BRO: ZeRo you have been in AW for how many years?
ZeRo: Yes I have been here for actually just under two years.
BRO: I want to thank you for taking the time to perhaps fill in a few holes in the history of the world, JaXk and how Postland came to be
ZeRo: Sure not a problem.

BRO: You were one of first people to notice things going wrong in the world JaXk. ZeRo how did you come meet JaXk and go to that world?
ZeRo: I was one of the first citizens recruited by him.
I was an American citizen at the time, and I was just hanging about in America, My Science Fiction American Gallery had been built at that time.


BRO: Ah I see so you saw all the people come and go in that world?
ZeRo: I saw most of the people come and go, yes.

BRO: Who was the next few people to come to JaXk?
ZeRo: Annie H, jdonley and a few more. It has been a while now.

BRO: I do understand about time and how things get forgotten.
Annie H was there early on, really? She did not stay long right?
ZeRo: She came off and on, but after JaXk started to crack, I think she figured things out. (Editors Note: Truth is she was a PK checking on JaXk)

BRO: What about Mack Daddy what do you know of him?
ZeRo: Not much, I think he may have been one of JaXk' hires.


BRO: As you know many of the people there were using accounts that JaXk got by fraud. What can you say about how he did that
BRO: ZeRo what was your fist tip off that something had gone wrong there?
ZeRo: Very easy, I came back twice and everything in the world build by us or our citizens was deleted.

ZeRo: Fraud, I don't know about that, I would say he was using multiple accounts
BRO: Credit fraud was how he was able to give away so many accounts.
ZeRo: I also maybe suspect he was manipulating people into having their passwords.
BRO: Yes he did some of that too!
ZeRo: It wasn't good.

BRO: ZeRo tells me about what happened to your web page
ZeRo: One day I went to my Science Fiction American Gallery and all the pictures were gone. I went to my website and it had been hacked and someone had left a very nasty message there. I suspected it had been Jaxk because when I was working with him, we had exchanged passwords.
BRO: Yes some very foul and untrue things were said about you on that page. Ah I see now how he must have been the one to do that to you.
ZeRo: It was obvious to me, but it was my own fault for trusting him. I guess the X-files adage is right, "Trust No One". (Zero laughs out loud.)

BRO: ZeRo, back at that time jdonley and I were new to AW and didn't understand much of the workings of the program. There were even times we would think Jaxk was posing as one of us. One time I think we even thought you might have been JaXk.
ZeRo: Yes, he caused quite a bit of paranoia. He was quite devious
I don't think that he was ever any of us, though I am not sure. After things were falling apart, I know he did pose as many other people.
BRO: Yes and he used young kids to help him trick people. How many people do you really think JaXk was?
ZeRo: He could have been many. I think he had multiple systems running at once.
I think he had many PC's. He used many accounts, credit fraud from AW, perhaps some others, and ours. I tried having COF track him down somehow.
I was very irate for quite some time.


BRO: Yes what about Duxpond where did he fit into the deal?
ZeRo: I didn't know Duxpond well. There were a few people I steered clear of.

BRO: His account followed me to Postland and I had trouble with a Mikie using that account.
ZeRo: I can believe that.

BRO: If I remember right you were not at the final night when we all trapped him JaXk and he posed as three or more people there in the meeting?
ZeRo: Yes I was, and he left the world in my hands. He said if I could save JaXk I could have it. Because of all the friends I had there and my building and my friends building I wanted to save it, but I couldn't I was very messed up about. : O ( I tried to contact COF and everyone about it, it was a very bad time.


BRO: You know the name Bud Everett from Springfield Missouri kept popping up as we tracked the ISP?
ZeRo: I didn't know this.

BRO: You know he also gave blur a copy of the world files the last night?
BRO: When the website is done there will many pages of chat from that time right at the fall of JaXk.

BRO: You know blur and I ran every citizen number and the amount of fake and bad accounts is hard to understand. Even Roland was not happy about all the server time it took to do the numbers check.
ZeRo: I don't know how blur did all that? It was astounding and kind of mind-boggling at the time.
ZeRo: I tried to contact COF and everyone about it, it was a very bad time.

