The chief reason being, unfortunately, that there isn't any news to report :P

Why bother, most of your path consists of objects from freebies world and
aw related objects which are all FREE, some of us buy our objects from
modlers, who agree not to share their work with people like you or others,
making one path unique from another. In order to offer modelers support like
this, we ourselves have to generate the funds to keep them going. If a path
service pays others for their time and work performed, it's only right that
the path service provider be compensated one way or another. Remember the
saying "If its free, you get what you pay for"
Path's use bandwidth, each time a person downloads a texture, object or
sound file, this uses bandwidth, which is not free, the trouble with alot of
people in this world is everyone wants something for nothing. We do not get
our website for nothing and since we pay, our pages do not annoy people with
annoying popup adds like alot of the ones i see used in aw from geocities
and tripod.
So say what you like, we pay for services and like your phone company and
internet provider does and yet you have to help pay their bills, by paying
them. Thats called staying in business, just like your citzenship payments
pay AW's bills, even though its us citizens who provide the program with
most of its entertainment.

Maybe they want to use objects they're familiar with. It's like
offering free wood to someone, although it may not be cedar, you can
still use it for pretty much the same thing.

Yes Keeping in buisnuss.. Making AW a moneymaker still.. but the rest free.
I see.
But MrBruce, my OP is full of the freebies within the AW Universe and
outside. All from people who made it freebies. Most of them on my path are
object's that are passworded for my use, which there is no way to get access
to. My path is FREE, full of nice goodies, but still, yes bandwith is a
problem sometimes for a popular world, but I made my path like how it is.
It's a free path that anyone wants to use with all the things they would
want. Even if they want their objects on it, it can be done.
Jun 28, 2003, 7:55pm
Well your reply <snip> "and you dont see me making the people who use it
pay..
that's freaking stupid"
Implyes that those of us who do are infact "stupid" at latest count the
total of objects, the path we provide has over 200,000 models, this is not
counting the masks, .jpgs/textures, seqs, avatars and sound files that are
included. Too many models? Not really, sometimes its better to use one low
poly object to make a gazebo, and save on cell space, then to use 10 or more
cylander objs, to create the same effect, which uses cell space limts up
sooner.
You do not get premium service for nothing.
Lastly, although we do provide all the free objects offered to aw users as a
curtesy to our customers, we also buy alot of objects from AW modelers,
because we support their efforts and their time spent on their work and in
order to afford to pay them, we have to pass that on to our users. In the
long run it allows us to our services better, which is not possible without
paying up for something.
If you can afford to provide your path for free, more power to you, but for
those of us who do are (quote) not stupid.
