Online Worlds > VFK Upcoming Events and New Items
New Room and Advertising has started
KingQuackATac:
I'd rather there be a some advertising/partnerships than VFK raising the pay-to-play price or making all players pay-to-play.
I'm giving VFK the benefit of the doubt here. They never said they were running a charitable/non-profit game.

I agree, I do hope they keep advertising somewhat educational in one form or another though. At least it's not for Toontown :lolg: (no offense to anyone who does like Toon. I, myself, just couldn't get into that one)

Hmm, this is interesting. We have been going to Accuweather for information ever since the aftermath of Hurricane Charley. They had actually been predicting the right hand turn that the storm ended up taking. We track the hurricanes' paths each season with the kids on the map and we are registered on Accukidz because they sometimes have good teacher info. and weather games and contests.
I don't remember having to give our address when signing up, so I went through the registration process again just in case I did not remember correctly. It only asks for an E-Mail address and zip code. (along with your desired username and password) So, I am guessing that is what this child meant when they said, "They want my address.".
Oh, and funfly, your comment made me think of a funny VMK memory. I remember SkippyPaul putting a "boogie" on the Toontown advertisement in the Esplanade! This was, of course, after the announcement of the closing. :rofl1:

When you sign up on accukidz she said you need the word team in your title. This way they know you are from VFK. She says there will be special games and quests and prizes but they need the word team in your title.

last night i witnessed something that happened with the "accuweather" staff that had me concerned. She spent the evening trying to get kids to sign up to their accukidz site. She was pushing it big time and there would be special items for signing up so on. Well, this kid says I just tried and it wants my address and my parent says i can not give my address. That "staff" person spoke up and said put in a fake address but it's important to use your real zip code. I spoke up with a big WAIT! I said to the kid you should not go against what your parents tell you to do and you should listen to them. Well the "staff" person got all nervous and flustered and started to type lots of stuff covering her butt. She said oh yes please ask your parent first. I assumed you had asked them to type in a fake address. Others in the room was commenting on what she had said which seemed to get her more flustered. I am VERY concerned that in their goal to advertise they are pushing too hard and telling kids things they should not. She clearly regretted her comment.

That's just lovely. New staff encouraging kids not to listen to their parents and to lie.
