Virtual Adventures Explained

[MBones]

When I read about the missing kitties my mind immediately went to those alarming times when one of my own went missing. The panic, fear and worry for those missing is very real to me and I got very LES'y and began praying for them and hoping that they would soon be found. My heart goes out to all of those who have spent those long hours, days, and the like waiting for their beloved pets to come back safely home to them and I was very upset that three had gone missing so close to Christmas. I was even more upset to learn that in the guise of entertainment only one was truly missing.

To find out that this "charade" was just that made me feel pretty taken advantage of. And the fact that there is truly another cat missing (Isis) makes the timing of this reality tale all the more horrible. I'm sorry if this offends the creators of this tale but it is really upsetting to me that such a scary scenario for me ( and all the other pet lovers out there ) turned out to be a hoax. Some things are just not worth joking abut in my opinion.

I'm sure they meant no harm, but we all need to consider the impact of what we post on this forum as well as others. Please let's either make a separate folder for these reality types of adventures or prominately highlight in the thread title. Again, I do not mean to offend or make the creators of this hoax feel bad, but missing pets is nothing to joke about. I really am bothered by this entire turn of events; it has really upset me.

Let's channel all of this energy towards Isis so that she may be reunited with her loved ones safe and sound.

ISIS HAS BEEN FOUND! Please see this thread for the updates, and to express your happiness and joy to Wenisrubber on finding Isis, safe and now back home!

ISIS REALLY WAS MISSING. SHE WAS NOT A PART OF THE VIRTUAL ADVENTURE OF WILLY AND ANNIE.

That being said, if the votes continue in favor of us continuing the saga of Willy's and Annie's Virtual Christmas Adventure of 2006 by the time the poll closes tomorrow afternoon, we will resume posting about their virtual escapades. (Even if the votes HAD been in favor of continuing it, I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing so with Isis still really missing.)

We will clearly mark each thread about these two as a "Virtual Adventure" so that there will be no mistake about it to the PT'ers who read them.

We appreciate the candid comments on here, and hope that everyone who feels mistrust about these types of threads will feel reassured knowing that Virtual Adventures will be clearly marked as such from here on out. Please do NOT feel hesitant to continue to offer prayers and positive vibes up for the beloved pets who are reported as missing on here in the future. If everyone abides by the rule that Virtual Adventures should be clearly marked as such in their titles, the confusion won't happen again.
