Hi everyone:

I'm wondering about something....

If I were to maintain a VR TV & Radio Database, would people want to
contribute to keep it updated?? Maintaining such a Database wouldn't be
that hard of a job if the information is kept current and updated. There
could be virtual local as well as global and universal listings (depending
on just how far you want your content to be carried). The Database would be
a page on one of my existing websites or on the City of Hamsterville's own
website once it's built.

The reason why I say "virtual local" as well as global and universal because
some towns (mostly on AlphaWorld and AWWTeen) have virtual Radio or TV
stations which simply "relay" other universal content such as that from the
VR TV networks or Internet Radio stations by acting as an "affiliate" of a
particular network and sometimes (usually in the event of TV stations) use
the same call sign & channel system as their RL terrestrial Radio & TV
counterparts. An example of this is as follows in the City of
Hamsterville...

TV:
===

KSMW-TV 2 (VWTV)
KPDC-TV 4 (AirTV)
KBXD-TV 5 (SFTV)
KOBE-TV 8 (VWMP)
WHAM-TV 11 (XEON)

RADIO:
======

KPDC Internet Radio (Jeeper One)

Note that this isn't yet another means of promoting my fair city as it
pretty much gets enough promotion as it is. But rather the Database would
be of a means of promoting your own town by way of the town radio and/or TV
station.

Thoughts anyone?? Comments?? Tar?? Feathers?? FLAMES (GASP!)?? ALL OF
THE ABOVE (GASP!)??

Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] The VR TV Viewer is gone too as that's what motivated me to do a little
digging where I found a cached version of the old ActiveWorlds TV Directory
on Google. What I'm talking about goes beyond the networks. It would list
ALL the stations (even the local ones like the ones in Hamsterville and Yeti
City). All that would be required is that the 411 be current (which is, as
you pointed out, not easy to do).

Keeping the database current is where YOU - The rest of the AW Community -
come into play.

Of course, I'll do MY part, but keeping it current takes TEAMWORK. And all
that takes is a little EFFORT (even if all it is is sending off an email
pointing out a change of URL for a particular network or station).

With a little TEAMWORK, it really shouldn't be all THAT hard....

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] If yhou're referring to KOBE-TV Channel 8, it wasn't the intent to name it
after basketball player KOBE BRYANT. Rather, it was to signify the
communities which is serves, one of which is OBOEVILLE, though once I
realized the error in the spelling of Oboeville, which I thought was
OBEVILLE, I thought about changing the call letters to KOBO (and may do that
if legally compelled to do so), but since it was already publicly mentioned
that KOBE were the call letters of the station, I decided to leave well
enough alone (especially since VWTV is providing LIVE COVERAGE of the AWEC
Festival this weekend).

Hope that helps clarify things :-)

Cheers for now :-)

P.S.: Kobe's got enough on his plate right now with the sexual assault
scandal to mess with something as petty as a TV station in VIRTUAL reality.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Ohh....That won't be a problem Brock. Though when it comes to local TV
stationslike the ones I have, if they're affiliated with any of the TV
networks such as VWTV, that too will be listed as well. :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Myabe you don't know this yet Bruce, but as Goober pointed out, TechTV *IS*
what USED to be ZDTV.

Having said that, doesn't CNET host a computer show that's like syndicated
on like hundreds of stations across America??? I seemingly recall threm
doing so....

Hi everyone:

Getting snow on my AirTV station. Just wondering if AirTV is somehow OFF
THE AIR....

Jul 10, 2003, 7:35am

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Nevermind. AirTV is still with us Must've been a temporary server
glitch/delay..... *shrug*

Now I wonder if XEON will survive WITHOUT Richard since it appears as though
he's leaving......

Cheers for now :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Yeah.... :-)

Luckily, it was just a temporary glitch somewhere down the line. :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] This is WONDERFUL news Bruce because *IF* XEON-TV ever does go away, I, for
one, would want to have another network for WHAM-TV 11 to fall back on. :-)

Cheers for now :-)

Jul 15, 2003, 10:08pm

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Yeah but the URL above (with the update=10) seems to have NOTHING but
this....

"IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCESS CTV, THE LINK IS
http://www.solarisdx.net/ctv/ctv.php UPDATE=10". Note this DOES NOT change
to anything else. Hardly worth dumping SFTV for right now.

And as for AirTV, it was doing fine until this past Sunday. Did you take it
off the air??

As for the TV station which had AirTV, it's now carrying (The All New?) DFTV
network (which BTW, I *must* say I kinda like :-)). Though with XEON's
future in doubt, I just may have room for the new CTV on WHAM-TV 11 (the
current XEON affiliate) when CTV officially relaunches (I've never really
been crazy over SFTV to begin with!).

And even if XEON stays, there's still room by way of the current SFTV
affiliate anyway. So either way, you don't lose. :-)

Cheers for now :-)

[View Quote] I'm going to collect these, use STOIK Video Converter to convert them back
to .AVI and then re-encode them in the new Nullsoft Video NSV format for use
on my TV station when it goes on the air. Would that be okay with you??

Hi everyone:

I'm in need of some lighting fixtures (names chandeliers) for my pub (in
fact, I need some in order to see to put in the furniture). Only one small
problem. WHERE DO I FIND 'EM?? Not even Lara's Object Yard seems to be of
any help.

Anyone got any ideas?

Then too, the text didn't make any sense either. Just a bunch of words
jumbled together to make sentences and paragraphs. That all.

Just my opinion....

Don't get me wrong Brock. I think TheLady needs help too, but THE LAST

Which is why they periodically remind uss via IMMAGRATION OFFICER as we log
on (you DO *READ* these messages, do you?) to NOT download ANYTHING from
people you don't know!!! What more do you want??? A big huge sign5.rwx at
AWGate and AW GZ which ALSO tell you this???

Don't get me wrong as I also think what this person did was cruel and wrong,
but doggone it Shia, YOU HAVE TO READ!!! You ALSO need to know when to
excercise a little something called COMMON SENSE!!!!!

In other words, what do you tell your kids (assuming you have kids) to do if
they're ever approached by a stranger IRL?? You tell them to RUN AWAY AS
FAST AS POSSIBLE, don't you?? Well....Picture yourself in the shoes of your
kid when you're online and someone offers you a file that they describe as
"cool".

Just a little common sense....

How 'bout a big ol' sign5.rwx as I once suggested in my response to Shia's

and AWGate GZ??? Better yet, why not a group of 'em??? You can't POSSIBLY
