Well, I haven't been active on Whyville or posting on here. It's been a while. But I still somehow can't give it up. I have considered giving my blog to someone who'd like to actively post on it, but I'm attached (is that sad? lol). Anyway, I just had to come on Whyville in March to get my medals (four year veteran on jelloroks woot woot), and I thought, why not check up on my blog. Anyway, enough about me. Here's some new (ish) stuff that's been going on in Whyville.

• See when other whyvillians are typing in chat. A cute little purple pen shows up.
• Whyville's 14 years old!
• Whyville app coming soon? Tesract says they're working on it!
• The gallery in the times has been getting used more! Yay for a budding artist like me ;)
• Raven Island Treasure Hunt: I think it was two weeks ago this happened. I don't know if this was a one-time thing, or if it will happen again, but I hope it will! That weekend, little gifts popped up around Raven Island and you could have won projectiles, clams, pearls, and face factory vouchers.
• ACT Career Club/Career Quest
• AMD Game Zone: Wand Games. Play or create your own game for a chance to win awesome prizes like an x-box 360 with kinect, a lenovo laptop, or a wii u!
• Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. Partners in the Wellness Clam Storm and creating new games to help kids and teens deal with stress.
• Bankinter: Due to extreme inflation in Whyville, you can only earn a maximum of  500,000 clams of interest in your savings. Psh. "Only". So if you have any more than 5 million clams in your savings, the rest won't get you any interest. Also, you can have up to five CD's open at once and each can only have 1 million clams in it.
• New "sent" box in y-mail. Been wanting this for a long time!
• "Did you mean _____?" in city records. Awesome for me because I make frequent typos :p
• Robot Checkers players, meaning you can play against a computer when you don't have any friends (like me)
• Reef runs on Flash and Java
• New colour palette in the Face Factory
• Trading post: Works with Flash or Java, old parts' dates are not reset, and designer's name is shown.

Phew! I think I got 'em all. I now see that the city workers have been very busy while I was gone. I hope to start posting again. I'm trying my best!

More BBS Updates!

So at the beginning of November, whyville city worker, Tesract, announced some more updates to the forums which include:

Paginated search results- More accurate search results

Quotes from "city hall" now appear correctly

Spellcheck for username searches- This one's kind of obvious. Everyone will spell their friend's username wrong at least once! I don't know about you, but I find it hard to remember hawtgirl132532. :P

Adjusted post length minimum to 1 character- Remember when you had to put "too short to be useful" or a bunch of spaces after your posting? After we got the updates, those spaces didn't work, so you had to put characters or codes. Now you don't have to do that. Your post can be as short as one character.

Post speed limits (3 posts / 2 minutes)- This is a good one to prevent double/triple posting and spam

Extra wide posts now get a scroll bar instead of breaking formatting- No more page stretches! Now we have a convenient scroll bar.

I would like to thank the city workers for implementing these awesome updates and for listening to our suggestions. (Tesract and Keine, I'm talking to you. ;D)

I would also like to apologize for my lack of posting on this blog. I've been busy and just plain lazy. My bad. :P
