Hey Guys..I guess this is community news :)
AWTeen is holding a Renaissance Faire and they've asked me to put some
Avvies together...With the help of the almighty Kitiara to help articulate
my buggy UV scrambled Meshs I should be able tog et some nice work done...
The Avatars for the Renaissance Faire are going to be passworded on the OP
however and after the fare I'm going to be selling 1 or 2 of them (and
prolly splitting it with Kitiara if she helps out) and giving few to the
bingo worlds as prizes...the avs will be prolly a Jester, a clown and maybe
a knight on a horse (no promises on that one) but if all goes well I'll be
posting them somewhere on awlife.net for sale, if your interested feel free
to e-mail me: robbie at awlife.net
Until then I hope you enjoy the Renaissance Faire and come to checkout my
work :o)

Well we got teased with a few nice pics a week or so ago. Those roads and
houses looked pretty sweet. Certainly a mark up on the AW Objects.
I've spoken to quite a few people and it seems AW have already finish the OP
an GZ and everything and are just waiting now. What for I'm not quite sure
of :)
Anyone else got any information? Perhaps anything they would like to see in
the new worlds.
I personally would like to see plenty of sectional building peices. Less of
all this 'Full House' Peices and stuff. Becuase otherwise we're just going
to end up with a world full of builds that look exactly the same.
Some of the older people amongst AW will remember back in mid-1998 when
there were only a handfull of worlds. Remember 1 particular day walking
alond a road in Alpha near GZ and seeing about 5 people...each with 4x4 lots
building a terris style build..they're buildings all contected
together...chatting hapily as they build up they're little pads in AW.
I think it would be nice if we could get that again. When WildAW first
started it was a little bit like that. But the feedom given by AW soon get
to people and the Pentograms, and Satanic Churches soon popped up. WildAW is
lucky to scrape more than 2 or 3 users these days.
If yor gunna guve us a new world to play with AW...make a good job of
it...give us some nice obs and plenty of room. And if the world *is* ready
now...then what are you waiting for? :o)
What does everyone else think? We could do with some intellegent
conversation around here. :o)

Not so much a rule more, more a request...
Why don't you ask the other members of AWCOM to read the NGs?
If Rick, JP, Roland and the rest read the NGs more often, even daily...just
for 10 minutes...they could keep up to date on community issues...
It would also show some of the people round here that doubt it, that AWCOM
does care, and that they do list to cits...I'm say I belive that...but I
might if you guys showed up a lil' around and about :)

Hello Harry,
It looks like your DLL File for the Microsoft Rich Edit control is
Corrupt...
Someone else here in the NGs will know more about this...but I would
encourage you to search the internet for a replacment DLL....
you might be able to find a suitable download from Micrsoft.com...
Hope that helps,

Facter is the peoples person..thats why 95% of people like him...
