ACNOVA.com, short for Action Nova, is the brainchild of a group of students, past and present of Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) from the country of Singapore. They wanted to find out more about operation of servers and the geography of the internet through providing an array of free no-frills services such as guestbook/counter hosting and maintaining forums. It has since evolved into a major Open Source Projects Mirror in Asia and provides quality public game servers for all to enjoy. Most notable of all, our forums is a good place to air your views about social and educational issues around the world.
