...my number got pulled, i guess you could say.. got an e-mail from at Home.. telling me i can't host anything.. I understand not
hosting for people.. but I'm trying to convince them to at least let me host my own.. i've spent so much time and money on my worlds
and object path.. maybe i'm out of line by requesting you all e-mail them in my support.. but it's hard to see something you've
worked so hard on, so long on, and spent so much on, just go off into the sunset.. I understand with them i'm not supposed to host
anything.. but it's just so hard.. it's tooken seven months to get survivor where it is today.. and to see it all gone is just a
hearbreak for me.. so.. please.. if you have the time.. just send them a little notice that you would like to see Vernon Bell's
at Home account (c646697-a.eugene1.or.home.com (24.176.48.129)) remain open.. maybe you don't like me, or my world.. you don't have to
do it for me or for my world.. but at least do it for my dream.... thanks..

cable.. it might seem slow to run a news server on.. but connections are so
inoften, when you think about it.. they are only connected to DL messages,

However the DSL technology has already reached it's peak, or cap, and yet Cable Technology can grow to far exceed that of DSL.

:
: Disagree. Cable can upload with a much more limited speed than SDSL (no - I'm not talking the "cheap" ADSL connections). It is
inherent to the cable technology that you can have a high speed download (carrier is around 200MHz) but your upload it much less
(never exceeds 32 KBytes/sec) because it's carrier frequency is only 38 MHz or around.
: With DSL - you can have a sychronous 1 MBits/sec bidirectional transfer speed.

: There was a time in AW when COF actually had a presence in the AW Community. There

: a decision was made. There was a time in AW when people would meet in a little world
: called The Transcend, and eagerly listen to COF's biggest announcements and plans for
: the future. There was a time when, rather than see a product that was full of
: potential get tossed aside like so much garbage, COF took it upon themselves to keep
: it alive, doing it "for the community".
: That was then; this is now. All the broken promises, unheard pleas, and unanswered
: concerns lie plain for all to see like an open book. Citizenships that were
: guaranteed to be free, abruptly changed to a paid system and unwittingly creating a
: caste system of haves and have-nots that would forever divide the community. Worlds
: like COFMeta, Atlantis, and WildAW, the "babies" of AWCI employees, now stand nearly
: deserted and devoid of life due to neglect. World prices skyrocket out of control
: without any prior warning or notification as the AW citizen base, mostly teenagers,
: scramble to find enough money for their dream world. Features appear in the software
: that only a marketing executive could love, as citizens' ideas go completely and
: blatantly ignored. Organizations that once thrived on AWCI support (AWHS, AWEC, et
: al) now stand in a state of dormancy, waiting for someone to help bring them to their
: former glory. Textures get changed without any notification whatsoever, forever
: changing, and in some cases, ruining the AW landscape.
: And all this because of money; a simple, desperate, constant search for money. While
: you were busy building virtual malls that no one would visit, you succeeding in
: disenfranchising the AW populace by raising world prices and changing textures
: without any input from your supposed "cherished" user base. While you were busy
: shaking hands with Juno and making their world, a man by the name of Cybernome left
: his post as caretaker of COFMeta (a world that *you*, AWCI, are supposed to be taking
: care of) because of the stress of dealing with the AWCI management, causing it to
: regress back to an empty, lonely world. While you were busy making Universes that
: soon flopped, your stock did a reverse split and you actually had to buy some of your
: own stock back! And while you were busy changing names and appointing Board members,
: your own employees go as unnoticed and ignored as the citizens they spend their daily
: lives helping and serving.
: There's a reason this letter starts with the greeting "To Whom It May Concern". It's
: a greeting that asks a simple question: Does this concern you? Do these things that
: have occurred over the years bother you? Do you think something should be done about
: them? If so, then why haven't you? The events that are described here, as well as
: many others, are all well documented, so it's not as if you didn't know about them.
: You are all perfectly aware of this buzzing community of people that has "suddenly"
: sprung up around your little piece of software, yet you chose not to address it.
: Instead of seeking to help nurture and grow this throng of loyal followers who have
: been with you since the beginning, you wish to try and lure in companies and
: businesses who might initially fall for the "revolutionary
: e-commerce/education/modeling/simulation/whatever software" routine, but soon
: discover it's nothing more than an elaborate chat room.
: If it's money you're after, why not look at what has and has not worked in your
: storied history so far. Virtual malls have proven to be completely ineffective, with
: at mart standing empty, except for the occasional tourist lured away from AWGate. Your
: precious Education universe, as well as worlds created for universities and colleges,
: lie empty and dead, never to be visited again. Even your most recent projects, like
: Nettazi, fail to draw in even a hint of revenue. On the other hand, mainstays like AW
: and AWTeen continue to draw in hundreds of users on a daily basis. Volunteers like
: Alphabit Phalpha, Brant, Bille, and countless others provide events and community
: services that keep people coming back. Even employees like Facter, Flagg, and Roland
: do all that they can to help make the community a better place, even if it's on their
: own time! And all of these things work for one simple reason: it's for the community!
: The community can make AW work!
: All it takes is turning around and looking at who's behind you. Will Juno care about
: AW's community and development? Will Nettaxi? Will NASA or the University of Santa
: Cruz or PCDJ.com or some other corporate sponsor down the road? When all is said and
: done, when all the deals have past and all the money has been squandered, we will
: still be here, supporting everything you do. Why? Simply because we have taken the
: time to invest in your product to its fullest. We are the ones who have committed to
: making AW the greatest place for people to come and, ultimately, spend their
: hard-earned money. We are the ones who have succeeded in keeping this company afloat,
: despite all the hardships and bad decisions. And we are the ones who can help you
: bring AW into the forefront, where it belongs; where it *needs* to be.
: But in order to do that, our voices need to be heard. We need to work together if
: you ever want to see this program break out of this cycle of stagnation. Your
: concerns must become our concerns, and our concerns must become your concerns. Only
: then, will AWCI begin to see true success, and AW will launch into the stratosphere.
: Still, the question remains: Are these your concerns? Do the ideas expressed in this

