Interview with Lorri Doll Sun Jan 31, 1999 4:19 PM



BRO: lorri doll I want to thank you for helping with the history of Postland.
lorri doll: sure ... what ever I can do for you

BRO: As you know Postland formed as the world Jaxk was going down for it's final time. Would you share what those times were like from your view as much as you can? It was a painful time for us all.
lorri doll: Hmmm it was a confusing time for all of us that was involved
We all left that world not being able to trust anyone online like we did when we had entered it

BRO: Did you know about the all the land being claimed here before Jaxk went down?
lorri doll: Not until the very end of it, jdonley had brought me here and was showing me around here.

BRO: Ah very good . You had a lot hard times because of Jaxk. Didn't you go off and hide for quite some time ?
lorri doll: Yeah for a little while it all seems so distant to me now
I changed my name and kind of started over again.

BRO: Could you tell me why you think people like Jaxk do the things they do?
lorri doll: I think that with Jaxk it was out of boredom and lack of a real life that made him do the things that he did.

BRO: What do you think about the new Version AW will that be helpful to PK?
lorri doll: I have mixed feelings about the beta2.1 ... I really like the quickness and convenience of the "whisper" feature
yet it is starting to cause a lot of unneeded harassment. A citizen can enter as a tourist and still send whispers, it allows them to send private messages with out identifying who they are.
BRO: Hmm that will slow down Citizen joining :(
lorri doll: Yeah I am afraid of that ...
BRO: The file sending is very handy but also the danger of new people getting virus is more now.
lorri doll: Yes I agree a small file is able to slip through the file transfer with out any knowledge!

BRO: What do think about PK and GK becoming paying jobs?
lorri doll: I think that it would be a great step for COF or AW... to make Pk's GK's a paying position with regular working schedules
lorri doll: It would make this place a lot more organized and enjoyable

BRO: I would also like to see the changing of names slowed down in some way to protect people.
lorri doll: I agree it takes a little while for you to choose a nickname but after you get comfortable with one you should have to lock it in I know some that chat here that has 4-5 accounts!

BRO: Postland has only had 2 times when People tried to do real harm here.
One time a hacker was banned from AW thanks to good work of PK force and me keeping good logs. As you know the way a log can save the day. I remember how you were the one to use a log to bring out the truth about Jaxk and his evil plans.:)
lorri doll: I am so much more knowledgeable now than I was then ... I wish that I could kind of do it all over again.

BRO: Me two Lorri I would not have had to build the old warehouse 3 times.
lorri doll: Haha You most likely would had anyway because you would had kept finding some fault in it *s*
BRO: Well really there is a copy of that first warehouse here in Postland. (smiles)

BRO: Do you know Jaxk came to Postland in final days and begged me to come back ?
lorri doll: to JaXk?
BRO: Yes he said "please BRO come back I have reformed and the world will never be deleted again." 4 days later he was gone for good
lorri doll: He tried to tell me that someone had hacked into his account and that everything that had been done was not his fault.
lorri doll: I really don't worry much about if he is in AW and what he is doing now. You know that he is probably lurking some where in here though
BRO: I keep an eye out for him but much of hurt is gone and I am too busy training ours to worry about him now
lorri doll: Yeah... I have too much going on for the good online to worry about him much =)

BRO: I do know that he will never call himself JaXk again because Activeworlds keeps that name locked up.
lorri doll: really?
BRO: Yes just add him to your contact list . You will never see a green light there again
lorri doll: that's good ... it is only a name though lol
BRO: Yes but sometimes our name is we have in AW.
lorri doll: Yep that's true. Everyone seems to know Me by name at GZ and around AW ... it would really be sad if I was to loose my name


BRO: His use of fake credit cards cost AW lots of money
BRO: Lorri would you care to say anything else about Postland and your feelings. We look forward to you building here soon .:)
lorri doll: I feel that You guys have really done a fantastic job with this place ... and that I am sure that it has only just begun to see good that it will achieve for AW. =)
