Trust me, that was said more than once.
There's a petition out there too.

The tact they were/are taking was that VMK started as a part of the 50th anniversary celebration, and was never intended to be a long term project.
So, thats over, this is over.

It's not still the year of a million dreams in CA?

It is, but Year of a Million Dreams is not the 50th. That's the post-50th theme.

They should create a Disney version of Second Life.

If it has a retro Disneyland, with all the old rides, I'd be so there!

Apparently there was a protest over this at the Park (well, just barely off-property) on Mother's Day.

Mother's Day?

That seems an odd choice.

The Boy was on it at the end. He was even crying about it. He tried to say that it wasn't fair, that I got to keep in touch with my friends, but he is losing a lot of his.

Oh that sucks MG! I guess information exchange was not allowed on there. Those poor kids. Maybe some sort of group will pop up and people will start posting there and he can meet up with some of them again.

Over on Mice Chat I thought they had a pretty active VMK forum, maybe people can continue their friendships there? At least until Disney concedes to pressure and puts VMK back up.


edited to add: You've always had the option of removing the VMK forums from your viewable threads.
