Active Worlds Experience is a new program hosted by AWNews offering one
tourist per month to experience all of the features of Active Worlds through
a thirty day citizenship they can have easily transferred into a full year
account.

Please help promote the Active Worlds Experience program in your world by
using the ad http://awnews.org/ad/awe.jpg (about 25kb), pointing to
http://awnews.org/AWE/. Thanks!

[View Quote] Essentially, a "randomizing" program does this, however, I have contacted
the person handling entries for AWE and the following is their reply on this
topic:

"Good and worthy question.

The answer is simple. I assign each entry a random 6-digit number or
6-letter name, and then enter those numbers into a program called 'bonfire'
(1997 palmcoast software). Then with a click of the mouse, the program
builds a random stack. The first, the top is the winner."

Check for firewalls. I experienced this problem when first trying to host a
world, and I still cannot because of my DSL modem. I could not seem to
access it, but others could. Turned out there was a NAT firewall built in to
my DSL modem, and since, I have gotten a newer model that is supposed to
allow you to disable it, but cannot to this day.

Stop replying to posts like these. They're just fishing for attention. It is
ridiculous and disgusting - we don't need to acknowledge it.

AWNews will now be updated once weekly, so you'll always know when to expect
new content. Each Sunday, the AWN Cover will feature new content including
articles, features, polls, and more.

Slightly modified Cover to welcome the new format. Check us out:
http://awnews.org

Have content to submit? Remember, it will be included with a weekly update
instead of being posted immediately. Content must be received the Saturday
before the Sunday update (IE: 4/10 will be the due date for the 4/11
update). Submit to all at awnews.org, or by clicking "Submit News Tip" on the
Features menu.

Thanks for using AWNews!

AWNews has launched a forum due to some recent demand for such a feature.
This forum is fully integrated into the AWNews portal system and works with
your current (or newly registered) account on awnews.org.

This is not a desperate attempt - just a response to the request of some
users, and so we'd like to offer these advantages over the newsgroups:

-No need for a news reader, easy to use web interface
-Better moderation
-Express yourself with avatars and html signatures
-Integrated with AW's top news site, awnews.org
-You can use this forum whether your citizenship is active or not

All you have to do is either login or register on awnews and click one of
the many links to the forum and you're set to go. We've created an easy link
to go directly to the forum once your account is setup: forum.awnews.org

If you need help with your account, please send an email to
support at awnews.org. We will help with passwords and other account and forum
issues promptly.

Thanks!

At the moment, it looks as though GSK's game will not be played. Guess that
means more prizes for trivia. :)

Should be a casual, not too time consuming event (depending on how long you
decide to stay), so stop in! :)

Maya remains open tonight for viewing the world, and chatting if there are
that many people there. :)

I don't think I'd care for this idea. I see your point with new users, but
if any user can just hop onto a big single chat pool, where's the fun of
exploring the universe and only talking in the location you're at?

Greetings,

We have just added a suggestion box to the Support AW web site. A primary
function of Support AW is gathering input from the community for the content
on our pages.

Rather than only accepting e-mail suggestions, any user can now simply
scroll to the very bottom of any page on the site (with the exception of the
homepage) and find the suggestion box where comments can quickly be entered
and submitted.

The system is meant to be very fast and simple - please include name/email
in the comments box if you wish to receive credit or a response.

While you're visiting, check out the new features and content we've added
since our launch.

Thanks,
Maki Kato

One other note -

The intent of having the box on every page is not only for convenience, but
the comments submitted should be in regards to the page you are currently on
(Example: You're on the Places to See page, and wish to submit a new world
for the list).

Thanks,
Maki Kato

Agree with you Coree -

This situation deals with potential fraud and dissatisfaction and can be
helpful to members of the community looking for these types of services. I
agree that these newsgroups should not be a place for meaningless rambling
and chat logs but this issue in particular does have some necessity.

I've always had a similar problem when attempting to host my own world...
except other people can enter the world, only I get the "looking for"
message.

I've always blamed it on my MSN by Qwest DSL modems though - both of which
have a NAT firewall installed that can only be turned off by flashing the
modems to their original manufacturer's firmware (something I don't care to
mess around with).

Not sure if it's the problem but this NAT firewall has plagued MSN customers
for a long time. I know it can't be my wireless (linksys) router because
I've had the same problem since before I used a router. :)

Greetings!

AWNews is proud to introduce a restructured volunteer program, and we're
looking for some talented individuals to fill our Team Writer positions! The
former volunteer at awnews program is becoming team at awnews.

AWNews will now cover the cost of your citizenship for your entire time
working with us. This offer is open to the AWNews Team Writer position. By
simply meeting the specified quota each month, an additional month will be
added to your account. Please note however, this program is not to earn a
month "from time-to-time." We want you to become involved in the
organization.

Also involved with the restructured program are in-world meetings. At least
once a month, AWN team members will get together and discuss AW happenings
and AWN features. We'll try to make writing for AWNews as simple and
enjoyable as possible. :) Team members will also be eligible to receive
bi-annual/annual bonuses.

If you're interested in this program, please visit our new team at awnews web
page. On it you will find additional information about benefits and the
requirements you'll need to meet in order to join the team. Please read
terms carefully and address all questions to all at awnews.org.

Hello :)

Much of the content on Support AW is created by the community, and in fact,
the majority of users on the Community Leaders section were nominated by
site users.

While we filter many irrelevant elections, we are not always aware of
disturbances casued by those users. If you feel a certain way about persons
on our site, you need to let us know to have it changed.

There is a Suggestions Box at the bottom of every page of the site.

Kind regards,
Maki Kato

I experience the same issue, though less frequently. I use a linksys WRT54G.

My drops tend to be more subtle. Generally, I don't notice anything *except*
the balloon that says it's now connected to my network. And it doesn't occur
while transferring a file, or any such in particular.

I don't run a world server so I don't have a problem with anything visually
like that. Sometimes the connection balloon doesn't even popup but people
will greet me in MSN as though I had been gone.

Would be nice to know the problem anyway - unstable router? Computer?
