Who misses this place; and everyone in it?
I do. I miss this place a whole bunch. I miss the hours I'd spend on here talking to friends, regardless of the drama. I miss looking forward to come here everyday to post, spend time with people I can't normally spend time with, watching the site grow. But now I'm only watching it decay, and it saddens me. We've all moved on, we've all grown up, and this place is left to be a ghost town of memories. I love you. All. So much. And I miss you.

If anyone ever decides to come back on for one last time, and if there's even a chance you might want to talk to me again, here are my social medias:

New W-Shop item costs 10,000 KC and potential buyers are searching their wallets!

The latest addition to the W-Shop is the Kinzville Movie Theater for 10,000 KC.

Members are noticing that at the bottom it says that Prizes are only available during an active promotion. Sounds interesting, right, but can't afford the 10,000KC? Don't forget, that at the W-Shop, you can use coupons to help cut the high cost of the Kinzville Movie Theater, unlike at the Curio Shop where coupons are not accepted.

Today is a Super School Day @ the Academy!
It's the middle of the week, and even though some of you may be on Spring Break, Ms. Cowoline says that it's time to earn extra credit at the Kinzville Academy today, March 27th. Welcome to another Super School Day!

Each time your webkinz completes the class, they receive two credits versus the standard one credit for completion. These days are wonderful because your webkinz can earn their diploma just a little bit faster.
