Americas scavenger hunt date was postponed and now we have a new date.
Hopefully AWI won't do anything to mess up the bots by then. It will start
12pm VRT August 25th and end August 27th 12AM VRT. we have 31 prizes
including 2 p30 worlds 2 one year cits, 3 six month cits, 3 $100 gift
certificates form top modelers. 3 three month cits, and other various models
and avatars. I know this is an early post for it, but wanted to make it
known early so no one else would have something planned for the same dates.
Andras has been so kind as to host his bots for this :) I want to thank
andras and all who donated. Also if anyone else wants to donate it will be
appreciated. just gram me, Ciena. Info can be found here.....

I have always for years kept everything at no limit. so it isnt that. Andras
and Chris said it was the browser checking for changes. but it sure acts and
feels like re downolading. Guess I will just have to live with it along with
everyone else.

if a mover has "add on bump" then many ppl can ride at the same time. I have
found that its the last person on that does the driving. If a mover is built
by a CT then anyone can ride it. if its built by a citizen only that cit can
ride it. hope that answeres your question.

Well said tart :) one thing tho I don't think AW sponsers any of them. Just
because someone from awi may go to a reunion does not mean they sponser
them. U r right there is no "main" one. It's who ever wants to get one
started somewhere just does it on their own or with or without a comittee
of their choosing. It is very hard work for someone to get all the hotel and
tours situated snd researching all the alternatives. no matter what reunion
it is. and for a person to say that theirs is the main one is just plain
wrong. They did not work any harder on it than someone else having a reunion
somewhere else. And a lot depends on how far ppl can afford to go. it should
not be a competition. after all its all for a common purpose and thats to
bring together as many of the community to meet in rl whether it be in
Timbucktoo or Transylvania. I hope both are a great success.

and just how did they sponser it? just being on the comittee doesnt mean awi
sponsers it. they r ppl just like us but happen to have a job working for
awi. awi did not sponser it. and just because theres a picture at gz doesnt
mean awi sponsers it. all ya gotta do is ask awi if they will put a sign at
gz and they will. no big deal there to do that.