BRO: Do you think I might ever track JaXk down for an interview?
ZeRo: I think he may be still here. I don't know if he has a world
I don't know what he does, but I think form time to time he is here.

BRO: Many people were hurt and some even left AW for a long while. In the last days Skyee and I would go to AW and make lots for the coming city Postland. ZeRo JaXk came to Postland one time and begged me to come back help run his world. It was just a few days before he left forever.
ZeRo: I don't think he left forever, it is sad how many people were manipulated and tricked by him. I had to disassociated from it all.
I was very angry, though I made some good friends in the end.
BRO: Yes even if JaXk took hours of our time and lots of money from COF we all found good people on JaXk
ZeRo: I lost so much time there and money, just because I was dial up at the time
BRO: Wow you do have a big loss.

BRO: You were one of the smarts ones
ZeRo: Thanks. I had warned so many people and a lot didn't listen. I mean I can't blame them, new world nice guy etc, but they learned.
BRO: Yes blur and 1angel were the last ones to leave
ZeRo: Yes Blur and angel didn't seem to get it.
ZeRo: That saddened me.
ZeRo: I helped JaXk rebuild that world from Scratch to "finish over and over, I think three times.
BRO: Me too, three times I did a rebuild.

BRO: I went with 1angel to delete her stuff and JaXk caught us there that was quite a night:)
ZeRo: He was a real edgy guy. Hehe
He could try to pull you in or just brush you off.
I questioned his mental state many times.

BRO: Can you remember some of the other names he used
ZeRo: No I can't recall.
BRO: He did admit that more than person used his account in the last meeting
ZeRo: Yes, I think he did admit friends had been using it.
ZeRo: He tried to use that excuse for the constant problems.
ZeRo: Either way if that was the case, he wasn't responsible at all to give people that access.

BRO: I hope you will have time to look over some of the interviews and chats as they come on line.
ZeRo: I would like to see the old logs, They would bring back a lot of memories not all good ones, but I learned from them all.


BRO: There was some big fight he had with Jetta Lewis done you know about that?
ZeRo: No I didn't but I did know he was supper impressed when Jetta had come to JaXk when we had opened
BRO: He was mad for some reason that Jetta got more world space than he I think did
ZeRo: hehe
ZeRo: Jetta I am sure has more money

BRO: You know Roland came one night while Skyee and I were the greeters and got all upset that world cell limit was set at huge
BRO: Back then I didn't understand the world settings
ZeRo: I didn't either but I did learn a lot from him about worlds
BRO: I can remember how slow it was to move there and showed me now that I know more JaXk was not a great world builder
ZeRo: he didn't know anything when he came in we was learning together and some others were teaching him
BRO: AS you know now all the animates and objects he used slowed it down so much

BRO: One time he had 32 people in the world
ZeRo: He was always pumping to max it out always striving for that.
BRO: There really seemed to be a sickness of some sort with him about getting more people in the world did you notice? Why was that?
ZeRo: Ego perhaps, maybe he was lonely and wanted friends.
ZeRo: I am not sure, but yes the strain to have it all was getting to him.
I don't get it! Take what you have, if you are good more will come.


BRO: Yes he did have a sexual side to him also?
ZeRo: Yes hehe he liked the ladies was very kind to them
BRO: He promised them lots but just hurt them in the end a very cruel thing he
ZeRo: no one was safe, I do recall he found one special lady
I can't remember her name though

BRO: Out of that world came many great people world owners like you and CY award winners like blur so all was not bad. Do you know I know over six worlds that now are around because of the start people got there?
ZeRo: That's great it helped a lot of people to learn all bad stuff like that helps us to grow

BRO: Zero some of the people that have homes in Postland are jdonley, Skyee, Strez, 1angel and even Wolfman showed up one day and got a lot but then he was gone again. Yes and Honey, Aphrodite come there.


