An idea...
This hasn't really occured to a lot of people, but I've known people who
have done it. In the interest of preserving our community... If people run
a clan for some other game, and it's not an MMORPG, they should bring them
to AW to have "interactive meetings" :) That will get people in to see the
technology and perhaps they will subscribe as well.
