Hello, my fellow Whyvillian. I'm glad you're taking the time to read my article.

I want to talk to you about people asking you for your personal information. Just lately, someone came up to me and asked me for my mom's credit card number!

I was shocked to see someone ask me for such a thing! I told him/her no, but then the person said, tell me your mom's credit card number and I'll tell you my mom's credit card number!!! I was even more shocked, but at the same time I was laughing. I mean, how dumb does this Whyvillian think I am??? Asking me for my mom's credit card number!??

I'm writing this article to tell all Whyvillians, oldies and newbies, that if anyone, ANYONE asks you for personal information in or outside of Whyville never, never, never give it to them!!!

Note from City Hall: Thanks for your report!! And don't forget to 911 report anyone in Whyville who asks for this kind of info! If they ask for your credit card information, we can actually tell the police -- that's credit card theft, and is totally illegal!

I don't know who it was, but people were going around saying that if you push alt and f4 you'd get 200,000 clams. Don't do it, because it just takes you off the internet. (Closes your browser window if you're using a PC or Internet Explorer.) To tell the truth, I did it just to see what would happen and now I regret it.

Thanx for your time.

WiccanGal here with a complaint to some of the petition writers. I read Pokenorn's petition -- she is upset with the people who offer clams for people to sign their stuff. I can see her point. I mean, I get tired of it. And also, THEY DON'T EVEN GIVE YOU THE CLAMS!!! Poor newbies sometimes read this and get their hopes up, saying, "I'm gonna get me 500 clams or so!" and they wait and wait and wait and never get it. That is just cruel.

Also, it is just a loophole to get your petition through. Some of the people who do this have good ideas -- I like the one about the mall. But when you offer money, City Hall says that they can't and won't take this seriously. Some of you may not believe them (I'm still a little on the iffy side about that) but it gives them an excuse to just not look at your great ideas!!!

If you want people to sign your petition, advertise it. I also don't like the bf/gf petitions. I think that Whyville should make a special place to look for that or something in the newspaper for that. I think that the gf/bf thing, the things you want, and roommates can qualify for that.

I have to go, c-ya.

Hey all! This is hottgrl69 and I'm just telling you never EVER let anyone know your password!! I'm serious. I have just received a y-mail from Whyville saying that someone filed a report on me accusing me of saying some words that I would never say. Of course, I quickly changed my password and I plan to ask all my friends if they know who did this. If you don't want someone to say things that might offend you or other people, please, don't give out your password! This gives someone other than you access to say things that you wouldn't say. This has destroyed my trust in some of my friends! And to all the people that were offended by other people's actions using my account, I am sorry.

This is hottgrl69 and I'll see you lata!!

Hello everybody! I just want to say, Shame on you who are all making fun of SkUmBaG68. Mostly all his article said was, don't give away your password or all will be lost. Yes, he did say he would hack you, except it was sort of a warning.

I am sure all of you have written an article on bullies or read one and have related to it... well, now you have become a bully to SkUmBaG68. And I just want to say: I am sorry, SkUmBaG68, and I will be your friend if they won't.

Well, I have to go and finish my homework. This is Poptartz, gotta go!

Never have an easy password, because I had an easy password and someone hacked me! Well, I got on one time so I guess that person didn't change it or something. But I changed my password when I got in there! Just be careful, people are just waiting to attack!

See ya!! (and be careful!)
