Yeah, and at least you can write full sentences here!
Oh, you mean instead of things like: OMG, ROTFL when I went to POTC with my DD5! :lol:
No. I mean more like you can't write anything on that site! It only allows words it recognizes in its "dictionary" so sometimes communication gets difficult. But I guess that there is a lot of OMG, ROTFL etc.

Ah, okay. I thought you were referring to all the shorthand used on so many of these forums including this one. I can't keep up with all that stuff but I know some of it.

I've never played VMK but I've heard about it and seen it is it any good... should I actually take my time to get into it? I am a Disneyholic so seriously if you guys think it's something I should try let me know :)

It's basically filled with a bunch of "tweens" so you're not going to find anyone there really worth talking to about Disney. However, if you have a free hour or two during the weekend, it's neat to explore how they've adapted a combination of all the parks (though heavily themed to DL and DLP) into a multiplayer game. There's also a couple of fun mini-games worth playing at least once.

Not necessarily. I'm not a tween anyway and I was on it for a while. There are some immature people on that site though. But I talked to a few users who seem to really know their Disney trivia and were articulating sentences without using internet lingo.

I haven't tried yet. What's it about? It seems to get mixed reviews from you guys.

I tried it, couldn't get it to work right (or figure it out) and gave up on it.

I love VMK, it wasn't unusual for me to play over 20 hours a week before they closed Disneyland's VMK central. Now, however, I'll visit every couple of days and play a couple of rounds of Haunted Mansion. But that's all.

I preferred the PotC game, myself. Favorite was the Capture the Flag version...

I tried playing it, but my computer didn't like it. It looked kinda cool, but it was too much effort.

Yeah, I liked Capture the Flag too. My computer sometimes wasn't fast enough though, and all the ships would be frozen for five seconds and when the computer caught up finally, my ship had already been shot down. :(

I used it when it was in Beta. I found all 50 ( i think thats the original number) mickeys. Then a college friend and I were on there playing and I wanted to see what words were blacklisted. So I started typing things and figured out you could ask "Will you take a shower with me." Apparently a Community Member was watching what I was saying and I got banned for a few days :D After adding all the new mickeys, I was too lazy to start back up playing.

my daughters love the game. don't know if her PSP will play it though...we are going to attempt it...which would make the PSP all the much more cooler! with the exceptions that it would be only good during the long visits to Starbucks.
