Hi everyone:

[View Quote] However though Baro, look at it this way....

By responding to the telegram AT ALL, you're accomplishing what the SPAMMER
set out to do in the first place.

Which is why I just simply delete the gram. If they send it to me AGAIN,
their name is MUD and therefore goes into the IGNORE section.... :-)

Hi everyone:

I'm busy surfin' around the various AW websites and have noticed that the
ActiveWorlds Travel Agency website at http://awta.cjb.net/ seems to be down.
Anybody have any idea why??

Also, I know there's a group that will set up a Teleport Zone in exchange
for a registration. However, I can't seem to find the website in my
bookmarks. Does anybody happen to have the URL to this site??

I've already registered with AWCC. Maybe I should check there in case the
AWTA bookmark I have is outdated, but I would appreciate having the one for
the teleport zone too. :-)

Thanks a bunch & Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

Two things....

1). Is it just ME or is the Contact List Server COMPLETELY DOWN??? I say
this because when I first started the browser, I could see ALL of my
contacts and where they were (if they give that out). But now, all I see is
a BLANK SCREEN in the CONTACTS tab.

2). Also, EVERY build I pass by seems to be shown as a NAC build. No, I'm
NOT kidding. EVERY object of EVERY build or road I run across on
AlphaWorld.

Is it just ME or am I seeing things??? *boggle*

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Patrick

P.S.: There WAS a brief time in which the browser lost connection with the
server. I wonder if there could somehow be a connection....Hmmmm....

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Not really. :-)

Though I found it quite ironic that, as I was traveling up Syntax' road
(facing West) while on my back to my hometown from SW City the other night
(I backtracked Syntax), there was a HUGE hill just a little ways west of
Ballodon City, yet there was nothing but bare ground underneath it.

I seemingluy recall a rather large body of water.rwx there. Mebbe Syntax
should've left it there 'cause if he had, this idiot wouldn't have been
virtually unearthed. :-)

Then too, this wacko sounds like he could probaby DRINK a REAL body of water
that size if ya follow his logic... *Hint...Hint*

Though, I'll be happy to 'gram ya asking for that broom should I spot
anything unusual laying around along the Riverside Expressway. :-)

Hi everyone:

Moving on to a more CONSTRUCTIVE and USEFUL thread, I'm in the need for
traffic lights for my town on AlphaWorld.

Does anybody know where I might find 'em???

Better yet, if they're a series of objects, what's the common name(s)???

Thanks a bunch in advance....Cheers for now everyone :-)

Patrick

Aug 8, 2002, 1:51am

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] I suppose I could give this a try, but I would need traffic lights which are
attached to an arm of a pole (especially for major intersections, which
there are PLENTY on the North & West sides of town).

Think SW City but further up North and West. In fact there's a series of
roads starting from Syntax' roads, which, if followed correctly, should put
you right on South Brookline Avenue, which runs along Hamsterville's East
side. Once on Brookline, just work your way West (Archuletta Street is an
EXCELLENT place to start heading West). Once you get up towards Zero East,
you'll see what I mean. :-)

Cheers for now everyone :-)

You need to go into TOOLS>OPTIONS>SEND and CHECK the box that says INCLUDE

that box is already checked or is somehow greyed out, then perhaps you may
need to re-install OE. You can do this via Windows Update.

At the risk of asking a foolish question, but is this an AlphaWorld build or

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] What town or world are they in or are they scattered???

Also, you should keep in mind that if you've been offline for a lengthy
period of time and your homes are on AlphaWorld and/or AWTeen or one of the
other many public building woprlds, chances are that someone (if not more
than one person) has probably built around your homes, thus making them less
recognizable if they're in an area that's now a town.

This is NOT a bad thing. In fact, it's a GOOD thing because wherever your
homes are, that/those town(s) now have a returning builder and property
owner. :-)

Good Luck in finding your homes. :-)

Hi everyone:

I sent this to AW Abuse, but just in case this bounces, here goes....

