Ohhh nooo, they wont let you do that... holding a huge virtual event that
brings people together from many many countrys around the world would take
the attension off of them...

Suffice to say my classics teacher is not to pleased about someone
copyrighting the rings which were created years before the IOC was even
thought of....

I still think that if the hosting is in a non us country they cant do a
thing :)

Perssonaly the press would probably jump all over this...

WARNING - Could anyone hosting any object path change its password!

67 Object Path Keys Compromised - Everything from AW to the Gor worlds,
change your OP passwords NOW!

The source of the codes has been destroyed - Anyone found using the PW's
without the owners permission will have the owner and AWC to answer to!

Once again - Change your PW's now - I cannot reviel who is on the list, the
safest bet is to completly change every object path. Andras has a tool
available - www.andras.net.

On 30th March, 2002 - I saw though my MSN that the user Dark Mod had placed
a line of text after his username quating a URL and text saying crack this
zip to get __ OP passwords.

I downloaded the file and asked Mod what it was, he said it was 10 character
password that was a common phrase of his.

I contacted InSaNiTy when Mod told me WCOL was also included.

I set my computers to smart search overnight and in the morning I found that
the PW had still not been broken. This morning i was talking to a friend who
cracked the ZIP Password and gave it me a few seconds byfore my scan
reveieled it to me also.

I found inside a set of passwords, which i asked the owner of several of the
OP's if the password was correct. It was confirmed the PW I had told the
owner was correct.

I then posted on all NGs on both Andras's and AWC's server about the problem
and informed everyone in various GZ that their OP PW's had been compromised.

I do not at this time have any knowledge about how the PW's have been gotten
as all i see is *'s, even with CT.

---------------------------------------------------------
Now u know how i know, You must realise how important this is and change
your object path passwords. I will not disclose the worlds, thats upto AWC
to do. But it is a safest everyones OP Passwords are changed.

I hope that you make sure you change yours

DarkMod- looking for a new WebSpace says:

lol suck up

Mark says:

DarkMod- looking for a new WebSpace says:

duh i got those pws....here put this in your little newsgroup....I got the
pws nothing they can do bout it...hell i even got the objects dled...Have a
nice day

Mar 31, 2002, 2:04pm

You can smell em?

anyway folks, you have a admission.

I recomend everyone changes their OP Pw's

[View Quote]

Mar 31, 2002, 4:21pm

Because its imporant everyone knows so if they own a OP, they change it
asap.


[View Quote]

Mar 31, 2002, 4:34pm

No, it is essential everyone who could possably have OP knows. I have
posted in every NG on both main AW type servers. As you know by now (i hope)
the passwords are confirmed as compromised and it is essential that
everyones knows so they can change them. So unless u have AWLD #1 rights and
can tell everyone by using the universe welcome message. Id apreciate just
going with this and just changing the PW on a OP if you own 1. Thankyou :)

Why the heck are they doing all these mergers? We can probably think of
better business ideas


[View Quote]

May 6, 2002, 4:33pm

Refering to a post I saw and from what I know of Business...

"Well the thing about this Merge is that Alladin will hold 60% of the merger
share now were I come from that means they also own control and what they
say goes."

Now AWCorp is the world leader in 3D internet communication technology
correct? Now from all ive learnt (however little it is compared to some) I
cannot foresee how having a company that knows between little and nil about
3D internet technology can run a 3D internet communications technology
company!

All these mergers and rubbish, its getting out of hand. AWC should be
getting at least 30% more capital input by now from the increased prices,
despite allot of citizens leaving. What I cannot understand is why perform
such mergers that are only going to leave your company weaker because its
with split control.

What I cannot understand is why AWCorp dosent seize the opertunity to make
more money itself, while at the same time pleasing the citizens with more
development. AWC is perfect for e-commerce, what has it done... near zero,
alphabit has done more in a few weeks than AWC has done in along time.

Im gonna go back though my business studies book and whip out awc's SEC
report and have a lil search though and think up my own ideas. If anyone
else has any ideas tell AWC, before they go do something even stupider...

