They are overlapping indeed, because the faces are at the same location.
You can use a bot like the one Bowen posted in the Worldbuilders newsgroup
to lower the entire terrain a bit so it doesn't overlap. Click here to see

I recommend you buy a vid card with at least 32MB memory, and I personally
recommend the GeForce series (you can get a GF2 really cheap now).

Do you have any idea of how many other people steal cits in AW? And it's
probably due to the user giving him the password anyway, this problem is
not going to vanish before uneducated users stop giving out their passwords
to people! If he managed to steal it using a website, he's a very good
programmer, and judging from your description and how these people usually
are, he probably couldn't even write a Hello world in BASIC. (that means
one, extremely simple linem, of code in an old, easy language) When you
give out cits to tourists, remember to stuff their heads full of "Never
give the cit password to ANYONE!", and you'll be lowering the risk hugely.
BTW hacker != script kiddie...

You can enter my citname and your email, click the "I forgot my password"
button, but it won't send it to you, it might send it to me though :-)) It
sends it to the email address specified in the Preferences > User dialog,
so the victim does sign it's own "death sentence". I think it's silly that
parents sit and watch what their kids do, I've never done any of this crap,
and do you know why? Because my parents have told me about how bad it is,
and how stupid it is, and that they've managed to bring me up to be mature,
only immature people do this crap, so monitoring isn't really the solution
to the problem, it's education.

Actually, no, sites can't steal your password (at least not your AW
password). Only very good programmers (or people using apps made by very
good programmers) could at all manage to access memory and steal it that
way (the browser would have to be running though) from a Java applet, which
is the *only* way it could be done from a site. So don't worry about sites
stealing your AW password, because it won't happen :-)) And don't go around
telling people it will happen, it creates fear for no reason at all, and I
know you want to best for your visitors and friends (and fellow citizens)
:-)) Yup, people like this M A T T person are just stupid little script
kiddies that think they're really cool, but in fact are losers, I totally
agree, but I don't think it'll matter if schools are out, because script
kiddies and crackers aren't necesarely kids (or other < 18 people)!

He was just commenting the horrible English and that it was majorly off-

Look, he wasn't persecuting anyone, he was just commenting that the whole
post didn't belong in the NGs at all, it should have been mailed or
telegrammed to the conserned parties. Also, he commented the English, which
was downright terrible. Anyway, this person is a (former?) script kiddie
that's stolen cits, etc, and I have no esteem for these people, they

Because you're not doing it in an informative way, and your hosting is
commercial too. And there are others that have spammed their hosting
services here too (don't bother to reply, InSaNiTy). And also when replying
to people asking about hosting, it isn't SPAM, but you posted it without
any prior request for information. You should wait until someone asks about
hosting before you post about your service :-))

The status bar in OE is just a bunch of crap, it doesn't actually tell you

Probably something your graphics adapter (vid card), AW's D3D instance
doesn't seem to be too keen of sharing the adapter with anything else. I

You don't need much resources to run a newsserver :-)) People think servers
are freaky, strange, advanced things, but they're just like any other
application, nothing special. They've got resources to run a web and
uniserver, so they could just get a free or cheap newsserver and run it on
the webserver machine. If they take the free option, it'll cost them
about... $0.00 :-)) and very little in effort.
