1. Activeworlds server move |
Activeworlds has a new server host , now it's Amazon instead of Hostway. The download rate is a lot faster now (20MB/sec instead of 60kb/sec) but it's also a lot more expensive. |
2. AWForum versus Facebook |
Facebook seems to be more popular than the Forum , but the forum has some advantages: |
* The Forum contains archives of historical blogs and newgroups |
* You can read the posts without having to log in with an account. |
* All citizens can post articles in the AW forum with their AW-account |
* No need to scroll down during several minutes if you want to view older posts |
3. The Extreme Builders Talent Show (EBTS 6) : |
* located at 7500S 500E in Alphaworld starting from 1st february until 28th march |
* the building lots are huge : 200x200meters , this is equal to a p10-sized world. |
* and 200m distance between the lots : if there is lag, it will be caused by yourself |
* the judging will start on 29th march until 11th april and will be done like last year : http://forums.activeworlds.com/read.php?6,361876 |
* the winners will be revealed on 12th april
