Now, I don't understand much computer jargon, so can't go into much detail, but take the little head's floating around as proof. Secondly, how many educational sites are their out there that are actually fun? I spend lots of time on Whyville, don't you?

Security on Whyville -- Security on Whyville is very high-tech, and keeps us all safe. As superid said, there aren't many sites out there that would let kids that are known to be kids chat. So, to keep us safe, and let us chat, Whyville Staff has taken many precautions.

The Call Box: Ever use this nifty device? I recommend finding out how to properly. For example, silence can be used so you don't have to hear a certain person for the rest of your visit on Whyville, use this if a person is harassing you or the like. Vaporize can be used so you not only don't have to hear the person, but you don't have to see the person either! 911 Report is to alert City Hall if there is evidence of a serious problem, for example, scamming, asking for personal information, swearing... etc. The Whyville Chat filters are always changing and adapting, so I recommend you just don't bother swearing or bothering other people, unless you want to part with clams, get duct taped, or even be banned.

Whyville Growth -- Whyville has been growing steadily since it opened in 1999, and without one marketing ploy! It all started out by word of mouth, and continued that way. I know! I tell all my friends about Whyville. If Whyville continues this way, we should have about one million members around mid-summer! Mostly middle-school kids are joining, and most of them are... girls!

Chatting On Whyville -- We spoke about chatting on Whyville, like why its necessary. To really learn, you need to be able to discuss the different aspects of what you are trying to learn. If you don't understand something, it makes it easier if you are able to ask for help.

What attracts people to join and stay at Whyville? -- Fashions -- Chatting -- Activities

People start Whyville... they want to look good. They stay for their friends and they nifty activities, like the Whyville Times, Solstice Safari, GeoDig... you know, those fun things we all take part in. Even the Why-Pox is fun -- annoying, but fun. :D

We get sucked into Whyville. I mean, I'm addicted... I have friends who don't get Whyville, but still get on everyday, and know they will continue to get on til they figure it out. I know that once they figure it out, they won't be leaving.

Whyville is challenging; if we enjoy something, we won't quit. I know I am having trouble with... well, WASA in general... but it's challenging, so I don't give up. Because of the activities, we stay.

Other things -- I made sure I asked about one thing that bugged me: the Senator Elections! It's a mess, so I asked if there was any way that the next time the elections roll around we can have a separate petition area for the senatorial platforms. Just to keep it organized, because it was difficult to find them.

Well, I'd better get going. I recommend you try and go to a Town Meeting if there is ever one near you. Lots of fun! Especially if you get to sit between the Dean of Physics and your little sister. ;)

Now my mom is in love with Whyville! I am buying a Whyville tank top next month! :D LOL!

This is Firecat, saying adios.
