I'd like to take this opportunity to invite members from all areas of the
community
to attend AWTeen's Generations Day, to be held this Thursday,
June 27, at 1PM VRT.

Generations Day was originally conceived as a simple ceremony to
announce who would take over the administration of AWTeen after I
fade out in August. Since its conception, the idea has grown to
include three related events that will usher in the next generation
of AWTeen visitors, and a concept that will affect the community at
large.

The day will begin with a demonstration of the current progress of
Thor 2. Those familiar with the original Thor will know that it
currently changes AWTeen's backdrops according to the time of day, but has
become outdated with the introduction of skyboxes into the Activeworlds
browser.
This demonstration will allow the community at large to gain a sneak
peak at what's going on behind the scenes, and to give their input on
how the new application will be implemented when Activeworlds 3.4 is
released early next month.

Later, AWTeen's terrain editor, Demeter, will be demonstrated. This
editor allows anyone, regardless of world rights, to edit the terrain
under his or her buildings. Demeter
prevents abuse as well, which will enable buildings of unparalleled
complexity and artistry to be created that have never before been
available in a public building world. After the demonstration, the
application will be permanently enabled for the community's building
pleasure.

Finally, the leader of AWTeen's next generation, who will take over
at the end of August, will be announced. Staff and community members
will then have the opportunity to chat with and share ideas with this
caring and dedicated person.

Again, I would like to extend an invitation to all community members to
attend to see the newest innovations that AWTeen and the
greater Activeworlds community have developed. The event will last
no longer than one hour, and is scheduled during normal business hours
because numerous Activeworlds Corp. employees will be in attendance. More
detailed information is available at

Hope to see everyone there! Comments are welcome below.
