Let's get the AWHS back together. There's much to be done.

We need the following:

1) AW Mentor(s) such as Mauz, The Real Pops or Tyrell (any or all will do).
I don't mean to leave anyone out, so if you think you fit the bill, please
speak up.

This would need to be someone that can mentor us in the right direction.
Needs to be someone familiar with the World, Inc. days, has knowledge of
former citizens and builds. Someone that Active Worlds would trust to give
restoration rights.

2) Citizens that are interested in the history of AW - past and present
(read kellee's AWHS post). Must be flexible and dedicated - sensitive to
protecting the past as well as moving forward to the future.

For those interested in joining and attending a meeting, please post here.
When is a good time? We already have something first on our agenda so we
need to get moving.

Also, post here if you are interested in being a mentor. We also need an ok
from an AW spokesperson for the plan above.

[View Quote] Argh why meeeee... I supported the original goal of AWHS:
to protect the buildings of NACs (Not A Citizens) when they were
threatened to be opened for anybody to delete back in 1997
as a compensation for introducing the citizenship fee.
Yeah yeah AWCI didn't even keep that promise - thankfully ;)

Lots have been done since by AWHS, with the support of AWCI,
to convert accounts of historical site and GZ area builders
back into their original citizen name or into AWHS-accounts.
So that way they will stay protected even if the NACs properties
would get deleted. New additions to the historical site list may
pop up every now and then, like Alpengeist's Sky Kingdom just now.
But all in all, the goals of the old AWHS have already been reached.

The proposed new AWHS seems to be more into cleaning up than
preservation. Sure the old AWHS started to go that way too,
but I never really thought it fit the founder's idea.

However, as the original purpose is now obsolete anyway, maybe
AWHS should change into a "AlphaWorld Town Planning Office".
Town planners in real life deal with city plans, zoning laws
and provisions, estethical values etc. So it is more natural
for such an organization to take matters of taste into account
than purely historical values. A historic building can be ugly too.

Truthfully, I think that the AWHS should restore THEN preserve historic
landmarks. Do you really want GZ in ruins some day? I made the mistake of
not looking down the line, but think about it! This isn't just about the
SK, it's about saving all historic buildings! I know I'll get flamed for
this, but I'm prepared lol.

I love Active Worlds history and have been a citizen for over two years now. I
would be interesting in joining the AWHS.
