...abuse?...

I dunno why you think they *IGNORE* us, cause they don't. Sure they are
a little quiet, but i think they get most of thier feature ideas from us
(check out the "wishlist" group. Next, they are a small corporation with
15-20 ppl and they have 10,000+ users to deal with, not to mention upgrades,
financing, dealing with all the pirated uniserver, providing customer
support (as in problems, not complaints...), and Having a life... they can't
sit around 24/7 typing replys to 1000's of e-mails and reading the 1000's of
posts on the petition, lots of them have families, folks. They knew we
would be angry at this so the released the new object set, and it definately
took them more than 5 days to put that together, so they knew how we would
react. Privacy features not only help them (keep from being flooded with
grams log in) but helps us when we dont want to be disturbed. Do you know
how many ppl t-gram AlphaBit Phalpha while shes up on the stage trying to
coordinate the ceremony, and solve any un-expected problems that might come
up? I bet shes gest hundreds saying simply "can i have a cy?". Anywho, they
are trying to save AW and keep us happy at the same time, sure they could
release a statement or two( which might not even satisfy us), but they are
way to busy there to answer every single post and e-mail. Here are a few
statements from facter (A former employee of AWCOM), please excuse the
profanity..."rick's a fukin great guy, honestly - if he thinks he's doing
the right thing, then that is what he in his heart believes - I had the
opportunity to get to know him in person, and all I know is that the man is
a truely good soul"..."I'm damn sure, that he knew that there were going to
be alot of unhappy people"..."oh man, how would you feel having to do
something like this, seriously ?"..."but ive had the unique perspective to
be in on things that you guys dont know, and am privvy to a plan they have
that will, if it works, probably end up knocking your socks out - if they
survive that long..which I guess is all they are trying to do now"..."well,
seriously...if it went belly up financially? rick and JP would still own it.
It wouldnt disappear I dont tihnk..they could fire everyone at the office,a
dn keep it running probably"..."then stop your bitching, keep supporting
them for as long as you feel you are morally able to, or financially able
to, and see where it takes you"...lol last one..."he fukin adores this place
and this community, you have no idea". People we need to quit jumping at
conclusions and get all the facts before you make one. They did cut costs,
which is partially the reason why facter left AWCOM. For all you people
whos cits expire soon, I'm sorry and i hope you come back. As for the rest
of us, lets sit tight at see this through, believe it or not folks AWCOM
themselves is AW's last hope.

UMM to sign up for a free 2wk cit, you need a CC number... and you can't
have multiple trials on the same number... so, unless you change credit
card's every two weeks, you'd have a problem with that plan.

"world.altavista.com" and you can translate it there. Nothing really

The CYs are here!!!

Hey, don't forget to pick YP and me up...can't leave us behind. We'll be
ready by 7:00pm vrt...just got my blues back from the dry cleaners, so I'm
good to go. :P I'll make sure YP gets fitted for his tux. Also, did you call
ahead and request the box seat tickets? But besides that, just make sure the
computer is unplugged in case of a lightning storm, the cats have
water...and food, and the doors are locked once you leave. Cya at the CYs!
:)
