An intresting Review of the first (or one of the very early) AlphaWorld (as
it WAS called). It was the Worlds Chat or something like that before and
this was the new Alpha World chat.....look in my other post about the spy
thing and click some of the "Spy pic" links to see pictures of it. Very
simple hehe :)

May 19, 2001, 2:53pm

i went to www.download.com and searched for "3d chat" (i think) and after
goign through a list of tons of them acutaly found OuterWorlds first
:)....but after being a tourist in OW i diddnt like it (of course i didnt
know anything about AW then). After a while later i tryed again and saw
ActiveWorlds (didnt know it was connected to OW) and after about a week of
being a tourist i became a ciezin (in January 2001)..surpisingly ive only
been in AW for about 4-5 months now and i know how to script...use bots a
lot...and bought a world and have a hosting company.....the got a world
actualy after a week of being a citezin

so theres my AW story :) anyone else wanna tell theres? i'd like to hear one
when AW just started :)

"Fuck off. If you want to "have fun" go to another newsgroup and shit in it.
Leave AW's alone or face my wrath, newbie. And don't bother replying since
you're now filtered."

Im very Pissed becuase its sad that his life has turned into swearing and
insulting everyone he thinks to be "newbies" even though thats just what he
may call them. AW isnt a place for his mouth ether. Posting a funny joke or
something like that doesnt hurt anyone but cussing at them is not right at
all. Its not like hes the "master" of AW's newgroup ether so im not afraid
of his "wrath". I just think someone like that should get off their drugs or
whatver they are taking becuase they are meesaed up in the head, seems like
the only logical explaination.

he NEVER said he wanted the citezinships to be free or anything like that as
brant says "they have to make money somehow"...alls he said is that they
should listen to us users who actualy are the backbone of the program intead
of corprate users

Goober King presents many valid arguments in his July edition of "Stirring
the Virtual Melting Pot". While there are several improvements to be made
to the Activeworlds universe, his article presents some serious flaws.

Goober presents a list of mistakes that AW has made in the past. He
points out that gaining corporate sponsors is one of these "mistakes", while
charging for free citizenships is also a "mistake". Simply put,
Activeworlds has to make money somehow. If Goober wants AW to stop seeking
corporate sponsors, then AW has to charge for citizenships; if citizenships
were to be free, AW would have to rely on advertising and corporate
sponsorship. At least one of these steps has to be taken to ensure that the
bills are paid. Yet, there are those who believe that AW can continue to
exist as a company without a source of revenue.

There seems to be a stigma that AW has poor customer service and does not
try to help the community. In contrast, all of the AW employees I have met
in my experience have been very experienced and helpful. Lucrezia Borgia
has never stopped trying to help people; Mountain Myst has been visible in
the community coordinating events and setting up activities like AWCamp;
Facter and Flagg have provided valuable technical support; and even HamFon
has participated in many behind-the-scenes activities such as programming
the BingoBot. Yet, there are those who believe that AW employees are "out
to get them."

Some believe that the AW universe is "dead and dying". In contrast, I
remember a time just last September when the number of users logged into the
Universe rarely exceeded 500. Today, at the same time of day, the number is
regularly between 600 and 700. Yet, there are those who believe that AW
should by now have millions of users registered.

If AW is not aiming to increase its userbase, then what is the purpose of
releasing its upcoming version 3.2? Take the corporate firewall support
that will be included, for instance. Many AW citizens would like to use AW
at work, and Activeworlds' management is giving them this new option.
Firewall support isn't just for Juno subscribers or for NetTaxi readers or
for other Universe owners, but for all citizens, as is OpenGL support.
Contrary to popular belief, AW is growing and is taking steps to ensure that
its growth continues, and its partnership with Juno is supporting this
growth. I remember a time when the JunoDome world had in excess of 100
people occupying it during a Juno advertising campaign, and I know many
citizens who started out as Juno users. Furthermore, one of the biggest
problems that AW (and the frustrated bot programmer) has faced, the
discrepancy between versions 2.2 and 3.1 of the AW browser, will be
eliminated with the upcoming software renderer. Yet, there are still thse
who will complain that AW is not taking steps to ensure its continued
success.

Looking below, you'll find that there is an article about a petition in AW
that is attempting to lower world prices. I would like to ask the creators
of this petition what lowering world prices would accomplish. Would cutting
the cost of worlds make the community closer? Would charging less increase
AW's revenue so that it can further its development? Would eliminating the
one-time signup fee bring more users to the universe? Absolutely not.
Instead, lowering world prices would simply increase the number of dead
worlds and reduce the number of people who actively participate in the AW
community. And yes, there are also those who believe that lowering world
prices would solve all of the problems of the Universe.

However, despite all the positive things that AW has done for the
community, I find that there are many steps that AW can still take to
increase its userbase, and ultimately, its revenue. First, a stand needs to
be made against troublemakers and those who aim to destroy worlds and to
hack other users. Many worlds have been closed or hindered because of this
sort of cyber-crime. AW needs to enforce its GZ behavior policies, Content
Guidelines, and other various charters and rules more strictly. In
addition, AW employees need to take a more active role in improving the
Peacekeeping of AlphaWorld, as several of the Peacekeepers with which I have
dealt have not handled a situation in a professional manner. In my
experience, some Peacekeepers have been downright rude when I have contacted
them, and their superiors did nothing to correct the problem. Most
importantly, the company needs to moderate its newsgroups. Many a user,
myself included, has left the newsgroups because of a select few citizens
who continue to post inappropriate content that serves only to demean fellow
users, ruining the atmosphere for legitimate debate. In fact, while I had
been aggravated by the arrogance of those citizens in the newsgroups for a
long time, I finally decided to leave the groups after Eep, instead of
debating in a calm manner, flamed my posts on the subject of this article.
In short, troublemakers both in-world and out-of-world destroy the community
feel which is so crucial to AW's success, and AW must take swift and
decisive action against them.

What do I find wrong with Activeworlds' management? In short, very
little. Activeworlds has done what any company tries to do - make money.
While most Internet companies have floundered and become a "passing fad",
Activeworlds Corp. has stayed around for over six years, during which a
tremendous technological change has occurred. Through this change, AW has
secured its place in the 1% of startup companies who survive past their
first year, which in itself is quite a feat. While there are a few areas
that leave room for improvement, I feel that AW has, in general, done a good
job balancing appeasing its customers and securing corporate deals.
Besides, AW currently has many community-friendly activities up its sleeve,
such as new building worlds, an object maker for the AW browser, and more
events, for which Goober King and the citizens who support his letter clamor
ceaselessly. If everyone would work to make the community better instead of
petitioning Activeworlds for what it is already attemping to do, then
perhaps the Universe would be a better place.

even if it does not come with a registry there is a program that can
generate a registry. But the OP has to be on the computer that is running
it. Im not sure what the url is but if you really need to know i could find
