Greetings, fellow AW'ers!
I was wondering... how would I go about becoming an official beta tester
for Active Worlds? I have beta tested for many things in the past,
including the popular game Space Empires IV and the upcoming Microsoft
Visual Studio.NET. I beleive it is important to get out as many bugs as
possible from an application before it is released, and I would like to
participate in that action. I am a programmer myself, so I can help
diagnose the problems I encounter when I submit them.
So if I could find out how to be a beta tester, it would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Computerizer

Does anyone know what has happened to the object "xsign.rwx" that was in
the alpha world object path? It seems to have disappeared, and that annoys
me significantly!

Computerizer,

Jul 17, 2001, 3:42pm

A few weeks ago I posted saying that xsign.rwx appears to be missing. I was
told something about registry problems and that it would be fixed by
"Monday" and I would be able to use it again. Now, two Mondays have passed
by and the file still does not exist in the AlphaWorld object path.
Please bring it back!?!?

Computerizer,

Jul 18, 2001, 3:20am

When I visit a location of one, I get the following error:

Warning: unable to download objects.activeworlds.com/aw/models/xsign.zip
(file not found)

Doesn't look like it's "back up and workng" to me!

Hey, is it me, or do some posts disappear from this newsgroup? What I was
replying to was on my screen a few moments ago--now it's gone. Maybe it's
just my newsreader...

Heh, specifically Washington (the state). On the west coast, 8PM VRT
is 3 PM. Most people are at work/school at that time. This next school
year at college I suppose I can try to make my schedule so that
perhaps I *might* be able to make it to these discussions, but most
likely it won't work out... *sigh*

Does anyone know of any news reader software that's better than Xnews? And
don't say Netscape, Outlook, or Mozilla. Hehehe. I was looking once and I
just grabbed Xnews quick, but it isn't performing very well.
If nobody knows of a nice one, I might have to make one myself...

Dear Community,

As some of you may have noticed, all of the ads have been removed from ABN
TV and the world A!!!!ABN is currently not open to the public. This is
because ABN TV is being rebuilt, almost from the ground up. The new ABN TV
will include:
- New Administration
- Clean, Crisp Images
- More Live Shows
- More Series
- Exclusive Cy Event Coverage

We are looking for a new staff to help build up and maintain this all-new
ABN TV. We need Studio Builders, Camera Operators,
Organizers/Administration, hosts or casts for shows, and more. If you are
interested in any sort of position at ABN TV and you work good in teams,
please telegram me, Computerizer. We will be adding lots of staff in the
next couple weeks, so the chances are, if you are qualified and dedicated,
you may be selected. We'd love to have you!

Also, it seems that some people are thinking that our new logo (which is on
the TV's currently rotating informational ads) says "ARN" and not "ABN". We
will try to create a logo in which the shadow of "TV" doesn't cover the "B"
so that it doesn't look like an "R" any more.

Thanks much, and I hope you look forward to the all-new ABN TV!

I just took the following screenshot in Active Worlds. I don't know what
happened to caused it, but I think I sent a telegram then all the text in
the chat window got totally screwed up:

Greetings,

Many of you are putting down my web design for the new Cy Awards web site at
http://www.awcommunity.org/cyawards/ . I wanted to comment on the site a little
bit.

First, and most importantly, I just want to let everyone know that I am open to
suggestions for everyone regarding the web site. Already I have lightened the
font color some, as per demand, because a minority of people seem to have
trouble seeing it on their darker monitors.

You're right, that the template for the site I made was a quickly-made page. It
was supposed to be just a sample page to show AlphaBit that I could make some
sort of web page. However, she liked it so much, that I felt any immediate
changes to improve it would not be neccessary. Since then, I have personally
entered in the entire text of every page on the site, and I have created lots of
PHP and Perl to help run the site and related things much better, in addition to
donating server space and server processor time to the Cy Awards at my own
expense.

If you want to help out with the web site, don't put it down, give me
suggestions. As I said, I am completely open to suggestions from anyone. Please
let me know. I plan to ignore any more put-downs about my web design. I own a
web hosting and web design company, and I don't intend for anyone to hurt the
reputation of myself or my company in any way.

Computerizer,
Cy Awards Webmaster

I don't know if I'm reading wrong or not, but it looks to me like that URL
says:
"
If you do choose to stray from black on white, make sure that there is
enough contrast between your text and background colors so that your
visitors will not have trouble reading your content.
"
Which is exactly why I am making the text color brighter, so it contrasts
better with the background (I did say this on the Cy Awards forums and in
my previous message here)

Thank you for suggesting this, however please be aware that ABN TV has
exclusive rights to televise the 2002 Cy Awards, which means the awards
ceremony and related events can and will be televised on ABN TV only.

As for the AW TV Alliance, it is still being worked on, and isn't complete
(it needs a much better web design, for example), but we do encourage any
stations who are up and running to apply for membership!

Thanks,

I highly believe it is likely that this "computer ID" that they use is what
is known to network administrators as a "MAC address". It is a unique
number that is assigned to every network card (or modem) that exists.
Nothing can be determined by the number, other than perhaps the
manufacturer and model number of the network card or modem. It looks
something like: 00-00-00-00-00-00 using the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F
(hexidecimal, of course). If anyone has the beta and knows exactly what the
numbers look like, could you confirm this please? It may or may not have
dashes in the middle, btw. If they are, in fact, using the MAC address,
there is absolutely nothing for anyone to worry about getting any
"information" about your computer. And sure, some people may just go use a
different computer to get around a ban like this... but it's sure a lot
more difficult than just changing your IP address.
By the way, if you want to know what your MAC address is, go to Start>Run
and type "winipcfg". There is a section labeled "Adapter Address". Again,
if anyone using the beta can find out what the numbers look like so we can
confirm this, it'd be nice... thanks :-)

May 28, 2002, 8:18pm

Sources have informed me that the computer ID is actually not the 'MAC
address'.. sorry
