Can you give us a brief introduction about who you are?
Ben Udo: Well my name is Ben Udo, I’m the founder of
Avatron Island. I live in Liverpool which is situated in the northwest of England.
Tell us a little about your MMOCC Avatron Island.
Ben Udo: Well we me and a few people from Habbo Hotel (Back in the day lol) were angry at the way Habbo was being run. So we decided that it may be possible for us to make our own MMOCC, we discussed amongst ourselves who would be the owner of this game and we decided that it should be me because of my teamwork skills and profession. So we first decided on a name, I can’t remember who exactly thought of it but we thought of Avatron, anyway then we decided where it would be based. City? Town? Country? No! A summer Island where it’s always hot (H). Anyway we got to work on making plans, graphics, and bought a domain. 6 months into the project a client was made, YES! You heard right a client was made, and then we fell bankrupt and had to give up the server. Silly me forgot to back everything up and our designers didn’t want to speak to us so we were back to square one. As I was still in school and studying for my exams I decided to delay Avatron for some time until I get back on my feet with the cash flow and we could make another attempt. Now 4 months ago we decided to make another attempt, James being the only one that actually believing that we CAN get somewhere, so we all listened to his idea's and they seemed to make sence. So now here we are with a temporary website, a forum, and some members at the beach
Favorite foods? Drinks? Movies? TV shows? Songs?
Ben Udo: Hmm
Food: McDonalds or KFC (I'm a fast food freak)

Any failures your chatting community has faced?
Ben Udo: A few, but there personal I’m afraid
What is your opinion on fan sites? Some tend to release classified information/graphics in order to promote themselves and gain traffic to their website. How will Avatron deal with these types of sites?
Ben Udo: Well if the graphics are not supposed to be released to the public and a fan site happens to get them then we will email them with a warning explaining that we will contact they're host with the information that they are displaying copyrighted images on there website without permission. If they accept the warning and remove images... no action will be taken.
How do you expect to attract more staff and users to your community?
Ben Udo: As for staff, where happy as we are at the moment. We have plans on how to attract users but there secret at the moment, let’s just say they will be registering soon.

Any advice to those wanting to start their own virtual chat?

Where do you see the MMOCC market in ten years?
Ben Udo: I wouldn’t like to say lol
