Has any of the AWI's public building world ever received an increase in its
size? In other word, one world might be upgraded from, um, P-1000 to P-2000.
I only know of AWTeen that has received its increase in world size. If that
is the only world ever to have received an upgrade in its size, then may I
ask why is that? So far I haven't seen other world than AWTeen receiving an
increase in world size. COFMeta, Mars, Yellow, Colony Alpha, and et cetera
are becoming congested. They may become full in a few years or so or are
probably already full. I am only expressing my concern. As far as I know,
the Alphaworld and AWTeen appeared to be less congested to me in term of
percentage of the world being built up. But I get an impression that other
world are becoming fully congested and therefore yields no available space
or lack enough spaces to accompanies future building activity. And also the
relatively small size of these world may be motivation for lack of or less
building activity in there, since people simply prefer to have as much as
land as they care to (um, maybe this part of sentence after comma needs
rephrasing? O_o). Anyway, have a good day.

http://www.activeworlds.com/worlds/cofmeta/

Why does this page provide a link to COFMeta object library at
http://objects.activeworlds.com/meta/ ? The link led to "access denied"
error or similar to that. Either update page to remove link, open up the
object path directory, or at least provide us with the object registry list.
It would be unreasonably stupid to leave it as "it is". Update it! Is
COFMeta directory the only one giving us error? Is Mars and Yellow affected
as well? And I'm not sure that object yard at 50s 5e 90 is much updated or
at least has all objects. O_o

Um, that isn't possible. That's because they don't usually added features in
beta. It is supposed to be pre-planned before going into open beta. I get
the impression from my history with Active Worlds in open beta from 2.0 or
2.1 (can't remember which one it was) to present 3.5 that new features are
never added during open beta and so it is probably a standard. I doubt they
will do implementing the feature of bigger cell data limit until next major
version (whether it be 3.6, 4.0, or whatever the next version it is). Once a
version goes into open beta, no more features will be added. Anyway, that's
the impression I get from my Active Worlds past.

I think it might be possible that the media feature was decided on for
implementation in 3.6 largely because of two factors: corporate customers'
demand (which is always a highest priority than home users for AWI or so Eep
and others claimed and I'm not sure if that is true or not but I guess it
is) and the rapid development of radio/television broadcasting industry,
further accelerated by the "free enterprise" competition within it, in
Active Worlds. Example of these rapid development of that industry are the
growth of numbers of stations in both of these media such as ABN
(television), AWVR (Radio), VWTV (television), and many others competing for
their listeners/viewers, even though they don't make money from it but the
concept of free enterprise still applies. So there's another bad news for
communism. ;)

That isn't new. It has been in AW for a while. Not a new thing. I don't know
when it was actually first implemented but it's certainly not 3.6 feature.

I just got an email from someone named Marcus W with a question regarding AW
3.6. I couldn't answer his question since I'm not exactly an expert on that
subject so I asked him if I can post his question here so that you folks can
answer and he said yes, so you can answer this question. Here is the copy:

Hello,

It is great to see streaming being added to AW. I was curious how this
would be achieved. If someone puts stream A in location 1, and another
stream B in location 2, is there a way to keep stream A going and not cause
an interruption when someone moves from location 1 to 2? Vice versa, if
someone goes to location 2 first is there a way to make sure they can still
hear the stream without another stream interrupting?

It's a great idea to add streaming but I see a lot of soft spots. Would it
be possible to have like a headphone feature where a user could listen to 1
constant stream, which they would select at GZ, and this would override any
other stream assignments? (Like someone listening to a headset on a bus,
train, car, etc... )

Guys, guys. I am warning you all. If you don't stop these flaming wars, you

end NOW. I'm tired of your whining and flames. You must keep it off
newsgroup. Do it in telegrams or emails or whatever but do not flames or
whine in this newsgroup. This must be kept clean. If you keep it up, I may
complain to E N Z O and ask him to shut down this newsgroup. I can promise
you that I will personally do that. I do not tolerate these flaming wars in
this newsgroup. Now, end this flaming war now and move it over to somewhere
else. If you don't, well, you know what I may do to take steps to end this
stupid, blatant thing. I'm sorry but I'm now fed up with all of your stupid
flaming and whining. I will complain to and ask him to shut this newsgroup
down if you don't move it somewhere. This is your warning.

Doesn't matter. Keep these private matters off the newsgroup. It's private.
We don't want to heard it. I don't care if you think the newsgroup is the
place to do that. This is public newsgroup, not a place to take private
matters to. I don't give a shit about these problems you have with Seiya.
This is not a place to discuss your personal problem with someone else. I
don't care about your personal problem with others. Now, though, I might
soften and ask E N Z O personally to delete this thread. But next time you
flame in another thread again, I can and will ask E N Z O to shut down the
newsgroup. Anyway, I will ask you to end these flames. Plus, these flames
are in direct violation of the Conduct Guidelines and the Code of Conduct
for Newsgroup (I can't remember the correct or exact title but do know that
it strictly prohibits the flames). By the way, I'm sorry but I do read every
posts and I don't care if you advise me to ignore it, I WILL read every
posts. I just don't have to put up with these flaming shits.

