Recently, I was making the effort of reserving the Disco for a friend's wedding. To my surprise, the place was booked solid for every day I checked. Then I went to the Club Why chat room, where there were about four people -- and none of them were the well-respected oldbies I remembered. It occurred to me that Club Why, since I began in Whyville, had become a common thing.

I'm not into every single event in Whyville -- in fact, I couldn't care less about this Senate thing. The one activity I was involved in, the oh-so-special, off-limits parts of Whyville that I had previously strived to enter, was no longer the cool thing I had remembered. And for this, I am purely upset at Whyville.

Editor's Note: As more and more folks learn how great Whyville is, more and more people will succeed at getting a lot of clams and then pay for the right and privilege to be a Club Why member.?? Isn't it an opportunity, as well as a responsibility, for our more veteran citizens such as yourself to help our new citizens, young and old??? If you help them, then you'll have a better chance of becoming one of those well-respected oldbies you look up to yourself!

On a side note, I remember the day when anybody who'd been with Whyville for one year was considered an oldbie.?? I'm curious, what does it take to be an oldbie these days??? Oh, and is being a veteran citizen something different??? Why?
