Hi,
While this is a great idea, it will not happen. Aw has discussed the problems with generating a registry for new objects. Also
you couldn't really add a high detail object into aw, it would look out of place with the older aw objects. Also I heard aw won't
be putting in any new objects for a while, due to the many new ones added recently.

"If you look at Alphaworld, there's already about 100 (i think, I might be exaggerating :P) counting all pp's, wall's, walks, and
such as just 1 object per name."
Are you suggesting the alphaworld object path has less then 100 objects total? Lets look at this:
pp01, pp01_h, pp01m, pp01m_h, pp01l, pp01l_h, pd01, parch01, pw01
Those are the 8 base panel objects of aw. There are roughly 32 sets of them.
32 x 8=256
That's a bit more then 100. Unless I misinterpreted "counting all.. as just 1 object per name" <- I didn't quite get what that
means.
Even so, there is still a diversity of objects. :)
I think what they mean would be more along the lines of what Eep has suggested, a little object renderer window in the build window.

There will not be any new "NAC's". When someone does not renew, they don't go NAC in case they ever decide to renew. The NAC's
are remnant tourists objects basically. When renewal was implemented all non-paying users went NAC. So now people who don't renew
did pay and therefore don't go NAC.

I'd just like to give my opinion on each petition now. :)
Furniture Petition:
What Goober said, and if you are creative you can do anything with AW's objects. Search out Sojiurn's builds and you'd see what
I mean. Also, I know for a fact that due to the recent addition of object's to aw, it is going to be a long while before we see new
objects.
Contact List:
3.0 beta is obstructing this. Maybe 3.1 will bring it. This has always been on the To-Do list, it's not like Roland (the
programmer) is clueless. Maybe you can HELP him out by trying to find someone to fill the programming job.
Cell Data Limit:
Are you insane?! There is a ton of free land. Want to make a skyscraper? Build each floor apart from each other and make the
elevators use teleports... Geeze get creative.
Well I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

Exactly, stop wasting time with petitions and learn to be a freaking smart builder.
