    I don't care whether you continue with this "adventure" or not.

    I have never been a fan of ANY of the virtual threads. I hate coming to pet talk at Valentine's day because more than half the threads are "this cat loves that cat"....etc., etc., a true waste of time. And I think the "party threads" are totally over done!

    Some of the truely original ideas (like the cruise ship) were fun, but it gets old real fast.

    I might post in these types once in a while, to help the topic starter feel good, but for the most part, I could do totally without them.

    But telling people cats are missing when you KNOW how much we all care for each others pets (like our own) ..... went too far.

    So, this is my opinion. I will just continue to avoid virtual threads.

    I have to agree with you Jen. I take prayer very seriously. Now to find it was all a joke. Well, it will be a while before I can forget this. I was so worried about Willie and Annie. I forgive it yes, but forget, well, not yet.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I only skim read the last threads on the matter and was getting a little confused. However now all is explained and its only intent was a bit of fun, I see nothing wrong with it continuing.

    I think someof the virtual thread have been great fun. Sometimes it feels good to be silly in this all too serious life.

    Go for it!

    I've said it before: I love the virtual threads and I had lots of fun in them.
    This one mixed me up too- but I know you didn't intend it.
    I want to continue

    I am sorry that all your good and fun intentions did not work out.

    I think that we should have a new practice: any "Virtual Adventure" should have it's thread title start that way - Virtual Adventure: Willy's been kitnapped" for example, so that everyone who even just sees the thread title will know to skip it if they do not enjoy such things.

    I was wondering why people were being rude (seemingly) when they heard your baby was kidnapped. I thought some of the responses seemed un-caring. But it sorta makes sense now. Thanks for explaining it.

    Photo manipulation... WHAT? I'm confused again.

    It's a confusing life. But things are never boring!

    This is a great idea!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    The threads where our kitties go off and have adventures are my favourite threads on the board. I love the creativity of them, the humour, and the amazing photo manipulation that some people can do.

    I do understand though, why people were confused on this one. The original posts sounded very real. I do hope that you can find a way to tell us the whole story, because the graphics that we have already seen are lovely, and perhaps in all of this to-ing and fro-ing, there will be a way for me to finally get my hands on Willy! A-HA-HA-HA!

    After reading your response, jenluckenbach, I'm wondering if this site could have a forum specifically FOR virtual adventures in each of the pet sections. That way there would never be any confusion over it like this has caused. People who enjoy them could go to the forum that is totally made up of virtual adventures like this. People who don't enjoy them could avoid them entirely. I'll have to post something about this in the Townhall forum. Thanks for your input. Hopefully something positive can come out of this yet!
