Hey all, just wanted to take a break from all the flaming and bickering to do a
little advertising :)

The ActiveWorlds University is going to be offering a new series of courses soon
entitled "Community Building". These courses are meant to teach people what goes in
to creating a successful community and how they can "get in on the action", so to
speak. But before we can offer these courses, we need people to teach them! So if you
think you know all there is to know about the following topics, please email me at
gooberking at utn.cjb.net and we can talk more about it in person! Remember, we need
*experienced* people who know a *lot* about these topics, so only serious responses
will be regarded.

Starting a Town - This course will teach students everything there is to know in
creating and managing a town. Subjects will include GZ/Entrance Design, Lot Layout,
Theme Design, and Residential Planning

Owning & Managing a World - This course will cover all aspects of setting up a world,
including Configuring the World Server, Setting up an Object Path, Creating a
registry, and finding Hosting for your world

Building a GZ - This course demonstrates many of the tips and tricks for creating an
efficient and informative "Ground Zero" for your town or world, while also
demonstrating some of the more aesthetic aspects of GZ design.

Starting an Organization - This course will go through what is necessary for the
creation of an organization in AW, as well as demonstrating methods for keeping the
org an active player in the AW community.

Advertising - This course will go through all the advertising resources currently
available in the AW community, as well as teaching methods for effective advertising.

Event Coordination - This course goes through all the steps involved in setting up a
successful event, including Setting and Theme issues, and the resources that are
available to help make your event succeed.

If you think you'd like to teach a course that's not listed here, but would still be
related to the topic of "Building an Successful Community", email me at the address
above and we'll see if we can't add it to the list! With your help, we can make the
community a better place by helping others help themselves! :)

Before your "ghost town" 101 thing kicks off, how about you put in a lesson
"How to get people into AW so it can be worthwhile to make a town in the
first place"

n a y R... Where are you?... You are wanted to show people how to do a
town. You have lots of experiance. AND if you need to... Please send
us all your pictures you have of your OCEAN CITY in Alpha World...
Ohhh... He can also help you with worlds... He has his own world
called ORYAN on Dreamland Park Universe... I'll pop in there
soon And GRAM n a y R to pop back in here and help teach everyone at
the university. He has lots of experiance & LOTS OF PICTURES TOO...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

OK... To be really serious here... I'll forget n a y R... BUT as far
as setting up a world & running a world... As much as i would like to
say my friend Chucks Party... I would have to let that honors go to a
teacher here who would have a better understanding on how to set up a
world & running it & world paths...
That TEACHER here in my opinion is
JUST IN = Broadway World
And i trust you won't need a ZILLION pictures to proove it either...
Remember n a y R any one? And all of his pic's?

Well, that's quite pessimistic, marcus. :) There are plenty of people out
there looking for a place to build, you just need to get to them correctly.
:) And a town isn't used just for the attraction of people. You can use it
as a gathering place for your mini-community of friends, as a little summer
haven when the months get boring, as the site of events you'd like to hold.
Population is not a large key in a successful town. If you build it, they
will come. ;)
