1260 helps introduce Whyville's new appearance.

Hey everyone! 1260 here, to report the latest news on Whyville. As I'm sure many of you have seen on the welcome page, Whyville has decided to give the site a new look. There will no longer be a plain black background. In this article, I will introduce all of the new features that have been added! Well actually, there's not that many 'new features', but things have been arranged to make operating on Whyville much easier.

First, let's start with the bus.

As you can see below, the bus has been changed to a new, shinier and a more detailed design. It also has 4 buttons above it which I will get into next. In addition to that, instead of the blinking board that used to be on our bus on the old look, there's now a new one which shows the population, time, weather, and how much cash you have! In comparison to the old bus, I have to say I like this new one better: read more...

Eric5675 reports on Whyville's prom.

As you all know, the first Prom to hit Whyville in a few years took over the Sportplatz last Thursday, June 5th, 2008. And what a prom it was! There were four rooms to choose from including the "Prom Party" room, which was a decorated Sportplatz, a "Whyville Theater" room which continuously showed videos about Whyville and played music, a special "Simon Says" room, and of course, the stage!

And what fun would a Prom be without royalty? Everyone voted for there favorites, and congratulations to iamtodd and Nerdishh, Prom King and Queen. There was so much fun, and some room for improvements for next year, so let's look at each room individually, some funny special features, and then the prom as a whole.

First off, the Prom Party!
