Hmm... emphasizing text... There are plenty of other ways to emphasize text other
than using bold or different colors, such as *this*, or _this_, or even >this<. Yes,
all CAPS is annoying, but there are other methods.

Try again! :)

Ok, I'll take them in order:

[View Quote] As I said to KMissile, there are other ways to emphasize text than using bold or
colors. Using asterisks (*), underscores(_), or some other character to separate
words are just as effective.

> b) have a quoting separated by a different style to be easily distinguishable

This can be easily done by placing a > character at the beginning of a line you want
to appear differently. The newsreader will treat that as quoted text and will make it
italicized, like so:

> This is something I want to emphasize.

If that doesn't work, you can indent with the TAB and separate it that way.

> c) use html - list tags for stuff like this

You can accomplish the same thing list tags do by using the • character (Alt+0149),
like so:

Here's a list:

• Thing #1
• Thing #2
• Thing #3

I will agree that most problems with HTML posts where looks are concerned are with
the poster, not HTML itself. (see Wing's post with the nukes in the background...
can't even read the damn text sometimes) I, personally, have no problem with HTML
*if* there's a reason for it. All these fools in here posting in HTML simply because
they can or because it pisses people off (Chuck, Brandon, KMissile, et al) are just
childish and demonstrate a complete lack of respect for those less fortunate than
them.

I was only using arbitrary numbers to demonstrate how needless it was to use HTML
instead of plain text. Using you're numbers, an HTML post is still twice the size of
a plain text post. Had a plain text post been rather long and about 10K or so, just
imagine how big the HTML version of it would be! It's a waste!

There was a time in AW when COF actually had a presence in the AW Community. There
was a time in AW when the concerns of the AW populace were actually considered before
a decision was made. There was a time in AW when people would meet in a little world
called The Transcend, and eagerly listen to COF's biggest announcements and plans for
the future. There was a time when, rather than see a product that was full of
potential get tossed aside like so much garbage, COF took it upon themselves to keep
it alive, doing it "for the community".
That was then; this is now. All the broken promises, unheard pleas, and unanswered
concerns lie plain for all to see like an open book. Citizenships that were
guaranteed to be free, abruptly changed to a paid system and unwittingly creating a
caste system of haves and have-nots that would forever divide the community. Worlds
like COFMeta, Atlantis, and WildAW, the "babies" of AWCI employees, now stand nearly
deserted and devoid of life due to neglect. World prices skyrocket out of control
without any prior warning or notification as the AW citizen base, mostly teenagers,
scramble to find enough money for their dream world. Features appear in the software
that only a marketing executive could love, as citizens' ideas go completely and
blatantly ignored. Organizations that once thrived on AWCI support (AWHS, AWEC, et
al) now stand in a state of dormancy, waiting for someone to help bring them to their
former glory. Textures get changed without any notification whatsoever, forever
changing, and in some cases, ruining the AW landscape.
And all this because of money; a simple, desperate, constant search for money. While
you were busy building virtual malls that no one would visit, you succeeding in
disenfranchising the AW populace by raising world prices and changing textures
without any input from your supposed "cherished" user base. While you were busy
shaking hands with Juno and making their world, a man by the name of Cybernome left
his post as caretaker of COFMeta (a world that *you*, AWCI, are supposed to be taking
care of) because of the stress of dealing with the AWCI management, causing it to
regress back to an empty, lonely world. While you were busy making Universes that
soon flopped, your stock did a reverse split and you actually had to buy some of your
own stock back! And while you were busy changing names and appointing Board members,
your own employees go as unnoticed and ignored as the citizens they spend their daily
lives helping and serving.
There's a reason this letter starts with the greeting "To Whom It May Concern". It's
a greeting that asks a simple question: Does this concern you? Do these things that
have occurred over the years bother you? Do you think something should be done about
them? If so, then why haven't you? The events that are described here, as well as
many others, are all well documented, so it's not as if you didn't know about them.
You are all perfectly aware of this buzzing community of people that has "suddenly"
sprung up around your little piece of software, yet you chose not to address it.
Instead of seeking to help nurture and grow this throng of loyal followers who have
been with you since the beginning, you wish to try and lure in companies and
businesses who might initially fall for the "revolutionary
e-commerce/education/modeling/simulation/whatever software" routine, but soon
discover it's nothing more than an elaborate chat room.
If it's money you're after, why not look at what has and has not worked in your
storied history so far. Virtual malls have proven to be completely ineffective, with
at mart standing empty, except for the occasional tourist lured away from AWGate. Your
precious Education universe, as well as worlds created for universities and colleges,
lie empty and dead, never to be visited again. Even your most recent projects, like
Nettazi, fail to draw in even a hint of revenue. On the other hand, mainstays like AW
and AWTeen continue to draw in hundreds of users on a daily basis. Volunteers like
Alphabit Phalpha, Brant, Bille, and countless others provide events and community
services that keep people coming back. Even employees like Facter, Flagg, and Roland
do all that they can to help make the community a better place, even if it's on their
own time! And all of these things work for one simple reason: it's for the community!
The community can make AW work!
All it takes is turning around and looking at who's behind you. Will Juno care about
AW's community and development? Will Nettaxi? Will NASA or the University of Santa
Cruz or PCDJ.com or some other corporate sponsor down the road? When all is said and
done, when all the deals have past and all the money has been squandered, we will
still be here, supporting everything you do. Why? Simply because we have taken the
time to invest in your product to its fullest. We are the ones who have committed to
making AW the greatest place for people to come and, ultimately, spend their
hard-earned money. We are the ones who have succeeded in keeping this company afloat,
despite all the hardships and bad decisions. And we are the ones who can help you
bring AW into the forefront, where it belongs; where it *needs* to be.
But in order to do that, our voices need to be heard. We need to work together if
you ever want to see this program break out of this cycle of stagnation. Your
concerns must become our concerns, and our concerns must become your concerns. Only
then, will AWCI begin to see true success, and AW will launch into the stratosphere.
Still, the question remains: Are these your concerns? Do the ideas expressed in this
letter, and echoed by hundreds of users before us, even register with you? Because if
they don't, you've essentially told every single person who's ever bought a
citizenship or a world or a t-shirt or a CD, who's ever started a community
organization or a business in AW, that it was all for nothing. You might as well tell
everyone to send you a check for $20 in the mail every year and never even come to AW
at all.
The community can help you, if you are willing to let it. Let us be heard, and
together we can bring AW out of the darkness and into the spotlight where it belongs.
Because *that* should be everyone's primary concern.

