AWHS // CommunitykelleeJul 15, 2001, 7:18pm
Goober commented that the AWHS is dead. Apparently, since Munkuy left, it
has indeed entered its terminal phase. The current person so called "in charge" is himself guilty of vandalising historic AW GZ builds with advertising and other rubbish. Will some one that is responsible and gives a damn take up the gauntlet? It would be a shame for the good work that the AWHS *did* to go to waste m a r c u sJul 15, 2001, 7:30pm
Are the buildings small enough where you could copy the buildings with a
bot? I think that is the best way of preservation. Even if you handover the controls to someone as equally competent, they might make small changes which reflect their leadership and can be just as nice visiting but not really show the buildings as they were originally.

Yes Marcus, the entire GZ area has been preserved in its entirety and in its
original vandalised eyesore state in a world of its own. The GZ restoration project was not completely about restoring historic buildings intact but about making it a pleasant environment for newbies to explore without being assailed by garbage like "i was here" or " visit my place" A compromise needed to be reached between asthetics and history and with GZ preserved as it was, the AWHS came close to finding a solution. But the AWHS was not just about GZ restoration. It had many many builds that where bought to ppls attention that otherwise may have been forgotten, as with the very history of aw itself. It needs to be a continuing effort by some one that shows respect for the future as well as the past. [View Quote] m a r c u sJul 15, 2001, 8:13pm
Since you have mentioned it relates to GZ, I ask why do you want the
controls to be handed over at GZ? Can't you set up one teleport link stationed at GZ and then hand over the controls to someone to look after at the place it is linked to? They are less likely to post "I was here" and have it seen than given the opportunity to post it in GZ. You can also shift teleports if one person decides to misuse their power. It could become a community thing with several teleports as opposed to trying to find just one person to do it all. [View Quote] kelleeJul 15, 2001, 8:31pm
mmmmm i dont think u get it.....new to aw are you?
what ARE you talking about when you mention "controls?" ANYONE can place an object on uncovered ground. The point to the restoration project was to delete the garbage and cover the ground so that the vandalism can not reoccur. And yes.... there are teleport sites for the ppl that want to place objects for the purpose of advertising, That is not the point i was trying to make. Originally the AWHS was a team of volunteers, try reading about it. http://www.awcommunity.org/awhs/ [View Quote] m a r c u sJul 15, 2001, 9:04pm
OK, let me show the logic I am going by.
1) There are buildings at GZ you want to preserver 2) You give people control to maintain buildings at GZ 3) People abuse control given to them and "vandalize" 4) Therefore, you are looking for someone honest enough to maintain the GZ area without vandalizing If this is correct, you could solicit a teleport at GZ. This teleport would go to say 1998 builds, then you could have another for 1999, then 2000, 2001. [View Quote] kelleeJul 15, 2001, 9:07pm

Before Munkuy left office, he told me he had a small list of people who he
would like to take over control of AWHS, and, not to be braggy or anything, he did have me in the list for planning all those AWHS historical tours. The thing is, he never told any of his small group of AWHSers what you do as president and how he would transfer power or anything. He didn't even pick one of us, he just told us we were being considered, but then disappeared. Someone should really take up the job, but I have NO AW history embedded in me besides what i've learned from a few tours, I just would love to help maintain the beautiful AW gz. Tyrell, however, would be a very good choice as he ran the AWHS museum and so forth and can spout out 6 years of AW whenever you ask him. mauz too. :) one of those two should definately help, but both are extremely busy. :( It'd be a shame if we couldn't keep AW historically intact before it is damaged or hidden away by vandals and ad hungry kids. :?

Did you take the time to read about the AWHS? why not? The reason I am
miffed is because you posted without taking the time to find out what the AWHS is or what the GZ project was all about or even reading my post properly. so...again I will explain My post was not about putting up teleports to replace the ones removed from GZ to benefit the vandals that have placed them there. If it was that simple then it would be easy. GZ environs is already covered with litter and garbage from years of vandals and it needs to be covered to prevent more being placed there. The signs and pictures also need to be reported for removal. The AWHS is about restoring the buildings and removing the garbage, not only at GZ but all over aw. It is also about bringing attention to the history in aw and the wonderful builders that did beautiful builds with a very limited object path. Finding some one to organise and maintain AWHS and the volunteers in it, is not about building some teleports, although that has ALREADY been done, as I have previously pointed out. As I have also pointed out previously, it is not wholly about restoring historic buildings but about bringing an aesthetic appeal to a chaotic mess without losing the history of aw gz. And the GZ restoration project was only one aspect of what the AWHS did. Somebody that can whack up some teleports wont fill the bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "m a r c u s" <i_have_a_site at yahoo.com> [View Quote] m a r c u sJul 15, 2001, 9:41pm
I am all ears, type here what it is about please. Please also understand
that I am given close to 50 sites per day to sift out what one could post in a paragraph. I can not possibly find the exact sentences that answer a question which was asked after the site was even made. I have taken several attempts to find a direct answer to my question on the site you posted, but I can not find it. It is great there is a site with the info posted, but it doesn't really tell me what you are trying to do directly. [View Quote] kelleeJul 15, 2001, 9:42pm

"GZ environs is already covered with litter and garbage from years of
vandals and it needs to be covered to prevent more being placed there." What are "GZ environs" "The signs and pictures also need to be reported for removal." This was because someone was given the control to put the signs and pictures up at GZ? "The AWHS is about restoring the buildings and removing the garbage, not only at GZ but all over aw." Ok, this is where my teleport link idea came in. You have teleports from GZ to other places. This way you prevent people from putting garbage there in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to copy a build that is approved without the garbage and then only put those in GZ? "It is also about bringing attention to the history in aw and the wonderful builders that did beautiful builds with a very limited object path." That is another reason why I suggest you copy builds, which I know you said has already been done, but only allow copies of those to be built there. That way garbage can't be added in the first place. I can assure from being a first time at AW GZ, I found it hard to go from area to area without proper teleports.

