You Go Jeffrey. I absolutely undeniably completely and thouroughly dispise
AOL.
Need to re-install your software again lately AOL users?
[View Quote] P.S.: I am making a page with a list of reasons why I don't like AOL and
why no one else should believe the hype in commercials, I will post it when
finished.

(Now watch this thread get flooded with those AOL freaks)

P.S.: I understand that some of you have no choice but to use AOL if so I
feel sorry for you. When my page is up give it to your parents.

[View Quote] > Simple: I'd make NAC property deletable like then-COF bullshitted its
users into believing before buying citizenships. Of course I'd get rid of
charging for citizenship as well, relying instead on the REAL moneymakers:
galaxy/universe servers. If AW is ever going to get popular, it's going to
have to become more free. One word (acronym): ICQ. Just think how popular AW
would have been if it didn't start charging. The user count prior to
charging was around 200,000 for the 2 or so years AW had existed. In double
the time, AW has only grown to 304,563 (around 104,563 "new" users).
However, note that a lot of these "new" users are duplicate accounts, free
accounts (like that come with worlds), event-specific accounts (like when
The 13th Floor premiered with all those Pepsi### "citizens"), etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, if AW could have grown legitimentally without bloated user counts
and misleading/false advertising in their press releases, perhaps larger
companies like Yahoo!, AOL, or even

look at the 3D gaming industry is all that's needed here. 3D is overtaking
the computer gaming industry and compared to most current 3D games, AW looks
like shit. I could go on and on about AW's lack of 3D engine and user
interface development, but you can read all about it at
http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/ if you're that bored.

what about vandalism? I have not had trouble in this area that I have not

this, don't just blurt it out.
development, I would be concentrating on getting RW3 implemented (which
Roland is supposedly doing finally) and if I didn't feel it could live up to
a performance improvement, I'd dump it and go with another 3D engine. I
would not have added file transfer or done the lame at mart wanna-be
"e-commerce" thing and would have instead focused Roland's energy towards
getting OLD AW bugs fixed, including most listed at
http://tnlc.com/eep/aw/improve.html
CREATED AW...and I probably never would've teamed up with Cryonics. ;) I'd
keep Shamus and Cal though, of course. E N Z O is up in the air though...I'd
have to see if he still had the AW vision I once thought he did at one time
long ago.
that butt-ugly seamed grass texture, and possibly raise the ground up .3m so
things actually look LEVEL, providing the effect didn't destroy everyone's
creations. (If necessary, all panels--or everything) at 0 or -.3m altitude
could be raised .3m to accomodate the ground height change.
causing more harm than good. Instead I would "preach" common sense when
dealing with idiots, and make sure everyone knows how to mute someone. I
would also have Roland implement a mute option for people listed in the
whisper list, and add a "mute all tourists" and "mute all" options.
a dialog between them, me, and AW's developers (Roland and HamFon) to move
AW in a direction more towards the community and not to faceless
corps/organizations just because they may have more money. Money doesn't run
AW; community does. Without community (what little AW may have), AW would
die. Period. I would have Roland give me status reports of exactly what he's
working on to see that things are actually being accomplished. With HamFon
working on AW now, hopefully things will get implemented/fixed faster, but
we'll see.
post in here...they don't. They have their own priorities and agenda for
AW...and it ain't to fix all of these annoying bugs to make AW life easier,
either.