Most Sincerely,
Bob Rodehorst
"Goober King" (#103935)

---------------------------------------------
This is the letter I plan on sending to every single person on the AWCI roster.
Whether you like me or not is irrelevant. Whether you believe AWCI has a right to
ignore us or not is irrelevant. Whether you think this letter has a snowball's chance
in hell of making anything happen or not is irrelevant. The only thing that matters
is, if you agree with the statements written above, please show your support by
replying to this message with your cit name and number. If you want, you can add
extra weight to your "signature" by adding your real name, to demonstrate that you
are a real person and not just some random number. In either case, the more people
who sign it, the better chance of us actually being considered.
So please, let's drop all of our petty squabbles just this once, and show AWCI that
we can actually stand united as one for the common good. Because if we can't, then we
are no better than the company we complain about. I still have some faith in my
fellow community members. Don't destroy it.

To answer the first question: Just make something. As soon as you finish something,
it's copywrited. And the only time copywrites even matter is when someone else says
"I made this!" when, in fact, *you* made it. You just need to be able to prove that
you made it first.

That's because that's all you need to have a copyright! If you make something, you
can go right ahead and throw up that little (C) on it. If you want to, you can also
register it so that you can make it truly and ultimately official, but you don't
*have* to. If you do that, then you can put a (R) instead of a (C).

As for registering a business, who would you register it with? :P It's not as if
there's some big book somewhere with a list of all "official" companies. Just start
one up, and you've got yourself a business!