BEGIN PASTED MESSAGE:
=====================

I would like to report a sign which is apparently in violation of the
ActiveWorlds TOS. It is at 3442N 245E and was created by someone named
"King Of The Day". This sign advertises a PORN WEBSITE. The URL given
on the sign is http://www.pornotrap.com/ There is a build near that
sdign as well, but I can't tell if it's associated in any way with the
sign (A quick spot check of the build indicates it's NOT).

I tried going to the GET website to fill out a form, but apparently the
server must be down at the moment. I followed the link from the
AWcommunity.org website.

I have no vested interest either way in the apparent TOS violation, but
figured I should let someone know it exists out of respect for the
person who owns the adjacent build.

I figured you would want to know.... :-)

Hi everyone:

I think they kewords were.....


This should tell ANYONE that I tried to keep this OFF the newsgroups by going
to the GETG website. Could I have grammed Carol Clutter?? I suppose so. But
she's only ONE PK charged with the responsibility of keeping things in order on
a VERY LARGE AlphaWorld. By posting tro the newsgroups, it gets the attention
of MANY PKs at once.

Besides, a porn site on a newsgroup is just that as long as YOU have Net Nanny
*software* ON YOUR COMPUTER which DOES NOT make it clickable (you DO have "net
nanny" software, DO YOU?). NOT having it is just as bad as not having
Anit-Virus software.

Not to shift any blame as we all know the REAL blame falls squarely on the
person who put up that sign, but ISPs and other services such as ActiveWorlds
can only go so far to ensure that children don't visit porn sites. The rest is
up to you. This is where Net Nanny software comes in.

Having said all that, I'd just assume see this thing DROP LIKE A ROCK to the
bottom as everyone is WELL aware of the existence of this sign by now. :-)

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Hi everyone:

Thanks Elyk... :-)

Somehow I don't think DeDe is a PK, but rather just one of MANY people who own
their own little PRIVATE little world WHICH CONSUMES awi's BANDWIDTH for their
little kids to play around in. Many of these people could give a RATS MOO about
THE COMMUNITY and usually don't realize just what they REALLY have in
ActiveWorlds.

They ALSO don't read THE ENTIRE MESSAGE!!! Because IF DeDe DID, she would have
seen THIS....


However though, I can see it PAYS to have a few PKs on your Contact List as
people here are just too freakin' sensitive.

Maybe next time I run across a sign like that and can't reach the AwCommunity
website or send email, I'll just ignore it in the hopes that "the other guy"
will see it and DO SOMETHING about it.

Yeah...I think that's what I'll do.

And when someone comments on it and I tell 'em I knew it existed but did
nothing, I'll just simply laugh at their question as to why I never even did so
much as POST IT TO THE NEWSGROUPS because of the many CLUELESS readers who DO
NOT even bother to read THE WHOLE MESSAGE **BEFORE** JUMPIN' DOWN MY THROAT!!!!

I'll really earn points with the AWHS by doing this....

NOT!!!

In any case, thanks again for coming to my defense (even if you didn't
neccessarily agree with my using the newsgroups, which I didn't particularly
like the idea of either). It's because of people like you, Alphabit Phalpha, SW
Chris, and the rest of THE REGULARS around here who show at least SOME sense of
objectivity that REALLY make these groups worth reading. :-)

If everyone else could just do the same thing, the world would be a much ahppier
place.

Now, let's let this thing drop PLEASE......

Brant reads these NGs and hee's a PK. He just doesn't post very often. Dunno where

Scouser sent that URL to me in a telegram. I have since bookmarked the page. :-)

Duly noted for consideration, but not really needed at this time though. :-)
However, as SW Chris pointed out, the tension and the cynicism (sp?) is so thick in
this community, you can cut it with a knife (those are MY words in response to HIS
observations, which, at least for the most part, I agree with).

Though OTOH....I suppose I'm just as guilty as the next guy when it comes to
responses. To this end, I admit that much.

With that said...Cheers for now :-)
