Although I can agree that this service might not be fully utilised by some,
it is available to those area's that have cable. In addition many enjoy free
call after 1800 GMT.

with over 500 sounds and effects.

Happy Building

Dec 17, 2001, 12:23am

All yards have there merits, let it be small or large.

We just had accumulated so many jpgs over the years abd people where always
wanting them so we decided to put in aw for all to use.

Eventually we will cover the total area we covered as we add more jpgs/
sounds, at present we cover a lot 70x30 sectors and can go up to 100x100
which we proberly will reach the end of next year..

Its our way of putting something into the community for the pleasure it give
us and our builders.

Dec 18, 2001, 9:07am

The community is the sense of belonging to something, something that one can
share with others of like minded people.

It does not matter if your young, old or whatever, the important item is
that the sharing of a common goal and a common ideal.

How many time have we seen in this newsgroup the flaming or members purely
on grounds of bad grammar or age, does it really matter? the importance is
the point the member is stating. Not the way it is presented, leave that to
academia.

Those that support the community know that helping each other forms the
basis of what the community stands for, let it be volunteers, object
donators and those that give up time to present events. Those that seek
power and status through positions in the community are destructive to the
community.

How many of us can say "Today I helped a member" or "What can I do to help
the community". Or as a result of the rapid expansion of worlds, not only
private but also aw based created a sense off being lost in virtual reality?
Perhaps it time for AW to create folders where worlds can be categorized so
members can find like minded members that share their interests.

If one cannot share interests the Universe is failing, perhaps AW should
look at how the community functions and not just from the members in
positions, from the grass roots of the membership! In a recent survey I
conducted it was surprising many felt that AW was not supporting the
community in some areas, many stated they would not turn to AW for help but
rather seek support from the community. Is there a lesson here for AW?.

Anyway there is my input.

Yes, not my option, but the results from the survey. This showed in times of
problems within the Universe respondents would turn to other members to help
on a wide range of topics that effected their enjoyment of AW.

This in itself displays the Community from within.

As this survey was conducted as part of a business proposal I have no
intention of disclosing any results apart from general observations made by
respondents.

Im sure you understand the need for some confidencialaltiy both for the
respondents and commercially.

Sure thing Brant, world bans from the worlds effected would be sufficient
unless as you state activities relating to illegal activities have been
proven, proven been the operative word here, and then let AWcorp handle the
situation.

World owners can insert IP on ban lists as their right As Data is the
Technical support board member for dreamlandpark he should be aware of the
procedure to acquire a members IP number. But reinstating a world ban from
the proven worlds that have been vandalised would be suffice.

Then prove is any illegal client or methods have been used.

I think you share what some people feel there Brant, I have noticed over the
month in the Newsgroups good discusions and a lack of obnoxious foul words
and attacks of newbies. Personally I think the newsgroups are a better place
now.

As you will no dought agree people are now starting to post some good
threads without fear of being ridiculed and made a subject of attacks from a
foul mouth.

Why close my worlds? I spent good money and time building them, doing what
you advice only makes aw a worse place to be.

I like a great deal of world owners are waiting to see what is produced in
feb to decide what happens instead of geting on the bandwagon of panic. Wipe
my world no way will we do that.

Despite this panic, I wait with others to see what is happening in Feb 2002
before anything is decided.

Some good points here I think
Coming from a marketing/ tech background it is surprising the lost
opportunities that have been passed by, even free ones. In no way do I pass
judgmenton aw and its marketing policy. But as your state nearly all come
across AW by friend or falling across it.

Evidence is there to support this in when aw recived a mention in the UK aw
was flooded with people (I beleave over 700 where seen, total users in
Universe)

AW as I have always stated not USA it is a global membership, if AW cannot
look beyond the USA market place it is dooomed.

Its all out there for the taking, get writing good press releases, get the
press in, get free mentions on TV.

If you want to survive as we all want you have to look around and see the
opportunities for marketing, see the competitors and as we all are aware
produce a cost effective product that relects it membership.

Thanks for reading

Float and AVRquest have given over AVRlinn to public building with the new
objects provided in the new aw path.

We have constructed a small suburb in which if anyone is interested, mainly
non builders of those wanting a house they can call their own in a private
world this might be a solution.

We rename the objects owners to new citnum, this allows for full
customization of houses and the grounds..

Only thing we ask is to keep it in context with world..

Yep thats a sign of the times...

Many panaiced and left AW to other places, sadley any free cits connected
with them worlds are gone as well, you could have renewed that cit under
your own name when that time came, hence making you a "legal" owner of a
free world cit.

End of the day its the one who pays has the upper hand. Mind you with the
thread here im not surprised someone doesent take the name and sell it to
you..

Humm interesting I was under the impresion this thread refered to AW, from
my understanding DLP builds ate in datas name as he is a member of the
universe board I dont see anyone taking a cit away from a technical and
educational officer of any Universe.

In fact a technical officer should if this refered to the said Universe
should be able to see such information.

O/k I'm one of the many aw cits that are waiting to see what happens.

To the point you make about going to red status world, we have public
building worlds in which we have approximately 60 builders. If we take all
this advice it will hurt aw? no way the only people it hurts is the builders
and we will never do this.

We shall always remain open to provide to our builders and the community,
public building worlds.

AW is just doing what other virtual environments have done for years, visit
the realm, or dreamscape yes there is some you don't pay, but look at the
quality and services.

Perhaps as many say aw don't listen, if this is the case why bother
upgrading the client software to put new facilities that people have asked
for?

Try going to Microsoft or any other commercial software house and ask for
something to be put in the software!

Yes might happen, but you pay for it at the shop counter.

Perhaps we have had it so good for so long now its catching up with us.

Thanks Miles

Part of perhaps the problem is the community can be fragmented with so many
trying to do so much to help aw in some way.

Each thread brings new views, after all we are some global community.

Most of the places I have visited, like the ones I have mentioned all
require that elusive CC detail before you get your feet in the door. In fact
I have used such systems and canceled the account during the trail period
and have had no problems. But then I have a cc/debit card.

In looking round I found some AW style uni's dont even accept that cc/debit
card, and you have to post your "Payment" this I find unaceptable (not being
in USA) .

O well Miles best of luck with the protest

Hi All,

With an extension to our already massive collection of jpg's in aw, AVRquest
and Float worlds have opened a vast greeting card site adjacent to the site.

We have included also a selection of cards to appeal to our international
users in their native language, i.e.: Dutch, Spanish, Japanese and Russian.
This selection we are extending to cater for all members of the community.

Also we are creating a selection of digital art and including jpg's of works
or art by artists (Dali, Van Gogh etc)

A special feature to this site is the ability to send any of the greeting
card jpg's displayed as a email greeting card if you are aware of the
recipients email address. Instructions are placed at the Greeting Card
Directory area.

This collection is always been extended and we welcome suggestion's for
inclusion.

We are located at aw 3157.5N 1095.5W 0.0a 0 for the greeting cards

Our normal collection aw 3152.8N 1067.5W 0.0a 269
