2 Days left till A!!CT World closes (General Discussion)
2 Days left till A!!CT World closes // General DiscussionmrbruceSep 14, 2002, 8:27pm
This is a reminder that there is less than two days left till A!!CT world
closes. It will restart, but be closed to the public until several tests are conducted. We will try using the origional prop-dump to see how bad things look using a new path. If we feel the clean up is too much trouble(removing the non-rendering objects) we will reset A!!CT world and start over. The roads leaving GZ will be better aligned with 0N 0E 0S 0W as with before when they were origionally off center. It was never foreseen that A!!CT would ever be bigger than a P-10 world when GZ was origionally set up, but now that it is a P-100 it makes better sense to have things a little bit neater. MrBruce said recently "I am offically announcing that as owner of A!!CT world, I will chose the best options for all. keep in mind A!!CT is privately owned and not a public build world owned by Activeworlds. Most private world owners do not allow public building space in their worlds and no income is generated from the exsistance of A!!CT World". Besides while A!!CT was hosted by World_hosting at Heartfall.com we were NOT allowed to do anything to help raise money to keep A!!CT going, because Heartfall claimed we were using their services to make money! Yet here Heartfall uses AW's services to make money, this never made sense to me and never will! With Heartfall gone, now maybe we can do more to help generate some sort of income to keep the costs of running A!!CT in the GREEN! Keep in mind that no matter what, it does cost money to keep A!!CT world running! We will accept community donations, for a world that is provided free of charge to all-donations can be sent using Paypal-MrBruce's account name is MrBruce406969 at aol.com those who help will receive special public recognition! MrBruce's name has been used by permission in this post. Many thanks from the A!!CT building community. hostSep 18, 2002, 6:23am
In clarification... MrBruce is mistaken. Heartfall has never prohibited anyone
from earning any legitimate incomes. In Fact, We have provided extra incomes for Users around the globe. Our only objection with A!!CT and money was when we noticed signs at GZ offering world hosting based on a PC from Bruce's home for cheap and unrealistic fees. We stated to him that to advertise other services while giving the impression that A!!CT was an example of those products and services offered was not proper... We had always known that Bruce accepts money from other users to pay for the world fees and hosting. He has had donation requests up at his GZ for as long as we can remember and he has even had other people pay the bills at times. We are sorry that Bruce is under such misunderstandings. We had even offered him a broken down pay plan to spread his costs over time with zero interest or rate increase. Perhaps he is upset that things built up beyond budget... I never myself saw potential to compete with AW's generously provided for free build worlds Like AW, AWTeen, WildAW etc. but felt he at least was trying to have fun and help some tourists. Our whole goal is to help people enjoy their VR time better with new innovations and creative splendors to fulfill their fantasy building dreams. We wish Bruce the best... Peace, health & healing...

dont know about the rest of you, but I always believe the unsatisfied
customer, because if a service was good, they would have no reason to lie. so they are prob accually rip offs. and second, unless mrbruce stated that he used that other, cheap hosting service, then Heartfall have no right to complain. just like me putting up a link to rockethost.com on my easyspace website.

The opinion of the customer should always be taken over the opinion of the company.
The company is biased in profit while the customer is biased in what's generally good. --Bowen-- sweSep 18, 2002, 1:58pm
