Well if it is that openvmk that was linked earlier in the thread, it is shut down, and I never got a chance to see it. I assume they probably got a cease and desist. The folks that built "Mouse World" in Second Life, good friends of mine (and I did some work and consulting for them) suffered a similar state.

Aww, it is, I just went and clicked and you are right. Too bad. I wonder why the first VMK was ok? Do you know if that was an official site of Disney?

Indeed it was an officially run Disney site. I believe VMK went away shortly after the acquisition of Club Penguin, as those two things were pretty much competing for the same market (children). Of course this ignores that much of the VMK population were adults who were nostalgic about the Parks and often played alongside their children on different computers.

Ah, that makes sense. My niece loved Club Penguin when she was younger.

I loved VMK. I played it with my daughters and made some online friends that I met at Disneyland when I was out there. Marty Moose here and on VMK! My oldest played and she was poptartpirate.
