For those of you who don't visit AlphaWorld GZ often or just didn't hear
about it yet, AWCI has created a "Suggestion Box" at
http://www.activeworlds.com/products/suggest.html. I believe an employee
of AWCI actually reads the suggestions that people submit (gasp, what a
concept)! So, if you get no response from AWCI regarding your wishes
here in the wishlist newsgroup (which is probably the case), you can
suggest them using the Suggestion Box. Please note that: "Due to the
large volume of suggestions we receive, we are unable to respond to them
individually." At least AWCI is making SOME progress with this
Suggestion Box idea.

I doubt it's any different than this newsgroup, Builderz. I bet most (if not all) of the emails to this address are immediately deleted (or perhaps archived for some laughs later when Rick and JP are bored and need some entertainment. I mean there's just no way of knowing, but it's obvious from their lack of interaction with THIS newsgroup that they just don't seem to care what we want or think. Rick and JP have their own agenda for AW and it doesn't mean making AW easier to use or having new features unless a corporate customer with lots of money requests them (like NT4 support--uh, what's the point? It's already obsolete anyway considering Win2K is out and XP is in beta. Sure, it'll have OpenGL support, but whoopety do.).

No, what I think people (and MANY people!) need to do is constantly bug Rick, JP, and other AWCIers about ONE specific feature (say full-axis object rotation--without action commands--or overlapping sounds) so much that AWCI gets sick of hearing it requested and finally simply implements it to shut us all up. But such a "campaign" needs to be targeted and consistent--people need to bombard AWCIers with such requests and not let up. Yes, this is a "brute force" approach but I feel it's a last resort option given the attitude AWCI seems to have (or at least presents) towards us and AW's development.

wow what an idea lol.....but theres no point in making a sugestion box
unless your going to read it...i mean, why would they create more junk in to
store away?? from the reputation of the Wishlist NG i think evryone just
thinks AW just doesnt care about our suggestions BUT that doesnt mean it
will always be true no matter what. Bugging them to death MIGHT get them to
listen or all the anoyingness might just get them agricated and mad and
wouldnt really solve anything

(note: on some things i said MIGHT...doesnt mean thats what i think will
happen)

Agreed. What I fail to understand is why they created another suggestion box when they already have one (This group)

Something else that might work: Every citizen send in an itemized list of what they want and why. I don't mean via email, use regular "snail mail". That way, they can't just click delete. They have to actually open the letter before knowing what it's about, and thousands of letters would send quite a message, don't you think? Sure it might cost a little bit for postage, but it might be worth it.

Well, I already have my list at http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/improve.html so if people agree with some, most, or even all of the things on it they should just point AWCI's attention to it, perhaps stating their most desired improvement. However, without ANY response from AW even in this newsgroup I doubt such a campaign will have little to any effect. The more people who bug AWCI on-line AND off-line, the better. AWCI needs checks and balances to keep it in-line with what its MUCH more abundant $20/year users want.
