Noticeboard: New models from Susan 3D

Hey everyone, we don't get too much news about new models available these days, so I like to share it as I come across it.


Susan 3D released an "Antique French Sink, Cabinet, and Mirror Set" this week, available for $8.00 USD.  The modeler's description: "The cabinet features a painted black finish with gilt trim, white porcelain bowl with an elegant gold design, marble top, and gold faucets. The mirror/picture object is a separate model for versatility."

It looks like a fine and elegant piece (specifically the trim on the cabinet itself) and hopefully is agreeable to those of you who purchase objects.

Fixed: AWExpo Login Bug

Hey everyone, the 'AWExpo' page has been removed from the 'What's new in AW?' sidebar feature, because it was causing a login box to appear on each page.  This should fix the problem and free up your viewing.  Just wanted to pop in and let you know! :)

Reddit for Virtual Reality

Hey everyone.  Apologies for the infrequent posts... I'm in a bit of a lull as far as Activeworlds goes (it happens).  Anyway, I'm still around on other parts of the net and I've acquired the r/virtualreality space on reddit to foster a commonground between various VR platforms.



For the uninitiated, Reddit is a social content site where users can submit links that other users can vote up and down on, and the highest-ranked content gets more exposure.  Reddit goes beyond other sites of this nature by allowing users to take control of reddits/subreddits (such as r/virtualreality), make their own rules, and manipulate their design.

I've spent the weekend preparing r/virtualreality, and I think its ready for others to join me now.  If you'd like to visit, just go to http://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/.  If you register a Reddit account, you can participate in the conversation by voting, commenting, and submitting.  It'd be really great to have a diverse crowd from many platforms, and I'd love to have some other AW users lurking around!
