Now that everyone has retired for the evening and the screaming in now just
quiet chatter, I would just like to say that there has to be another way
around this problem. First, there has been no mention of what the renewal
rate on citizenship will be for those of us who are already citizens. I pray
that those at AWCom will cut us some slack on the finances, if for no other
reason, but that we, the citizens, are the reason that AW has thrived as
long as it has. Without us.....there would be no Activeworlds. I do believe
that the upgrades are necessary to keep AW ticking so I do agree that there
is definately a need for more profit instead of loss, so I'm willing to pay
a little bit more per year (not month) to keep it's beautiful little heart
ticking. However, that doesn't mean I'm willing to pay anything above a 50%
increase ($29.95/yr). Come Jan 3, 2003 if you need to boost it a bit more,
I'm sure I would be flexible then too. Just remember this E N Z
O.........pigs get fed.....but hogs get slaughtered :o)

I've been looking around at these online petitions and surveying the GZs to
see what public opinion seems to be, and I came across something
interesting.

Go to http://www.petitiononline.com/, where that AW petition is hosted.
They have a list of the top 10 petitions for each day. Out of thousands of
petitions about topics ranging from the abolishment of nuclear weapons to
bringing Final Fantasy X to the Gamecube, take a look at the #1 most active
petition right now.

I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with the petition; in fact, I'm
waiting for the citizen price plan to make judgement. I'm just pointing out
something interesting.

We do not need to worry for petitions that are not discussed in the NG,
do we? If there is anything to be suggested, it should be done here or
eventually in private sending an email to activeworlds

I agree, but it seems that you and I are in the minority - a heck of a lot
of people signed that petition.

Read the FAQ at http://www.activeworlds.com/tech/faq.asp
They come right out in that FAQ and say the renewal price when current
citizenships expire will be $9.50 per month.
