The Active Worlds Forums


AW Forums During the month of August Activeworlds, Inc. was forced to shut the community newsgroups down because of a SPAM attack on the server.

While this was unfortunate, a new form of community discussion has been established to replace the newsgroups! This new forum will make it easier for everyone to access an official message board, and also provides areas for discussion of topics which have not always had a place of their own.

How do I join?

It's easy to get started. All active citizen accounts have been copied to the forum. However, for an unknown reason your user passwords would not import into the forum database.

Our simple solution to this is to use the "Forgot Password" feature to have a new password e-mailed to you. It sends information to the e-mail address you listed in your citizen options. You can then login into your account and change your forum password to whatever you'd like.

Consult this thread for specific information. If you have multiple accounts with the same e-mail or have any other problems you can use the "Contact Us" link on the forums for help.

What can I do differently here?

The new AW Forum is a full-fledged online forum with capabilities of most of your other favorite forums. Threads and posts are organized in a better way. You can use emoticons and post with basic HTML commands (such as bold, italics, pictures, URLs, etc).

There are more forums than there were newsgroups - so there's a place for everyone! From programming, to troubleshooting, and general discussion each with their own sub-topics, there's always a good place for your post!

So what are you waiting for?