But not in the near or immediate future, though, considering their price
proved unaffordable to larger group of folks who really need to manage money
during the time of an economic recession. Besides, I think you're looking at
the U.S. demographics instead of international demographics. The broadband
is considerably more expensive elsewhere than in the U.S. largely due to
strong American dollars (not sure why its strong or something like that).
The non-American folks has and will remain a significant demographic group
in Active Worlds and elsewhere on the internet, no matter how much
significance you think it has. Anyway, that's my observation as an American
in reading almost thousands of conversation in newsgroups. :)

My fellow Active Worlds citizen,

The media command has created a whole new opportunity for our existing
broadcasting industry in the Active Worlds. It will most likely further
fuels the development of the fast-growing industry. It has created new
opportunities for everyone else as well. A new medium to enjoy so much, it's
like when television has switched from black and white to color. It
introduces a new dimension to the world we now lives in (virtually). It is
perhaps one of the greatest innovation ever done in the Active Worlds,
beside others in the past.
We now have various kinds of media to choose, more than ever before,
including radio, television, newspaper (on the Web anyway), and others. It
will be seen as one of the biggest changes ever made to our (virtual) life
that we knew before in AW. But now, our (virtual) life will be different.
The vision is not done yet, though. There's more to come. What will be
the next? To quote President Bartlet from a television show called "West
Wing", we say "What's next?"
We now live in the new century, the 21st century. The century of the
future, where the freedom, boldness, and innovative spirits take over the
world from the old order of the 20th century. The 21st century granted us a
greater 'newfound' freedom in the virtual world whereas 20th century do not.
Welcome to the "brave new world."
Congratulations, you are in the new world no one has ever gone to
before. Media or not, it is just the beginning of the entirely new virtual
world (or reality).

Sincerely,
Legion
Chairman of Rockford Township, Phin County, Alphaworld

P.S. Tried to make this writing grammatically correct because Eep is back in
Active Worlds newsgroups but I sucks lol. My apologies for any kinds of
errors you may see here. I tried to express my vision of the Active World's
future as best as I can but that's all I can get. Please feel free to let me
know of any errors and corrections I may need. Especially you, Eep. ;) My

Ok, what's up with Activeworlds Inc.? They are wasting their times and money
on trying to fix the NewAW that is already broken. They aren't giving Active
Worlds browser enough time to develop it further. Neither did they stick to
their promises to implement object additions to Alphaworld's object library,
which was belated. Someone once said, "If it's broken, don't fix it." I say
it's time for Activeworlds Inc. to shifts their focus to something else,
like Active Worlds browser and Alphaworld. It's time for Activeworlds Inc.
to stop wasting their time on mindlessly fixing NewAW, which they failed to
fix major bugs there. It's been years since it was first created and it
still hasn't been fixed so that means it's broken, not workable. It's waste
of valuable and precious time and money. From this point now, I'll leave it
to Eep and others to complain about.

You don't know Jetta Lewis? He was one of the regular posters in this
newsgroup from time to time so I find it hard to believe that you don't know
him. He was also a prominent citizen in Active Worlds, having founded the
America world, many of the worlds based on individual worlds like Utah (Eep
has earlier mentioned it in his website about it since he was offered to run
it but it somehow closed for some reason), and finally a few universes such
as America. Jetta Lewis was a quite busy person in the Active Worlds and its
related stuffs. Jetta Lewis was therefore a prominent citizen who is known
by masses of the Active Worlds. Besides, he has been here for the long time
so I find it hard to believe you have failed to have known him. He is one of
the finest public citizen in the Active Worlds. In fact, Activeworlds Inc.
has already agreed to take over the America world if anything happened to
Jetta Lewis (as was mentioned in earlier post in the newsgroup but it
unfortunately had bad reception, leading to flame wars). As the flame wars
went on after the earlier post about Activeworlds Inc. agreement with Jetta
Lewis, with the misunderstanding as the main cause of the flame wars, I
already understood quickly after reading that post that an agreement was
done, opposite of what flamers claimed. Now, I have encountered a pathetic
reply to Jetta Lewis's post announcing the VR Rome. Rossyboy, I think you
really know Jetta Lewis. He is hard to miss these days on this newsgroups or
any of media. He is a prominent citizen, after all. But for now, I'm done
with my writing on this subject. I have other business to attends to, among
them being running a town network, being too busy to deal with this matter.
I'll leave this matter to you and Jetta Lewis. Anyway, have a good evening.

Legion
