AW Community Meetings (april) |

|
|
 |
|
| * Activeworlds is rediscovered thanks to a Vinesauce Youtube video. |
| |
| During the first Community meeting of 3rd april, there were 100 clients in Alphaworld, and up to 237 clients in Activeworlds (you have to deduct ±80 bots if you want to know an approximative number of users) .(See http://pens.sytes.net/aw/users/ ) |
| The cause of this was a popular Youtube video made by Vinesauce (Vinnie), which had more than 1 million views in 6 days, and this caused a massive inflow of new people. In his video, Activeworlds was described as an "abandoned" internet site. |
| The video was an internet hipe , caused by the creepy encounter with Hitomi Fujiko, who had returned to Activeworlds recently. |
| You can read the whole story here : http://www.venice3d.net/2016news53.html |
| On the internet, some people created fake websites and accounts about Hitomi Fujiko, so she decided to make an "AMA" (="ask me anything") on Reddit. |

| * Awld.me website |
| |
| GSK has started with a new website : awld.me , which will give additional information about places in Activeworlds, new resourves , and additional news. |
| This is what proceeded : About 2 years ago, GSK made the website awcom.me. The content of this website has merged with the new official website of Activeworlds. |
| When this project was finished, GSK started to make the website myaw.us, which is a social networld website for the Activeworlds users. |
| In the meanwhile, the website of Activeworlds hasn't been updated anymore, so that's why GSK decided to start up http://awld.me |

| * Teleporting in the chat window |
| |
| Sgeo (#346126) has learned us to use a shorter description for teleporting from the chat window, instead of the long description that we are use to see: |
| http:objects.activeworlds.com/cgi-bin/teleport.cgi?aw_2580S_2100W |
| If you type this in the chat window, and then when you click on it, you will be teleported to Alphaworld on location 2580S 2100W. The shorter description is like this : |
| http://teleport.cgi?aw_2580S_2100W |
| As you can see, underscores are required if you want to teleport to a specific position. Otherwise it is jok to type only the world name (for a teleport to the world entry point) : |
| http://teleport.cgi?planets2 |
| Note : this only works in the chat window The application or possibility of being able to teleport from an external webpage (like this page) has been disabled since a long time. There is however a solution.... (see news August 2016) |
