I don't know if AWI will read this post, but as a user,
I have some ideas, and this is one of them.
I am sure AWI have come across this idea a long time ago, but...
AWI need to get more Citizens, and the Citizens more fun,
not that we don't have already have a lot of fun, but it won't hurt to have
more.
When I look at 3dcafe, 3dlink, ans other sites of this kind, they all have
Banners. You might think I will suggest that AW should have banner? But I
won't.
My thought is this, why don't AWI start a Banner Service, that we as users
can do a Registration and get our websites official AW Banners,
These banners can be pictures of world of month,
and so on, with description, Join Us, or what ever.
As user of this, all activity of your banner will give counts at AW's banner
service.
And what do you get of this as a user?
This can be done many ways, I will mention two.
Let say your Banner has been shown 100.000 times,
this will give you a reward of 1 month extension of your ID ( Just an
Idea ),
And another prize that you can choose at your banner account at AWI.
Like raise your bot account with 1, 2,...3, All depends on how many points
you have.
Or how many times your banners have made people visit activeworlds.com.
This maybe sounds silly, but this will give Activeworlds, more Advertising,
and we will have more users.

Just a note, banner tracking and database would be on the AWI server, so
fake banners don't count.

Pop up... one word... pop up... a banner would be a bad thing... My daughter
uses a teen chat room... and she does nothing but intercept popups and
advertising... and webspies... and viruses..... Banners are a really bad
idea ... All the money we are putting into the worlds... and you want
banners... another way for sleezy advertising to snake unwanted in. I found
xupiter on both her computer and mine... with lots of adult site stuff...
and we didn't go looking for it either... I was really offended.. but I had
no way to stop it ... All that stuff is like a disease... and banners will
get us there... No, don't think banners are the way to go.

Better avatars... or the ability to make avatars of the quality of the
homepage ones... now... that would catch an eye...
I want to be the guy / girl that makes them... if only I had the way... If
only... That's my wish.

engine browser.

Well, not all use yahoo including me, but the idea is not about advertising
at company page, but at users web page, and more your banner will show, or
be used, then more points you get at Activeworlds inc. banner service.

I suggested the same thing awhile ago. And then AW could give you say
5cents for every click that goes toward a citizenship renewal or something.

Similar to being an official AW distributor, each time you bring someone
into AW you recieve a share of the profits made. At least thats what its
like in some sections of AW.
