It's too bad almost none of the old VRML communities still exist. I wonder if there are backups of CyberTown worlds floating around somewhere...

- angersock 12y agoActive worlds! Apparently it got overrun with terrible people before it went away. It used to be so fun just building things. :(
- cypher543 12y agoI think AW is still online, although I imagine it's pretty empty by now. It became free in 2013. https://www.activeworlds.com https://www.activeworlds.com
- drpancake 12y agoI learned a lot from Cybertown back in the day. Hiring staff, advertising my block. I learned HTML and CSS so that I could style my block's message board and that eventually led to what I'm doing now, 14 years later. Nobody knows you're twelve years old in a virtual world. I think at one point I was head of the city's night club.
- cypher543 12y agoCT was one of my biggest inspirations, as well. There are still copies of Blaxxun Community Server out there[1], so it would be great if someone could get their hands on the original world files somehow. I also tracked down the source code for an early version of the Blaxxun Contact browser plugin and uploaded it to GitHub[2]. Unfortunately, it's old enough that it doesn't include any of the community features.
