Who wants to take a bet on how long the AW Universe message will read this:

Immigration Officer: Welcome to ActiveWorlds :) Storage World Present Hunt
is now over---winners to be announced today!

Another week and a half is my bet. :D

[View Quote] Your bet is off :)

Let state that a kind reminder would be more helpful than a sarcastic comment.

Apologies to the community if my world's name was too long on the IO message.

During the hunt, knowing you had been kept awake the previous night by
worlds going down and bots needing restarted (mine being one of them), I did
not want to telegram you and awaken you from a nap. However, due to family
illness, I couldn't just sit around and wait for you to find a gram from me
to give me an answer either. Tengel also was online and if you couldn't have
helped me, I was going to ask him my question. When I grammed, I said
something like "Hello :) Are you there?", as you had yourself marked AFK
through most of the hunt. This is the way you replied:

Telegram from Andras, sent Sun Dec 18, 2005 4:08 PM:

Is is usually much faster if you immediately tell your problem than asking
me if I'm here :)

On another occasion during the few days of the hunt, I lost ISP connection
several times during the day. I rarely have problems with my ISP, but it
seemed to be a large area problem that day. Once again......I received a
gram from you (which I apparently have deleted), asking just who hosted my
worlds that they were "down all over the place". It was at that point, I
offered to close my world and withdraw it from the hunt.

When there were problems, everyone says to ask Andras, but my experience
this year was filled with sarcastic answers, snappy answers or no answers. I
have decided not to host any more hunts in my worlds.

I know you were under a great deal of stress and had taken on a monumental
sized task which is greatly appreciated by the entire community. But if you
can't do it without stressing out to the point you become downright rude,
what good is it? You also complained of not getting proper sleep because of
worlds going down. This hit a sore spot as I had waited up the entire night
the night before waiting for you or Tengel to show up since you had totally
overlooked putting a bot into my world with days advance notice and all
rights issued. I like proper sleep also! I just don't get much of it.

Why is this posted here? Because what most would have taken as light
hearted jesting about the IO message was once again met with your rising to
chastise the innocent.

I highly suggest a long winter's nap or a lonnnnnng vacation! An apology
for your rudeness wouldn't hurt either. Not everyone phrases things in the
same manner and should not be publically admonished because they don't
approach a subject in the way YOU would.

My sincere apology to you! You are right - I shouldn't answer grams when I'm tired or nervous.

AWI is way understaffed and they can not remember to everything.
It was not my goal to "chastise the innocent" but tell that an email or gram to a staff member would solve the IO message problem.

Apology to those who thought my post was rude.
