Yes, Maki I read your awnews and its very opinionated dont you think? I read
it because I know your opinion of me and that yes Id be your first victum,
funny how your opinion in your unsigned artical states that I buy & bribe
my supporters So what I used a cit for loan program. You know about what you
write about, the citizensships I still support such as Pineriver, are very
much involved will all aspects of AW, not just A!!CT World, Pineriver has
pretty much been involved with the CYs, CTV and AWTeen, so no one is held
capive like your artical states. Then you hate tourists so much and this
artical which was written by you and not signed by you clearly shows that.
Anyone who supports you is supporting a dying program.
You speak about me wanting things for my time and money, little do you or
your little news kiddies know what I know about AWI catering to certain
worlds around here and certain people. I can say what worlds are freebies
from AWI and who got these free worlds from AWI, but I wont waste my time,
but those people will never admit the truth even if you asked. Why not do an
artical about how MrBruce pays out $1000.00 to help AWI and he knows damned
well about the favortism here that gives people universe announcements to
their private worlds. Or how certain worlds around here that are privately
owned (that generate less activity in AW) are infact non-exspiring worlds
that AWI renews every year free of charge.
Your artical is also biggeted and bias to the sense that no-where in it does
it state any tourists that were convinced to become paying citizens because
of me or A!!CT, your artical clearly states in your own writting, that all
tourists that have become citizens, use citizenships owned by me and that
our program has created a bunch of lazy freeloading tourists.
No-where in your artical is there any mention that 169 known tourists have
immigrated to citizenship with their own money because of A!!CT. 169 x 6.95
a month adds up to alot of change AWI gets from A!!CT being what it tries to
be. I am not saying my world is the only reason anyone signs up for a
citizenship, but I do know those 169 were conviced by me so i will take
credit for them being here today as citizens. Its opinions like yours that
makes our numbers so low, because when tourists venture out of A!!CT to
exsplore other worlds, they are greeted by anti tourist peopel like you and
they come back to me and say Im not paying 6.95 a month for this crap to be
treated like that and they leave.
Tell me and the community Maki what have YOU done to influence one person to
immigrate besides telling them in uncertain terms that you hate them? If I
was a tourist and knew your opinion of new comers, I would drop out to and
go play the SIMS on line.

I'm seeing the same grammatical error all over the AWNews site.

The posessive form of it has no apostrophe, it's just "its". The reason
is to make it different from the contraction of it is.

Err... Bruce, wtf is the entire meaning of that post? Do you normally
randomly flame people for no reason?

Seriously, All I see in every one of your posts is something like: I Payed
more money to AWI, therefore I deserve special treatment! Neener Neener!

Wow.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] I read the article and I must say that Maki (or whoever wrote the article)
could've done a more "fair and balanced" job if they left out the newgroup
post quotes.

Just my opinion :-)

Very observant, rossy. I myself am typically a stickler about spelling and
grammar. It's :) one of those things you start doing, are never corrected,
and therefore continue to do it in that same way. I'll think of you every
time I type its, now, rossy... and hopefully correct myself. ;)

I hope you read this through, word for word, as you seem to hope of others(I
did, and times through to be sure I understand and touched on everything).

Bruce, opinionated it may be, but it leaves it open, somewhat. The article
focuses on what I've seen and heard regarding A!!CT. Excuse me for not
'signing' the article, I suppose I figured people would infer I was the
author(as they obviously have), and was going along with the generic AWNews
unsigned informational articles.

Bruce, if you really knew me now, you'd know that I am a great supporter of
Active Worlds. Why would I put so much effort into something like the AWNews
site itself for a slowly dying community? To finish it off? That would be a
waste of time - instead, I could just leave, as so many people are. But I
don't - and I refuse to use similar software, because I believe in AW's
potential. Excuse me for not being able to afford thousands of dollars to
give me the right to say I like AW, I support AW. Instead I do what I can, I
use what little talent I have to do something for the community. You comment
about me saying you use money to buy supporters, bribery, and yet, in the
same post you ask why I don't write an article about the $1000 you pay AWI
and don't get a universe welcome message.

On the subject of tourists - you "were" absolutely right Bruce, I disliked
tourists for quite some time. But I'm well over that, it comes over time
with the compassion for the software. Have you ever heard of AWGate.com? I
maintain that as well. Do you know what that's aimed towards? That's right,
tourists. It may not be perfect, but I spend my time making what I do here
better. Have I spent loads of money to give tourists a chance? No, but I
show that I don't hate them in the way that I want to help them.

Did I really say that people are held captive in your world? There is some
reference to A!!CT as being a 'refuge' for tourists, but this is during the
explanation of the past, when there was a very sparing amount of places in
which tourists could go. I honestly don't see that as being a bad thing.

You may imply the article as being entirely abusive towards you and A!!CT,
but I believe that the majority of the article is what is seen by the
average public. There are supporters of A!!CT, there are people who don't
like it so much - there isn't really any changing what any of them think -
don't you agree? So I'm not as far on your side as you might want me to be,
I don't hate you and the entire community because of that.

Maki
