Hi everyone, I'm putting together a feature on 2001 for awnews.com and I
could use the input of the community. Basically, this is your chance to
spill your guts on such 2001 topics as, AW 3.1, the state of Activeworlds,
etc. :) HAS to be aw related or else I'm not responsible for any flames and
such that you recieve. :) In a nutshell, what is everyone thinking about
what is going to happen with Activeworlds in 2001 for better or for worse?
Thanks for your time, patience, and any input you can give. :)

Happy New Years, Chinese and traditional!

Ok, I'll shoot. Of course, what I predict will happen and what I *wish*
would happen are two totally different things. :P

1. AW 3.1's release will cause a slight increase in interest, but after
about a month or so, will dwindle back down to almost nil.

2. The infection known as "Juno" will spread throughout the AW Universe,
rendering the entire AW population even more stupid.

3. Organizations will rise and fall within the span of a month.

4. The community newsgroup will become moderated again, this time by an
*actual* moderator!

5. COF will continue ignoring it's own customers in favor of trying to
woo larger corporations into partnerships. Next target: AOL/Time/Warner

6. UTN will continue to gain prominence in the AW community, eventually
taking over operation of AW ComReg! *cackle*

Ok, so maybe that last one was wishful thinking. But hey, a guy can
dream, right? :)

If AW takes AOL on board, does that mean we will have to reconnect to AW
every 20 minutes?
If it looks like AW is talking to AOL I'm going to start looking for an
alternative program to AW.
I will not download anything with AOL on it to my computer, since AOL is a
virus in it self.

I predict that, eep will have some kind of punctuation complaint by the end
of the first week of 2001.
I predict

Imagine :)

Here are my predictions for the New Year... :-p

-AW will experience downtime. AW and other AWCom public building worlds will
be taken offline unexpectedly. Angry citizens will flock to AWGate and
constantly ask "what happened to aw??!?!?!"

-After that, I'm guessing about a week or two later, even more downtime for
AW and various worlds...

That's pretty much it...nothing too special.
