>> You got access there cause I gave it to you, and I'm the one that will be doing the teaching…….
Paul, We are going to take this conversation over to the sysop section on the showcase forum. You got access there cause I gave it to you, and I'm the one that will be doing the teaching……. Delete your existing showcase forum favorite place stuff, and rejoin that forum. See…
Hi Joe, >> What we really need is a list of the committee members, their responsibilities and UID's so we can get the rest of the SC2K stuff set up in ASHOWCAS.
Sanford, The Autodesk ShowCase forum is up and running. Libraries are all set to receive uploads and have. And I would imagine that we'll be closing this particular message section sometime next week, or at least by the end of the month. What we really need is a list of…
Hi Sanford, > It's really up to Bob Henderson and Joe.
Jonas, If the Studio City 2000 forum #16 shuts down and is nested within the Ashowcase, I think it will be harder for brousers to find the city, but perhaps that would be good. As soon as we are set up for uploading I would like to consider moving all…
thanks Paul.
>> Is this message section traffic going to jump to ASHOWCASE soon? Now that StudioCity 2000 exists on ASHOWCASE, I image that this message area will be shutting down soon..
Mike, ASHOWCA or the Autodesk ShowCase forum opened Friday just one day behind the latest schedule. CIS has been jammed with new forums and getting them open. Section 8 and Library 22 have been set aside for StudioCity 2000. So I suggest that all discussions be transfered over to there,…
So it's ASHOWCASE…. Nice to hear it, tried ASHOW and SHOWCASE but got lost. HEY SYSOP: What about some NEWS ????? Michael
> I will do for sure, it's good to have Donald with you, I had the impression he's more realistic than the rest of the 'dreamers'. Sorry if anyone feels offended, but there has been a LOT of unnessecary babble, I mean, philosophy is fine, but for really get something…
Hi Paul, > Is this message section traffic going to jump to ASHOWCASE soon? Now that StudioCity 2000 exists on ASHOWCASE, I image that this message area will be shutting down soon..
Sheesh…Sanford, You're working online ???? Get one of the offline readers, most of the upgraded CIM's will work offline. No wonder your account was killing you.
Joe, Spell Checker. I sometimes use big words and I don't want to sit on line while I look them up. Donald N. said there is a spell checker available from the WINCIM forum. This is an automated world, after all. (g) I have gotten along for many years without…
Hi Don, >> Let me know if you would be open to a contribution,
>> Good to see someone's really got something going !
A spell checker ???? Sheesh….I dono??? I use a dictionary myself.
donald, WINCIM support? I have to go look. I will admit that I learn more than one thing new every day. Thanks. Sanford
I would love to see it. I am building more of the characters for "The Adventures of Randy and Pill" …Randy is the Roach and Mr. Mr. Pill is an intellectual pill bug. Lots of fun. They travel through New York.
Don, Having the ASHOW forum up will really make a big difference! Finnally we can start to look at what we have been talking about! However, there is still a lot of work to do, getting things ready for "habitation". Stay tuned! Look for uploads in the ASHOW forum in…
Sanford, > There is a WinCIM spell checker in the WinCIM Support Forum (FREE)! There are also tools there for managing your filing cabinet, printing threads and an interesting one for composing messages in Word for Windows. –Donald
Sanford, Paul did an incredible job using IK of making your roach climb the Autodesk "Empire State" building in his demo tape! –Donald
Joe, What did the elves say? "Hi ho, hi ho, its off to work we go" I have pick and shovel waiting to break ground in the Studio City turf along with my collegues. (How do I get a spell checker for on line answers?) Sanford

Message #152464
Hi Donald! Occasionally (sp?) even I like to come up from coding for air, and I see that the StudioCity 2000 is really coming along. Who should I contact to get more info/plans/status of the city? thanks, Don BlackBox
Don, ————————————————– Thanks! I'll ask Sanford K. ————————————————— If you were to condense and simplify the Charter what would you propose? I am thinking that the Charter needs to address: a) The StudioCity Mission (the essence of your Preamble) b) Rights (copyrights and commercialization) c) Government (voting, jobs, etc.) Separately,…
Don, All of us are going through a lot trying to make this Studio City project happen. It is such a grand concept that I can't walk away if there is a chance that we can really do it. I hope you, and many of the other great people who…
Sanford, Thanks for the reply, your sign-off seemed pretty final and decisive, so I thought I would ask just to be sure. Hope all is well with you as well. – Don
Actually, there was a short version of the Preamble but Sanford didn't like it. You might ask him if he still has it.
