I recently came across an interesting article called "Changes" in the
WhyHistory section of the Times archives (click Search at the top of the front page). In
the article, actingup9 interviewed Amanda, Giggler01 (before she was
Senator), bbdd
and kc12, and each person talked about how Whyville had changed through
the years.
Most
of the people interviewed said that what they missed the most from the
"olden days" was the way people
were treated. Amanda (who has been a member since 1999!!) said no one
treated others badly and there were only designated topics they could
talk about in designated room at designated times.
I thought, wouldn't that be awesome if we could just experience one
week
like that? One week with regular face parts banned -- we could
only use parts that were available in the year 1999 and maybe 2000.
Everybody would only talk about music, or the weather
or whatever, and nobody could criticize each other because it wouldn't
be
allowed. And there would be nothing to criticise because as Amanda said
in the
article, everybody looked like one another!!!
City Hall has thought about having a "Newbie Day" where everyone was
just a
tater head. Newbie Days do occasionally happen when the
server goes down, but that's not what I'm thinking about here.
Maybe this isn't a great idea because now there are so many more
people,
but I'd like it if we could have more than one room with specific
topics for chatting. It could be "1999 week" or "Past week" or
whatever. The
City Workers are much more creative than I. ;-)
Think about it. Sometimes to see the future, we must see the
past. (I'm not good
at writing something serious. :-)
Post your ideas in the BBS. You never know when something might
happen.