ZeRo: Wow I didn't know! I know you offered me a home there
and I never took it. I was just in America the whole time with my Science Gallery. Sorry I didn't take the offer. I will have to visit soon.
BRO: Well you still can have a lot anytime .
ZeRo: o)) "A LOT" yes I have a lot lol thanks though I would be happy to come and be there.
BRO: I know running a world takes a lot time and lots are small but as a part of history you may just want one
ZeRo: I do: o)
ZeRo: I loved the people I worked with in JaXk they were and are still the best
BRO: Yes the greatest thing about JaXk was the way the people joined together to try over and over just like in the real world we wish people would
ZeRo: I remember in the midst of all that hell at the peak of it all, JaXk tellyed me and said, "hey man, let loose come with me on this roller coaster"
ZeRo: yes I wish people too would get together and just be good and help each other.
BRO: Yes he was trying to drag other people to go with him to start over with new names in the end: (
ZeRo: yeah it was all so bad; o (
ZeRo: Man so many people asked me about him, and I warned and warned again, I would go to JaXk and pop in, and they would be there. : O (I would just think suckers. Little do they know?
BRO: I want to tell you that people come here wanting to build you can send them to Postland. I know how having a world with too small to allow others to build tears at your heart. It is the same on AzureSky
ZeRo: I know! If someday I can and it is feasible, I will expand Y2000 and other people will be able to build here.
BRO: I would love to see you start a real world like JaXk should have been:)
ZeRo: I would too man. JaXk had so much promise but he blew it big time

BRO: Well if you have people come needing a place to build they may just fit into Postland.:)
ZeRo: I will send them to Postland and even a link to there.

ZeRo: BRO you have always been the best person to shine through this all. Have you won a CY award yet?
BRO: I have not tried to really. COF and I have a love-hate type affair.
COF refused to listen to us when we tried to help them about JaXk. They said we were crazy in so many words. It cost them dearly
ZeRo: Yes COF didn't help much I called them personally a couple of times. I don't think they got the scale of it.
ZeRo: Hehe, I think I knew that. Although they could use this and other interviews about this affair in their history books although a lot was happening, I think the JaXk affair was a big part of this history
BRO: Yes but it is a big part they would like to forget.
ZeRo: Lol, naw I have read the early papers about AW they had in the early days a rebellion.

BRO: Well let me tell you this
ZeRo: Ok go ahead.
BRO: If you add JaXk to you contact list you will see he is still there.
ZeRo: EEK
BRO: The reason is COF never wants anyone to use that name again
BRO: There was a just a JAX from Jacksonville, FL but he left after people questioned him one too many times.
ZeRo: Hehe, poor guy that is one cursed name.
BRO: Yes the poor guy never knew that using a name even close too JaXk could cause him so much trouble. lol
ZeRo: Hehe!

ZeRo: I did learn a lot from JaXk though a lot I implied here Y2000.

BRO: After JaXk you did vanish for a while what happened?
ZeRo: After JaXk I laid low Changed my name to dmonix for a bit and moved to Japan world No one was there and no one talked to me. I build a small place there I think it may be still there lol. I didn't want to have anything to do with a lot of people here for a while. But I love active worlds and I cannot leave. I remember jdonley and his wife used to come and visit while I was building in Japan world he changed his name. Jdonley and a lot of people from there were good people.


BRO: Were you ever a PK?
ZeRo: Yeah for about 10 min
BRO: Really?
ZeRo: No a bit longer, it was funny, another zero applied and they contacted me
I went to the interview and in the interview we found out the mix-up.
But they let me do it anyhow when I got the job; I also got a new job in real time and had to resign.

BRO: Cyberwitch built a church in Postland like the one on JaXk
ZeRo: That church was so kewl.
ZeRo: I must go and see Postland.


BRO: I hope to track them all down the good the bad and well
ZeRo: yes get the bad hehehe
ZeRo: I would love to hear their side to this.

BRO: After the interview came to Postland and looked around for a few hours. He said he would be coming back. By the way go check out his new world Y2000 yes someday it maybe the world that JaXk should have been.