: they don't, you've essentially told every single person who's ever bought a
: citizenship or a world or a t-shirt or a CD, who's ever started a community
: organization or a business in AW, that it was all for nothing. You might as well tell
: everyone to send you a check for $20 in the mail every year and never even come to AW
: at all.
: The community can help you, if you are willing to let it. Let us be heard, and
: together we can bring AW out of the darkness and into the spotlight where it belongs.
: Because *that* should be everyone's primary concern.

Full screen mode is obviously going to be far down on the priority list seeing as how it is more of a "novelty" then a neccessity.
In some cases it can be quite annoying. If any thought goes into wether implementing this feature at all, I will be stunned, and
almost angered at the fact that much more "important" (not saying that you are not important, but bug fixes and usability options
that are much more neccessary for a larger band of users, not just expanding the picture a few pixels) reccomondations go
un-noticed.

no, because your not being ignored.. fully.. i will agree that AWC is not paying much attention to their universe users.. but i
don't rag on them.. AW doesn't make money from their citizenships, nor even their worlds for that matter.. we could all drop dead
right now, and allthough it would financially damage AWC, they would struggle, but i believe still survive. It is my belief that
AWC gains all there money from uniservers, this sounds cold, but they don't give a damn about us because we're not spending
thousands of dollars. We're not feeding their families. It is uniserver customers they cater to, because it is uniserver customers
who feed their families, their lack of interest in the community is SOMEWHAT justified, although yes, I want them to listen to all
our requests, it's just not logical. They, however, do listen to some of our requests, and consider many of them. As far as I'm
concerned any bit of interaction is an amazement. WildAW was a tragic mistake on the communities part. We begged for a place where
we could be free from PKs and censorship. AWC finally listened to us, and we now neglect it. Not only are we not large
contributors to their income, we also complain about what we don't have, and take for granted what we do. It is a shock to me that
AWC even listens to us AT ALL. Personally, if I were in the exact position of AWCom, with future technology in the works, I would
be paying 0 attention to the requests of AW citizens. But they ARE paying attention, they are almost finished developing the new AW
object set we have begged for years to get. At Reunion WE, the citizens, discussed the future of the company, even aspects that
didn't involve this universe. I am impressed at their willingness to listen to us, even if it is a small amount.

what i would like.. is you know how you can hit certain F keys to make certain areas of the browser "dissapear" to widen your are of
vision, I think it would be cool if there was one for the chat screen, or one that would at lest resize it for you to one line, for
building or exploring, whatnot.

but what about AW? nothing ever goes on there.. same with AWGate. Yellow & Mars appear higher up on the world list often times and
they don't have events either.. But it is true that events make the world grow imensely, look at AWTeen, I can't stand the design,
nor a lot of the people who go there, or even how it is run for that matter, but because they always have events I even find myself
looking around every once in a while..
