MrGrimm asked me "Why are you so obsessed with Alpha World?"

I have a few reasons. It's sheer size, for one. It's the only world large
enough that allows you to build a town almost limitlessly. It's Active
Worlds' flagship world. This world USED to be all of Active Worlds. A
world of this size was made for keeping an online community together as
well. When AWI decided to put more emphasis on private worlds, there went
the community. They got tired of how Alpha World was being neglected, so
they went off to private worlds. And rick, don't tell me that active
worlds isn't intended to be a community like what you said sometime last
november. It says on the main page "The Active Worlds Universe is a
community."

Look at AWTeen, and all the attention it is getting. Why can't the flagship
world of Active Worlds have that same attention? What about an object
submission program for Alpha World? What about an active staff? I'm just
saying, if people really want a community again, then more focus needs to be
put back on Alpha World.

Right now: AW = 15 users AWTeen = 3 users and this is at 3am!
In my opinion, AWTeen has gone downhill over the past year :((

Your timing is a little off... I regularly see AWTeen top AW during the evening/afternoon hours.

Even so, a lot of people build there more often than anything. The
terrain rights are great. However, AWTeen in general, despite the
public building has gone down over the past year :(

Because AWTeen was mainly for teens,adults were welcome -- seeing how kids
arent really suppose to be up at 3am, because of school.. duh. Also prices
went up, meant more kids couldnt pay, less users.

And maybe its also because some of the people that used to frequent
AWTeen may finally be growing up and outgrowing it, or getting grounded,
or something else related. ;)

Yea I do see your point there, but what I'm saying is that people have
said that it has been getting rather dull and whenever I'm there which
is rare, and not at 3am, things have seemed kinda dull eventwise :(

Ugh at you all completely missing the point of my post. This isn't about
AWTeen, this is about the potential Alpha World has.

Thats because most people in AWTeen dropped out of school and need something
to do with their time.