Marcus?????????
GZ environs... meaning the area immediately surrounding GZ, not exempting the area covered by the "no building within" limit, but the WHOLE area out to 50x50x50x50 i have already said - whats all this about control????????????? ANYONE can build an object if the ground is not covered and it is outside the no build radius. Hundreds of ppl have and it needs to be reported for removal, no one needs to be given permission to build an object? thats is why the call it vandalism? Marcus, i seem to recall you having informed before that there is a process to abide by if you want objects removed. Its called reporting it to the GET. The AWHS is about restoring the buildings and removing the garbage, not only at GZ but all over aw read that again ***ALL over aw***. It is NOT about building teleport yards for vandals that want to build garbage near GZ, repeat, it is about having the garbage removed and restoration. *gives up* [View Quote] sinewJul 15, 2001, 11:53pm

She long since "retired" and had handed the reigns of AWHS over to M u n k u y, who
then disappeared after a while. Now AWHS is dormant and leaderless, for all intents and purposes, hence kellee's need to make such a post in the first place. [View Quote] -- Goober King Someone breath some life back into this AW community! rar1 at acsu.buffalo.edu kelleeJul 16, 2001, 2:32am

Yes, I remember GET. To use GET effectively, someone has to actually build
at a location where things need to be removed like 32432n 2348234w for example. When you say "GZ" I associate this with Ground Zero (correct me if you are referring to someplace else). If you go to AW and GZ and try to build as the average Citizen in open space you get a message "Building Inspector: Sorry you are not allowed to build within 100 meters of ground zero in this world." Therefore, it makes me conclude CONTROL is given to certain individuals to build at GZ. Even in this thread, "just a matter of getting rights from rick, and more information.." Somehow something is already established where permissions are granted. My suggestions were all in effect to that premise. [View Quote] nornnyJul 16, 2001, 10:46am
[View Quote]
Not control, just rights. If you ever owned a world, you know that you can
limit building to the first 100 meters. :) However, correct me if I'm mistaken (which I prolly am), that 100 meters only stretches out to the first 10 coordinates of ground zero, when the ground zero AWHS has been preserving is the first 20 coordinates because of the extensive amount of history that they want to cram into the area. It was even proposed to even stretch the historical area 30 coordinates, which would mean more cleanup. Take 14n 9e, you'll see ads galore that cover historical builds because of gaps in buildings. AWHS gz cleanup team regularly comes by to gz (or at least used to) and deletes those ads so that the historical builds can be actually seen. lol. AWCOM controls gz, they regulate it. But buildwise, you can say AWHS kinda controls it, but only if AWCOM lets them, and really, they're just there to preserve it, they don't have any dictatorship over gz. With ads and vandalism covering the gz area and no one to clean it up, kellee was looking for someone to save the AWHS. Therefore, someone can regularly checkup and cleanup gz so that historical builds can be observed rather than ads for sites and towns just placed a day ago. But not only that, AWHS is here to find and document ALL historical builds, they're owners, and its history in Alphaworld for others to visit and see. :) Without them, AW's history would be in essence, lost. > > Somehow something is already established where permissions are granted. It's called the World Rights feature in your AW browser. :) Nornny >My > suggestions were all in effect to that premise. > > [View Quote] iceyJul 16, 2001, 1:51pm
Imo, Alphaworld is public and anyone can build where the land is free, I am not
sure why a few citizens should be in charge for the restoration of that so called vandalized areas. If vandals were or are in AW and build something that can be defined rubbish it doesn't mean a few citizens should take care of it replacing damaged areas with something that like it or not may be also defined rubbish. There are some rules in AW about building and about not renewed citizenships and building, and surely they aren't concerning the qualities of works or judging and comdamning citizens for building properties that are not very good looking or interesting. I am not even sure the people that would care for beign in charge ever built only interesting things, I fear some built nothing at all and others just care to look at their nicks becoming popular. I also would like to spend a few words about volunteers...that sometime is really objectable and not very polite to go seek for volunteers and take all the advantages of their work. I would also like to suggest an updating of the list of members of AWHS. There are beautiful buildings in AW already, built by kids, adults, anyone... amazing galleries and tutorials that are not even featuring in AWHS, they could be easily moved to replace damaged areas, no need for further buildings ...a building shouldn't be made in a few time just to cover the land, it should mean something...or not? It's sad sometimes to see that who knows is a nobody and who is someone doesn't know take care icey >it's not a reply sw comitJul 16, 2001, 5:23pm
