What are some features we would like to see for 3.3, if one ever comes out?
Jun 24, 2001, 10:58pm
hmm, last time I tried to post this, it didn't work. Ill try again. I know
that when you register with aw by mail, you must remit the check to a
Newburyport address. Is that where the Activeworld headquarters is located?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

how did you fill a 70 gig hard drive in a matter of weeks?
May 21, 2001, 3:47am
If I can offer one more tip? He kinda hit it with #7, but I would like to
expand on it a little... I think that if you have town rules, keep them
very simple. If you have many complex rules, i.e. building rules, you will
be hard pressed during the enforcement of them. Good points Comit..
May 21, 2001, 3:14am
just testing this out...
May 21, 2001, 3:15am
okay good it works! I can finally post!
May 21, 2001, 10:25am
Okay, thanks. Ill look them over. I've seen agent fox mulder before in
awgz, the others I haven't. I just look at it this way. Ill be cool with
people that are cool to me. I am low stress, and very chill. See you
around man..
May 21, 2001, 3:18am
come visit my humble city, Yosemiteville.... Located in aw at 6000s 13500e.
thanks and hope you like it..
May 21, 2001, 2:53pm

I have a quick question.. does it mean anything particular when someone
prefaces their post with [NGS] or other variations? Thanks in advance.
May 26, 2001, 1:31am
okay thanks.
May 27, 2001, 5:39pm
I tried that, but it would not work for me, I have to d/c with the browser
open the reconnect
May 26, 2001, 5:08pm
Actually, my favorite is the alphaworld mapper, www.vevo.com
May 26, 2001, 7:13pm
How exactly does the pricing scheme work in your town, or is it $350 per
lot?
Thanks in advance
May 29, 2001, 3:25pm
Last night, I was building, but aw was acting like I was trying to build
while not connected to the internet. I would build the object, but the
object would disappear right after I did.. No BI messages or anything. I
exited and reopen aworld and I found the many copies of the object that I
was trying to make. I guess what it was is I was making the objects, but
aw could not tell they were there. I thought that was kind of strange so I
figured I would mention here.
Thanks.
May 29, 2001, 10:46pm
The most likely cause of this problem was Internet lag, and a bad connection
between yourself and our servers, a router may of gone down and the update
packets were taking longer to get to you than usual....it happens...
That makes sense, I do use a 56k modem that really acts like a 28-33k modem,
however this is the first time experiencing this problem.
Get a T1 or DSL :)
Oh you better believe I would if I could, however my current situation does
not allow me to connect to the internet by any other means than a phone
line.
Thanks for your answer

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/sulfnbk.exe.warning.html
Some guy is going around aw spreading this hoax. I saw him at awgz, and I
am sure he has been in other worlds as well. Pretty much he (or she) tells
you that the file called sulfnbk.exe is a virus and must be deleted from
your hard drive or your hard drive will be bombed.
My proof that this is a hoax can be found on the link above. Have a nice
day.
May 30, 2001, 11:45pm
Oh yeah, one cit that is spreading the rumor is one named 'Bunny Baby'
May 31, 2001, 2:33am
I aint the rumor patrol. Just some guy trying to look out for others.
May 31, 2001, 2:34am
I agree with you now, but I wasn't sure at first.
Jun 3, 2001, 6:06am
Why are people so hostile here? I just like to chill but there is nothing
but fighting here...
Jun 5, 2001, 3:14pm
Actually, I think this one is pretty tame compared to many I've seen.
Jun 3, 2001, 1:46pm
does anyone know if the gurus in aw plan on expanding alpha world?
Jun 21, 2001, 1:08am
What happened?
Jul 2, 2001, 11:15am
What does everyone consider a low cit number? What is the upper low cit
number threshold?
Jul 9, 2001, 2:50pm
I don't think he was directing it at you, I think it was more a reflection
on his view of a community where you have to put that type of stuff.
