News And Announcements

Hey! Since WKI is run with FORUMOTION which is a wonderful free forum hosting website (note how we have '.forumotion.com' after 'www.webbiekinz' ) HOWEVER Forumotion [to my knowledge] does not let you have more than one skin

So this is a simple way to change it to your favorite skin!
*the WKI banner and the magic 'w' and the magic 'w' "new post" will go away, this will have ALL the images from the skin, and none will be edited out, and we CANNOT edit the images out, so you will have to learn...

Why hello there ! We've just updated our forums skin yet again and I would like to thank Kathy for the great new banner! Also the rest of the form has recieved some updating too some sections have been deleted/taken away and some staff (golden_retriever And Aldean) have been removed we reallyy want active staff and members so post a lot and you might just find yourself having a blue username!
-Crys

We'll soon move onto our WINTER THEME, the first 2 persons in december that writes in this color [reserved for book club members] will recieve a free 1 month Jr. Deluxe memberships!

Admins get the admin bar
founders get the founder bar
mods get the mod bar [same for global mods]

Stars:
No stars=0-10 posts
1 star=10-200 posts [i think]
2 stars= 200-300 posts
3=300-400
4=400-500
5=500-700
no 6
7=700-900

Can you keep up with this speedy pet? The Signature Cheetah is
possibly the most energetic of all Webkinz, with an insatiable desire
to run and play. Be sure to give your Signature Cheetah lots of time to
enjoy the great outdoors, and let your pet show off their running
skills at the Kinzville Academy!

~Welcome to my Guide~

I've noticed a lot of people of WI, ULW, and here on WKI, have been using wrong grammar until someone told them-well I'm here to tell YOU.

The biggest mistake I've seen is "Your" when you are saying Your Welcome, that is wrong grammar. I believe it is "You're Welcome" because it really is "You are Welcome" so the " 're " is short for are. so You're means you are. Your means it belongs to you like your wekinz is very cute....

From the "staff members contest"
This contest ends at the end of NEXT WEEK! [AKA the week before halloween]
From the thread:
~
Whoever invites the most friends gets a surprise rare item !

Sometimes I just want to use a cute smile that is not animated or you have to reverse it like this >> (:

Sadly, the Kid's Theme has now officially retired. A new Kid's Theme has been added to the Wshop to replace the old one.

Here's a picture of the new theme:

Could this mean that the Kids Theme will be retiring tomorrow? We'll have to wait and see what happens before we can know for certain. In
an unofficial poll conducted on A Website last month, members
voted overwhelmingly that the Kids Theme is the one they wanted to have
retire next.

The last time Ganz retired a theme from the wShop, the Space
Theme, all of the items in that theme...

This contest starts Christmas morning [dec 25th 12AM]
ends day after Christmas [dec 26th 12AM]
Wright a poem story about Christmas, this is about the play i'm hosting:
There was once a poor little
girl named Molly, a mistletoe mouse she was. With pretty dresses,
school lessons, and everything in the world.
BUT...
Her parents were poor, couldn't afford, the gift she most wanted
She saw it in a store, couldn't be more haunted
With the sad truth, they couldn't have it.... so terrible it was

She mourned...

Unfortunately , this cute little tiger
will be a GANZ Employee Christmas Present.. meaning most of us wont get
our hands onto one.

The 2009 GANZ Employee Christmas Present was the Wintermint Reindeer.

Gota Sweet Tooth? Check THIS Out:

Webkinz has one more Christmas surprise!

So we would HIGHLY HIGHLY appreciate it if you donated some of your webkinz items to Webbiekinz Imaginiers. Please don't give away your items if you don't want to. We wouldn't want to push you like that. We'd really like it if you donated things like:

Webkinz Clothes codes

Hello fellow members of WKI.

Well, I have been thinking a lot. And I come on here just about everyday. So why not make DAILY chat threads and not weekly? I will be responsible for this, Kathy and Crystal00000.
