It would be cowardly to just leave. If he sticks around and takes
responsibility for his actions, then I have greater respect for him as a
person than if he just walked away. As you say, actions speak louder than
words. :)

It is a big gamble though, Bowen. But I believe based on past business
decisions of others that I know that this gamble will pay off very well.
Advertising and lowering prices increases demand for the product. Raising
them increases demand for a substitute product. Economics, you gotta love
it.
AWC will have far more to lose if they go this path, but they have a greater
percentage of surviving. Playing it safe never got us to the moon, you
know.

To add weight to what Goober has said (and my first post here in a month),
just compare what people are saying about "management" on these newsgroups
with the discussion boards at starwarsgalaxies.com.
Both products--Active Worlds and Galaxies--are community-based. At the
moment, only those genuinely interested in the game (not casual SW fans)
post there and comment on the decisions that their management does. The
management listens to them and implements many of their ideas, and so you
don't see the negative posts that you do here. The community there is
happy. And the end result is a better product.
In other words, when you're working with a community-based product like
Active Worlds or Galaxies, you can't go wrong to please your customers, i.e.
the community. Happy is profitable. :) Heck I'll go as far to say that
community-driven development is the future of software design.

I thought that this article would be worth sharing. LamdaMOO was one of the
first virtual communities on what later became the Internet. There are many
interesting parallels that LamdaMOO's and Active Worlds' histories have, as
well as a glimpse into what could be AW's future. Let's change that future
though before the system entirely breaks down and learn from LamdaMOO's
mistakes. :)
