, even if i DID like it. :P

Gezzz I would have at least offered to pay his Mom back the money to apply
to her credit if she had at least asked me rather than have my world and
attached citizenships disabled.
Although you would think I should be able to cover the full exspanse myself,
this came unexpectedly and sadly I was not prepared for it.
A!!CT is not a bad world, sadly I am aware that many do not like it, I've
been told its run by kids ect. But so is AWTeen (hence>>TEEN) and no one
says they HATE AWTeen.
But I have stated this before, perhaps if I was an unemployed adult I could
run A!!CT better, but I realize my free time is taken up by lifes other
hassles of working, sleeping, being a parent ect.
I am giving Rowey a chance at being CT in A!!CT to see if he can run it
better than me.
In the meantime as I said, my real life bills come first, but as I can, I
will gradually upgrade A!!CT to its former P-130 world size. I asked for
doantions in the past to help out a privately owned world in its renewal
costs, I was only looking for donations, FeNiX decided he wanted to renew
the whole thing!
heres a telegram I got from a friend sent to them from FeNiX (MrMike)
<Snip> MrBruce,
This is MrMiKe, or Mike. I have heard u got A!!CT, and I'm glad. I am
deeply sorry for the events and embarassments that has happened to u, A!!CT,
and other citizens of Active Worlds. I have left AW for maybe a 2-3 year
period. I will come back, but that is when I have my own creditcard, my own
money, and maybe my own house. I will make it up to u though. Your last post
in the News group I have heard from Gamecube, was absolutely right about me.
So, once again, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for yours and AW's
forgiveness.. you may contact me at rejdych_mike at hotmail.com.. bye..

Enough said.

You're a very giving person. But odds are that if the parent doesn't
understand "all this new fangled 3d stuff" they won't let their kid spend
$1300 to renew a world that they personally don't own. I know I'm kind of
dating you there, Bits, but consider it a compliment since you do understand
this 3d stuff. :P
