Greetings my fellow Whyvillians! Allow me to discuss something that will be an amazing discovery if I'm right, or completely humiliating if I'm wrong (or someone has already written about it).
Let's get to the point here: the name of my article basically describes more than everything I want to cover. Why? Allow me to explain: If you are a computer nerd like me, you will know that a domain name is the name of a website. www.example.egg is a good example, however .egg is not a real erm... whatever they're called. The reason it covers more is because I am talking about the thing that is between http:// and .whyville.net. The "www."
We all know that something can replace the "www" in the domain name. Ever look at the whyville domain name and see that "b" replacing the "www." Do you ever ask yourself "what is 'b'? I'm not entirely sure myself, so allow me to express my theory with you. I have observed every letter from b to i (except e and f) in the domain names. I have bunched them up into categories. Let us see what I have hypothesized:
B, g, h, i - when you scroll over hyperlinks on Whyville, you will always see these letters. B is for the welcome page mainly, whilst g and h are mostly the links under the java applications (that link to related rooms). I links to the y-mail page
b (second usage) - for most pages, b.whyville.net/smmk/signinparse is the web address in the address bar
c - c loads all the images
d - not only is the times located at d.whyville.net, but it also hosts the java applications and the y-mail server. Judging by that d has the hardest job.
By now you are thinking that I am a crazy person, but next time you see a loading image, look for "loading images from c.whyville.net," or when you scroll over a link look for g, h, and i. B and d pop up everywhere so they're not to hard to spot.
Until next time, keep those servers serving!
