I am happy to annouce that the newsgroups are back. The news server software
had a bug that seemed to make all post dissapear. I would do a rebuild_piles
and they would be back but only for a few hours then they would dissapear
again. Dnews finally fixed the bug and we should be up and running for good
(Fingers crossed). I would also like to annouce the addition of a new group.
This group is called general.diiscussion and is for just that, general
discussion. I know some of you will still flame users for postings that you
deem off topic anyway but remember you can still flame for bad grammer and
typos!

In order to provide our customers with better service we will be moving most
of our servers to a new location over the next few weeks. During the next
few days some worlds and or universes may be temporarily unavailable while
they are stopped on the main server and started on the backup server. Once
we have the main server in the new location we will transfer the worlds and
universes back to the main server. Most of these moves will go unnoticed
except for the move of the world AW. This will require that all new building
be shut down for a day while the database is moved. This will take place on
Thursday 03/21/02 and AW should be back open to building sometime on
03/22/02. The move back to the main server will take place in the first
weeks of April, exact date to be announced later. As always if you have any
problems connecting to any of our services please send a detailed email to
support at activeworlds.com

The universes will only be down for a short period on Friday, other worlds
besides AW will not have the building shut down, they will just go off line
over the next few days. Some of the larger worlds such as AWteen will be
offline longer than others.

We are more than happy to say. All you had to do was ask. :) The new
location is in Boston and is going to be fed bandwidth by Internap
http://www.internap.com They will be providing us with two 100mbps feeds
intelligently routed through 9 backbone carriers. We anticipate better
connectivity worldwide for world servers as well as end clients. Please
visit their website for more information on their P-NAPSM.

We host alot more than just the AW universe. The actual usage is alot less
but at times may spike very high. The reason for the two connects is for
redundancy.

Just a heads up that we will be moving the universe back to the main server
tomorrow. AW world will be closed to building for the next 12 hours or so
while we move the database. Most other AW hosted world have already been
moved. Some world servers hosted by others than AW may need to be restarted
after the universe move.

Thanks

We will be expanding the beta user base next week. If you would like to join
the beta program for version 3.4 of the AW software please send an email to
bill at activeworlds.com with the subject line "I wanna be in the beta!" along
with the following information.

1. Citizen number.

2. System specs. (OS, CPU Speed, Memory, Video Card, Sound Card, Connection
speed, Ect.)

3. Names of other software you have beta tested.

4. Any other qualifications that you think would help you to be a good beta

Please note that although I might not reply to all beta applications I will
read and consider all of them. By sending in an application you may be added

WILL have bugs. If you do not wish to be an active beta tester by posting
beta reports to the beta newsgroup ONLY and are not
willing to put up with bugs, numerous upgrades and possible loss of data DO
NOT send in an application.

Thank you

Activeworlds has created a removal tool that will attempt to remove the
trojan known as AWtoolkit from your computer. Please note that if your
computer was compromised with this trojan other changes may have been made
including the installation of other trojans. This tool only removes the
AWToolkit that we have tested as of Tuesday July 22nd. Other modified
versions may have been released since then. The code signed removal tool is
located here
