AHHH!!! eep is gone!!! here is what his site says:



11/9/99: This site is down in protest to the Active Worlds (AW)
newsgroups being down for over 3 weeks now with no word from
Activeworlds.com, Inc.
(AWCI). Rumours abound, from lack of funds (perhaps a lack of
citizenship renewals--like mine--gave a much needed kick-in-the-ass
wake-up call to AWCI) to
keep the newsgroup servers up, to "technical problems". An email to AW
support a couple weeks ago resulted in typical PR bullshit: "soon". In
the meantime,
City4All (another AW universe) has a new AWCommunity newsgroup.

I apologize if this causes you any convienence. Feel free to email Rick
Noll, JP, Roland, any/or any other AWCIer to voice your irritation with
their management.

11/11/99: Despite the newsgroups coming back on-line, they are now
protected from posting by requiring a valid AW citizen name/password. I
am now protesting
this as I feel this makes AW seem like an elite so-called "community"
instead of the freer, less governmental "Big Brother"like tyranny it
seems to be turning into more
and more with each new "policy" AWCI enacts. I am no longer an AW
citizen and so far have no regrets; in fact, I feel freer and less
subject to AWCI tyranny. I'm
moving on, basically. Anyway, this site will stay down until I feel AWCI
treats the community (citizens and tourists) with more respect. Once
again, I apologize if this
causes you any convienence, but hopefully through your frustration you
will voice your concerns to AWCI who will hopefully get a clue as to how
to more
respectfully deal with their customers, potential customers, and users
of AW.


and just when i need his site the most... what should we do about it?

i think the newsgroups are like this because awci just wants another way
to make people get a cit... right now tourists cant post messages. :-(

what you could do is just make a picture with the same background texture as
whatever you are putting it over and put it on a pict object, just create animate
me awd8. 1 1 0 it and you wont see the frame.