There's a difference between a copyright and a patent, though. A patent is mainly for
inventions, and lets the creator of that invention make, use, and sell the invention
however s/he wishes. A copyright, on the other hand, is for *anything* that can be
made, whether it's books or art or music or whatever. It's main purpose is to tell
the world "Hey! I made this and you didn't!" Some people try to use a copyright to
restrict distribution of their works, but that's just plain stupid. :P

But still, you can copyright *and* patent something, but it's usually not necessary.

Interesting little show he's got there. I hope everyone watched the

You have to admit, Lewis has a point. If we are indeed the "outside",
then we're definitely starting to look like the "inside", forming our
own tightly knit groups and keeping outsiders at arm's length until they
prove they're "one of us". Heck, we proved that just based on the
responses to this post, with everyone laughing at him for "getting [AW]
wrong".

I realize it's mostly human nature to form groups, but couldn't ours be
a tad more accepting and helpful towards newbies? I think the excuse
that "oh, they should go to AWGate or AWSchool" doesn't hold water if
you possess the ability to help them yourself.

Oh well, change like that is pretty sweeping, and knowing this crowd, it
probably won't happen any time soon. But hey, a guy can dream...

As far as the worldbuilding community is concerned, I think Eep's right.
There haven't been too many HenrikG's or Casay's to come along in a
while, and it seems like everyone's trying to go out on their own,
create a world, and keep it to themselves. Guess everyone's gotten
comfortable now that the worldbuilder's before them have paved the way
for them.

As for the "up and coming" people, I wouldn't call myself an expert on
such things by any stretch of the imagination. But I suppose if I had to
pick who I thought would go far in this community, I'd say Anduin
Lothario, SW Comit, Syntax, SW Chris, KAH (if he cleans up his act
*smirk*), JBELL, Mike Zimmer, and Programmer (now Radon). I think if
these guys stick with their stuff, and maybe even branch out and
diversify themselves a bit, they can definitely go all the way. As far
as I'm concerned, as long as you stay committed to helping out and being
an active member of the community, you'll go far no matter what you do.

Either that's some pretty good photography manipulation, or the aliens
are idiots. The only difference between the Arecibo stream and the
"response" was someone swapped the human figure for an alien-like
figure, made the left half of the DNA strand more squiggly, and changed
the telescope image to a version of the crop circle in Image 5.
Everything else is exactly the same. Add that to the fact that Arecibo
message was sent via radio waves, and the "response" was "burned" into
an obscure hayfield. Sounds a tad implausible, don't you think?

Also notice that Image 5 and Image 7 are shots of the exact same field,
yet they both have different "responses" in them. And in Image 7, you
can see a large horizontal gash in the field that's about the same
length and position as the "response" in Image 5. Obviously someone had
done Image 7 first and planned to do Image 5 at a later time.

It's amazing how quick some people are to believe that, for some reason,
aliens would want to bother with our planet. Are we that self-important
to think that we're really *that* interesting to travel
who-knows-how-many light years to mash weird pictures into hayfields? If
so, then these aliens really need to find a new hobby...

The reason people do it is because it's funny to watch other people see

And you still never addressed the issue of why aliens would travel
zillions of miles just to draw patterns in hayfields or in obscure ponds
that are frozen over. Doesn't it seem just a *tad* too unbelievable to
you, especially considering that most have them have been proven to be
hoaxes?

And as for the ice circles, did it ever occur to you that they could
have been made while the ice was still thick, and they had since melted?
That second one certainly seems to be the case, seeing as how the gap
around the circle seems pretty big and uneven.

Earth to Chuck! Come in, Chuck! Loss of reality imminent!

You *do* realize that Star Trek is science *fiction*, correct? There is
no "Prime Directive" and there are no aliens. (at least, not in this
neck of the universal woods) The truth of the matter is that the vast
majority of anything alien related, whether it be UFO sightings, crop
circles, or even abductions, have all been proven to *not* have anything
to do with aliens. They have all had a scientific or human explanation
for them. As far as the "facts" about aliens are concerned, I believe it
is *you* who are assuming too much.

But hey, I'm just a narrow-minded person unwilling to believe in such
things, right? Perhaps you could share with us your little UFO
experience and help us "see the light", as it were...