Good to see someone's really got something going ! Keep on Michael
Don, I am in if there is a place for our work (showcase)…I was just about to give up hope after many delays. Now things are getting rolling again, but minus a lot of the technical arguments that bogged it all down. Simplification and fun have become the catch words.…
Don, Hi! Right now, Sanford and I are trying to pull together a beta Studio City "Release Package" including: a) revised and simplified Charter b) City Plan c) Modeling Standards d) StudioCity Newsletter If you would like to help out in any of these departments, please respond here or drop…
I thought I would pick the most recent message with your name on it and ask how things were going. John Ellis indicated to me that you were making a valiant effort at keeping track of the goings on. I'm still lurking and modeling, so let me know what's in…
I was browsing through the section again and caught your message about "Main Street"; if I'm still allowed to show my face around here 🙂 I'd be curious to hear more. Let me know if you would be open to a contribution, I'm still intrigued by the concept of a…
I was stopping back in to see how things were going and caught your "Another Farewell" message from the 9th, then I read this thread from the 10th. So, are you in or out? More than anything I was just curious; for myself, I have used the time I've been…
Joe, Thanks for coming forward. Nobody wants to see this project go away. It has always been a high priority and I will participate happily. Finding some way to upload is priority number one. Sanford
Bob, Studio City Closed? No, the Studio City project is not closed. I was just pulling back until there was somewhere to put it. All the signs pointed to never getting the project off the ground, so we were going to do it ourselves privately. Perhaps now….with the Showcase open,…
Sanford, The flag was requested from Jan 6 to Feb 6 as the new forum was to be opened by the 1st of February. When the new forum opens, we will be requesting flags for the control group of StudioCity at that time or shortly after.
BH to SK>> I'm sorry you [Sanford Kennedy] have decided to stop the Studio City 2000 project, > I'm also sorry that you feel there wasn't enough support for the project, when we set up a message area for it, and arranged for a message area and library in an…
I'm sorry you have decided to stop the Studio City 2000 project, and I apologize for the delays in opening the new forum, but, sometimes delays are unavoidable. I'm also sorry that you feel there wasn't enough support for the project, when we set up a message area for it,…
Please do check in from time to time. There will be a collaborative project (Main Street) within a few weeks in the Showcase StudioCity section. It would be great to have some of your work in there. No reason you can't go ahead with any ideas you have, design your…
#Another Farewell
Message #151902
Dear friends, It has become obvious that the Studio City forum is now dormant, or should I say, has been allowed to die? A few people are dropping in, but not enough to get anything done. It was a good dream, but with no homeland or suport from the forum…
To sysop, Well, I guess I have been fooling myself. The "free flag" is now gone, and I'm back on full charges for this forum. Well, I got it for 6 days. Thanks. I think someone should explain why Asoft still has not supported this forum with the green light…
Sanford, That would be nice… I was just thinking that the "Space Port" or the "Park" could be places to cluster portals… –Donald
#COMMERCIALIZATION
Message #151745
Since my last message I have talked to CIS about the issue of the "free flag" They tell my that the free flag did not go into effect until Jan 10, 1995. So that means it was operative for 6 days before they billed me. So according to them I…
Paul, Main street sounds good…a nice little town. The animation of my roach..i've never seen it. Did you post it in animations? Or could you send me a tape? Sounds fun. Sanford
Hi Sanford, >> just make the rules and I will build within them.
Paul, Push on, Paul! I'm with you. I was stung by the difficulty in getting the charter or anything else agreed upon, so …once burnt, twice shy….but if you want to do a city with your own rules…I'm in…just make the rules and I will build within them. I here…
Donald, I would like to see the space port visible from the main city…sort of like the city of the Wizzard of Oz is ….down at the end of the yellowbrick road… Sanford
