My summary of AWLD so far:

1. Rude treatment.
2. What seems to be an exaggerated user base. 14,000 according to a programmer in the company vs. 300,000 represented.
3. A desire by the company to keep the figures in No. 2 above under wraps by deleting information from their newsgroups.
4. Company newsgroups at: news://news.activeworlds.com/awcommunity
5. Independent (?) bbs at:
pe.net

6. Company that seems to have only one programmer.
7. There is no adoption of this technology by Amazon.com and this may be the case with other E-Commerce sites.

In addition, I have been unable to locate the following:

1. Any financial statements regarding this company.
2. Any figures related to outstanding shares.
3. Any information regarding its management team or their experience.

I remain interested in it due to the impressive run up I saw last week, but fear that the run up may have been prompted more my the announcement of the opening of a new 3D mall on February 2, and the resulting rush, than due to any fundamental strengths.

I would appreciate it if someone could lead me to information regarding the latter 3 items, and for any new information anyone might have which might disprove some of the negatives I found in my search for information on this company.
