anyone who's programmed in vb would know that it would be too shit to make
anything as good(or bad) as AW. [View Quote] wingMay 4, 2003, 3:36am
Ah. I avoid any programming tool/language with the word "Visual" in front of
it :) ASM!!! [View Quote] rossyboyMay 4, 2003, 10:39am
No that's what I meant... that it will make parents paranoid if their
children do ask.

Didn't they just change the rules so that any winning content has to be G
rated or something?

Any participating and awarded world must be suitable for all ages.
A person who owns or plays in higher rated worlds is NOT disqualified, but their entry must be in a world rated for all ages. For instance, if a person created an avater or object in an adult rated world that was suitable for all ages, they could place that avatar in a friends world or we could possibly see about getting a "display" world to place it, or have a world owner out there donate some of thier area for displaying avs or objects....(oooooo idea!....exposure for a world owner!). If ya'll need some explanations as to why...please holler:) [View Quote] brantMay 7, 2003, 10:29am
Well, that's not exactly true. Keep in mind that VB.NET and C++.NET compile
to the same code. While they used to be different, what you said isn't true anymore. -Brant [View Quote] count draculaMay 9, 2003, 8:12am
"suitable for all ages". That is pretty much a cultural thing. Does it
actually mean " suitable for all ages in USA" ?

Kind of funny. I know people who are 17 and married and even has a child of
their own. I guess they are suppoed to ask permission from mom if they can go to AW and chat *G* Drac strike rapier <strike at rapiercom.freeserve.co.uk> kirjoitti viestissä:3eb2a890 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > Okay I have no idea who did this but someone really really REALLY lost the > plot BIG TIME with this welcome message.

Well...seeing's how AW AND myself are in the USA, we need to follow USA laws
and regulations. Working on the new cy pages now and I'll have more info on the rules page. They should be up by then end of the weekend:) BTW....they will be rated "F" for Fun!.....idea gratis Binary Bud:) [View Quote] count draculaMay 10, 2003, 6:34am
Yep, just what I meant. There is nothing such as "suitable for all ages"
that would be international. Guess we can be glad AW is not an Iranian company, but only hosted in about the second most "srict" part of the world; it will atleast not make us cover up the faces of the avatars, only some other, in my opinion, innocent parts of the "body". I guess nobody will ever be able to give me a logical explanation why we are supposed to cover up genitals, and even worst breasts. Funny thing is also that men are allowed to be topless but not female. I think this is something that feminists should start bitching about. It cannot be right that women are not given the same " rights" as men? The funny part is that for example the nipples on a man and a woman are basically the same. When an unborn baby is developed all get the same nipples, and only after that the sex is determinated; that is the reason why men has nipples in the first place. ( Everyone actually starts as female). I wonder how for example shemales are are considered. They are legally men but have breasts; are they allowed to walk around topless without getting in problem with the law? Can I have a topless shemale in my G-rated world?

Ummm...they have here in Austin during Mardi Gras:)
And...they won:) It's a tradition that gals bare there top part of their bodies in exchange for colorful plastic bead necklaces. Sheesh...and all this time I have been getting gratis from restaurants:) count draculaMay 10, 2003, 3:28pm
Well they would if they was pro equality for sexes ;-)
I have neither heard them ever complain of how relativly small amount of women are involved in the garbage collecting system, the car repairing business; neither do I hear any complains that there are to less men as beauticians.

Yes it is funny that is has to be some weird carneval to be allowed to do a
natural thing. Yeah, lets play Mardi Gras, turn on your webcam and show me your tits and I will throw candy at the screen....

I belive it is like the word "good" or "beautiful", it totally depends whom you ask. What I might consider perfectly normal, some other might find perverted ( and the other way around) Drac |
