Syntax here.
Well my cit expired on the 8th and I won't be renewing until this Friday.
Sooo, I'll be back posting on my own account again. :-P
I didn't renew right now just because most of my friends are busy doing
other things right now. I'll just take a break and come back when things
hopefully get hopping again.

Flagg told me earlier this year that they've tried lots of advertisement,
and while they may of got results it wasn't enough to pay off the ad costs.
With the price hikes it may be a different story though *shrug*.
Speaking of such, check out what I found last night while looking at the
best inventions of 2002:

we don't see as many new people in Active Worlds as we used to, is there a
reason anyone can think of this despite the price rise and that silly
'credit card details for trial but be aware we will try to charge you for
the first month if you don't cancel before your times up' system that's
scaring people away? I know for sure that on downloads.com there has been
allot of negative advertising regarding Active Worlds after the price rise
and ill tell you, I think its the very first time such a action by a company
has resulted in personal 'tsk tsk' statements against the company name by
its actual users using their screen / real names.

not displayed all the time, just rotated every so often. I thought to
myself, Why are outside businesses not taking up the opportunity for this
advertising, I think it can be put down to several reasons.

globally, while this is true it also means that advertisers are looking for

interested to have advertisement packages in Active Worlds if only they knew
about them and various other conditions were met.

actually advertises itself because to the best of my knowledge it doesn't
advertise anywhere but in the occasional trade fair which I haven't seen it
do for quite some time. I think that now AWI is getting better profits then
should devote some of this money into external advertising so that it can
further boost its revenues by getting more people into active worlds which
will serve 2 tasks, 1 of which is to prop up the community that is slowly
failing (don't flame me but we have seen allot of good people leave over the
last several months) and 2, it would bring in more citizens and hence more
money. Efforts should be made to please the citizens enough to get them to
come back to AW and for them to remove their negative publicity of AW from
things such as downloads.com's comments system.

> Next on the list, the Beta, I too think that its about time that it was
released, I think we have most of the bugs worked out of it now after
hundreds of crashes we now very rarely get any in the Beta team which is a
good thing, if you keep developing a product and saying it will be out soon
but it never is because your adding new features people will eventually get
board of this (Unless they're on the Beta team) and will start ignoring
everything that the company says which is a very very bad thing in my
opinion as some of the information that the company gives out about the
browser is important enough for us all to know about.

Little off topic but you got my attention with the 10% statistic. Where'd
you get that? Last time I checked, in PC magazine about 6 months ago, it
was 40% on broadband and they even mentioned that most people *thought* it
was more around the lines of 75%.

AWLD also stands for Active/Alpha World as well. It isn't necessarily the

Not that it applies to me, but it's a rule to not attach it because people
download all the messages and read em' offline - usually people that have a
pay per minute (or just unlimited) connection.
Though the last time I heard that explained, it was years ago. Does that
still apply? If so, that's a sucky ISP there, get another one =P
Otherwise, the warning seems fine to me. Not that 368 kb is a lot anyway.

I let it go overnight and when I go afk, or while playing offline games.

I download a lotta odd-ball shows and series and stuff.
