It's Not That Bad

It's Roxystars here again, trying to get published. Well, here is my story. It
was just another day when I was having my usual fun in Whyville. I
had decided to go and look at some petitions. Lately, I have read a lot of them
saying, "whypass sux", "no more waitng room", or even "Why not have a chat in
the waiting room".
I thought about signing these petitions and I thought about Whyville.
And I thought back.
A couple of weeks ago, when I first joined Whyville, I wrote an article asking why not have a chat in the waiting room and why not cut down on the ads, put some more pictures in?
My article wasn't published -- but it was answered by city-management. They said:
"You are right, the Waiting Room is boring. Very boring. But it is boring
for a reason. Let me explain.
You see, the whole reason for the Waiting Room is because Whyville is
getting too popular for our one little computer to handle. If we let
everyone on to Whyville at the same time, our computer would crash. So, we
made the Waiting Room, where you could read the paper, and try logging in
again later.
The problem is that anything that is interesting takes up computer time.
So, if we had hundreds of citizens sitting in the Waiting Room doing
something interesting, it would be as hard on our computer as having these
citizens right inside of Whyville. And the computer would crash.
That's why we can't put anything very fun in the Waiting Room. We could
only have very basic things.
We wish we could, but we can't, for the sake of our poor computer.
Hope you understand!
City Management"
It completely shocked me. I thought, why was I being so inconsiderate? After
that, I read many articles. Complaints and petition against the waiting
room and Why-Passes. City workers have already been over this with us about
the passes and the waiting room, over and over and over again.
After all, I have met the waiting room and have gotten to know it, and I have grown
pretty fond of it. If you don't want to wait in the waiting room, embrace the
chance of a getting Why-Pass. The waiting room is a part of Whyville and it
might always be (it's a gap, the separation between our world and the world of Whyville). We should accept that that's how the world works.
