We don't post a ton of news out of the ActiveWiki these days, but today I'd like to welcome Legion to our team. If you haven't taken a look at the recent changes page lately, you wouldn't know about this... but we've been dealing with a pretty horrible spambot problem for a few weeks now at least. It had gotten so bad that GSK has implemented a protocol for deleting and banning these new accounts/pages on sight, but they post with such frequency that it's a bit of a chore to cleanup if one of the administrators ignores the page for more then a day.
Since GSK and I are the only currently active community administrators, bringing another guy onto the team was desirable and Legion stepped up and volunteered before it had even come to asking for help. :)
From what I understand of the problem it's a pretty fix if someone who knew what they were doing had access to the wiki backend. Unfortunately neither of those conditions are currently met, so we have to deal with this on the frontside. :(
At any rate, feel free to welcome Legion to our team by leaving a comment on his talk page.

Finals Week Approaching...
Hey everyone! Just checking in as this semester is beginning to wrap up... getting busy again! This period should last until next Wednesday night, and then I'll be home free. In the interim, I plan on posting up at least 3 more updated posts from the "Retrospective Look" series... I'll have the next one up tonight or perhaps tomorrow, depending on how busy we are here.
We will be visiting Yellow world next. :)

Noticeboard: AWTours seeking Language Translators

A nice feature of Blogger is the ability to see where my viewers are from; apparently I have them from all over the world. :) Since that's the case, I figure that some of you may be able to help us out in AWTours... Urbane Chaos is looking for some help to translate helpful signs in AWTours to other languages so as to serve as many viewers as possible. It's not a big job and would probably be nothing at all for someone who is fluent. :)

Full text of the request below:
In AWTours, I've been working on a non-english speaking help area. I'm looking for people who could help translate two signs into different languages. We have a few languages covered already, but in order to best serve the community, I'd like to have as many translations as possible.
Personally, I don't trust the translation programs for what I'm doing, as I've seen them make several mistakes in the past.
If anyone can help, that would be great!
The signs read as follows:
The header sign:
__________ Speaking Visitors (Example, "German Speaking Visitors")
The information sign:
Welcome to AWTours!If anyone can stop by and lend a hand, I'm sure UC would appreciate it. :)
This world is dedicated to showcasing the best of Active Worlds.
If you need help in your language, either use the translator here or teleport to AWGate and ask a GateKeeper for assistance.
