Well the previous owners did not really appreciate what everyone was doing to sustain AW. This community has held itself together and spawned other communities elsewhere too. You can say that AW fathered a lot of Malaysian online communities. Had the investment gone in to grow AW, we might have grown to be like the AirAsia of the cyberworld! Now we are split all over the place. Still it is good that the new owners of AW now take it very seriously. Long live AW!
