Yea me too. Especially when you count all the mods you can get for games
like BF1942 for example which are commonly several hundred megs, and then
mirrored on several websites....and just about all songs, video, or any form
of media is on the internet, plus mirrored.

Maybe 23 PB if you don't include programs (.zip, .exe, .rar, etc) and huge
videos.

And btw I hate Microsoft but I like their product, Windows. Is there a good
reason I should hate their product because I hate the company? I don't

I played around with Bryce for awhile. It's getting dated, but it can still
do some nice scenes. The following pics are for framed pictures in builds

I dunno about you guys, but that right there floored me. That's just pure
unacceptable and lazy. Isn't this their job?

And it probably explains why Alphaworld never sees any new objects if AWI is
that scared to change the registry. Are they all n00bs or something when it
comes to that stuff? O_o

Could prolly just simply have a list of given CYs and their location.
People who won CYs should have a url to that page on their statue when you
click it...and you could asign targets to each entry on the list, so for
example when you click the statue for best website 2004 the url would be
like http://www.awcommunity.org/cyawards/verify.htm#website2004; that way
it would take you right to that part of the list.

Started October 30th, 2002, Besburn River was initiated as a long term
project to physically connect Horizon City to SW City. After countless hours
slaving away on the project over the course of time, it's finally reached
it's destination. On June 2nd, 7:10PM VRT, 2004, the last bits of water were
poured in!

The river was measured by string, and it clocks in at 11,980 coordinates
long, or about 74.5 miles long.

Each coordinate of river is about 32 objects, which makes the river about
383,000 objects. Congrats to all who worked on this Alphaworld landmark,
surely AW's longest river.

river's width is exaggerated for easy viewing)

Here's a little tip to make public building areas a little more user
friendly - corona blockers.

Coronas are nice up close, but for the higher vis users, as you get 100m+
away from it, it's just a critical ball of light in the distance. Corona
blockers are large objects (such as pp01l_h, xwall1, xiggy4) with the
following command:

create texture ac mask=awd8m,solid no
(note you can use any texture, but I picked "ac" since it's only 2 letters)

It makes the object 100% transparent, making it block the coronas, but
allowing you to see through. As you approach the build, you'll pass through
the corona blocker and the coronas should kick in as a reasonable size at
that distance.

I'd be very happy if public event organizers started using this (like at
birthday card sites and such)...just try to fly around one of those areas
with 120m vis X_X

PS - Also, one little problem with corona blockers - they get in the way of
right clicking when you try to build. Either put them in last, or place
them underground and have the move into place (which would still block your
right click, but only once at least).

And AWI, as they've claimed and proved, backup Alphaworld everyday unless
they stopped somewhere in the past couple years.

I think they might be upgrading their hard drives since the world database
is growing to a critical mass. The AW Mapper is also down...a clue O_o?

Either way I can't imagine what would be taking so long. Maybe they forgot
AW was down =P

Sounds all nice and formal that =P

"Today is June 15th, 2004". Everyone I know in r/l would casually say it
like that. Whatever though, it's just a cultural thing.

I have no article but I can take a guess that the shoe making industry,
which was largely important back in the days of yore, were responsible for
both Foot and Inch measurements.
As for why there are 12, I can only guess it's because inch comes from the
old english word "ynce" which is from the latin word "uncia" which roughly
means 12 parts of x.

Or, at least brought back online..

Ugh... Remember when AW was down? Well, before they brought it back online
they did a database rebuild. In doing so, some cells were corrupted. I
recieved a telegram from someone who found cells of open land dotted
throughout my land. She too also had some holes in her land, and I found
another hole in an old developed area of town. Fortunantly so far all the
holes have been just land cover, but ugh at if a developed cell was corrupt.
Better start looking around at your primary builds....

'Tis true. Real radio stations can just pop a song on the air. They don't
pay royalities or fees (maybe for some special exceptions I guess). It's a
publicity thing, free advertising for the artist.