AWC's Problems and My possable solutions (from SEC Report)

"WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN MARKETING OUR TECHNOLOGY FOR E-COMMERCE
APPLICATIONS. "

E-commerce is still a very new market and as such it is never certain what
factors may effect the situation of a company. This statement makes the
comment of "marketing", in my experience i have not to date seen any
marketing of the standards that are required for attracting large numbers of
users or clients towards Active Worlds and / or its software. To Aquire more
clients the company must engage in sucessfull marketing of its own and not
based on the clients word of mouth methods.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
"OUR FAILURE TO DEVELOP STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS COULD INHIBIT OUR ABILITY TO
GROW"

Strategic relationships require several things, first being stratergy, it is
important to identify key relationships that would be benefital to Active
Worlds Corp and the business of which the relationship is formed with.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"BECAUSE WE ARE SEEKING TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS AND HAVE LIMITED MANAGEMENT
PERSONNEL, WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN MANAGING OUR GROWTH SHOULD WE HAVE ANY
GROWTH"

I find this strange, Active Worlds features a fully functional Universal
Welcome message that communicates with a community of thousands, many of
which have high business managment skills that would be benefitial and could
possably be asked to take employment with Active Worlds Corp if required.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY HIRING QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES WITH TECHNICAL OR SALES
EXPERIENCE"

Another case of ask and thou shall recieve. The Active Worlds community is
complete will fully featured programers that combined have ability capable
of development on a scale that has never been seen in Active Worlds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO THE RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IN OUR
INDUSTRY."

It is logical, that if there is a rapid technological change in a industry
that the respective company ensures that if there is development, they have
already been there, done it, and superseeded it 5 months previously. This is
the only way to ensure that the product will have greater apeal to the
clients it is targetted at.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE MAY MAKE ACQUISITIONS WITHOUT INFORMING STOCKHOLDERS OR SEEKING THEIR
APPROVAL"

There is nothing wrong with this, although AWCorp would be wise to seek the
opinions of existing clients (including but not limited to citizens) where
the acqusition will be directed towards them in such ways that they will in
some way incur the costs of this acqusition.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"FUTURE ACQUISITIONS INVOLVE RISKS FOR US"

This is the same for every company, but with adequate resources stored any
risks may be able to be canceled out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PATENT PROTECTION FOR OUR SOFTWARE, AND WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS"

Although this is a difficulty AWCorp will have to overcome, if the software
code is disclosed due to any circumstances will be utter dissaster for
Active worlds if the software is taken over by someone with greater market
power. This must pevented at all costs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"IF BUSINESSES DO NOT ACCEPT THREE-DIMENSIONAL INTERNET WEB SITES AS A
MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING AND E-COMMERCE, OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUE MAY
BE LIMITED"

Oh please, if they do not accept it, make them accept it. If AWcorp cannot
make them accept it, im sure I can (or find someone who can) purswade them
otherwise in a hour of chat and viewing on Active Worlds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"OUR SYSTEMS MAY FAIL OR EXPERIENCE A SLOW DOWN AND OUR USERS DEPEND UPON
OTHERS FOR ACCESS TO OUR WEB SITE"

Why cant the site be mirrored? There must be GigaBytes of space available
for little cost.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ASSURE E-COMMERCE VENDORS AND USERS THAT WE CAN PROVIDE
ADEQUATE SECURITY, OUR WEB SITE MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED"

Agreed, ever tried getting a newbie to speak in encrypted text to a high
security bot? It aint prity! The only solution to this would be direct
browser plugins aproved by Active Worlds for entering infromation that would
then be sent directly to the server using extreme levels of encryption.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN AND IS LIKELY TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE"

Be honest, the stock price has gone down in flames. Maybe if you can get it
out of the small caps market and into something greater your chances of
stability would be increased.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE ARE UNLIKELY TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE."

Fine, but you beter start paying something out if someone invests allot of
they are gonna be 'slightly' annoyed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE DO NOT CURRENTLY MEET THE CONTINUED LISTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE NASDAQ
SMALLCAP MARKET."

Thats your fault AWC, do the above to solve it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------

"WE ARE CONTROLLED BY OUR MANAGEMENT WHICH MEANS THAT MANAGEMENT CAN PREVENT
A THIRD PARTY FROM ACQUIRING US EVEN IF AN ACQUISITION IS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS"

So much for this with AWC's latest merger....
