I can came across a very interesting website today in a newsletter. It
included a link to "The Internet Archive" http://www.archive.org/. This has
copies of websites from multiple dates such as one from when it first
started and every change of it to the present. I've got to say yahoo.com,
amazon.com, etc look very very boring in 1996 hehe. Anyways if you type in
an address in the "WayBack Machine" Box it will show you a list of old
version of a website.

Interesting one here: Activeworlds.com
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.activeworlds.com

The oldest version is from 1998, perhaps because they weren't actually
activeworlds until later on. I have no idea what Circle Of Fire's website
address was. If anyone knows I'd like to see what it looked like...

http://www.channel1.com/users/fire was one of the old URL's. I believe JP
McCormick and Rick Noll had individual url's with Channel1, also. JP had an
object path I couldn't find in use by any other world, and I remember using
some textures from this OP for some of my builds for experimentation, using
pict1, etc.

Your message brings up a good point - old World's Inc (in relation to Alpha
World), Alpha World, COF, AWCOM, AWINC, etc., webpages should be saved and
made available for others to see. Used to be that when you entered the
start area of World's Inc., there was a portal to Alpha World; however, it
was a broken link at the time I visited. Maybe others remember when you
could enter Alpha World that way.

Hopefully, someone at all the other companies are saving the old pages, too.
Will be nice to reminisce in future years.

Heh, what a cool site! I found old versions of my RW site (http://tnlc.com/rw) but, unfortunately, not the original. I only still have Tyrell's maimed version. :/ Anyone else have the original?

Oh and I was also able to get some of the RW 2.x demos from http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.csl.com ! I've been looking for them for years since my hard drive crash (just say no to IBM drives). :/

Using IE 5.0, Opera 6.04, and NS 4.x seems to make no difference. all of them give me an awb.exe that says "Corrupt Install Detected"

Same here :( The old avatars ZIP files and textures worked, but not
this install. Either it's not y2k compliant or it has been transferred
in text mode somewhen.
