In truth I have always been with Webkinz, just logging in every 6 months to keep the accounts I cherished open. There was no way that I could abandon my charges completely. There was a brief moment in time where I thought about letting it all go and then was flooded with memories as I watched the 'kids' resurface in Reddit and how they had all grown and were excited about 'reKinzling' their accounts. Now I see fan sites all over the place and realize this is much bigger than it once was. Watching as these young people strove to rebuild the guides and keep the lore alive, it is so inspiring. (bet you never expected THAT, did ya, Mr. Ganz) Anyway, hoping I can reconnect with others who enjoyed and still do.
Thanks for letting me join.

Thanks for letting me join. Welcome back! You'll have to decide if you want to make a Next account using your own WW. We have threads for that. Some people like it, some just want to play classic and some of us do both depending on how we're feeling. If you need fr lmk and I'll add you. We have a list of our member's UN too. Have fun! |

Well, hello Dixiecup!!  Nice to see you! Its so awesome that you've returned!! Yay!!  Hey, would you like your name capitalized? LMK and I can change it! I agree... there has been this reawakening, almost a who new revolution for Webkinz that's been happening especially since Covid hit and it just continues to grow! I love seeing all these players that were once 8, 10 year old kids coming back, now in their 20's! I've even seen parents coming back, now that their kids are grown, as well. So happy to hear that you were keeping your accts going enough to have them active! Just holler if you need any help, you know its a friendly bunch around here!  |

a warm welcome back to town, Dixiecup  i was also a player who would log in occasionally to keep my childhood account active, but have been playing fairly consistently for almost 4 years now; this is definitely my comfort game. I just... never really 'grew out' of Webkinz, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have met so many amazing players and have been lucky to be part of great communities, especially this one. so welcome welcome welcome back! |

Welcome to town. There are many who never left. We are old (cough *Newfie* cough) and we are very old (that one would be me  ) but we still love the game. RL has been a bit intense for me the past few years , so my time in game has been minimal. But I am hoping to get that spark to decorate going once again. Webkinz World has been my therapy since 2008

@ Newfie, Yes please I would really appreciate having a Capital D on my name, thanks. @ all of the rest of you, thank you for the hearty welcome  I will get used to how vBulletin works again, it has been way too long. I might have to look up my old tutor threads in my hard drive. It is so nice to see people keeping the homefires burning. |

@ Newfie, Yes please I would really appreciate having a Capital D on my name, thanks. @ all of the rest of you, thank you for the hearty welcome I will get used to how vBulletin works again, it has been way too long. I might have to look up my old tutor threads in my hard drive. It is so nice to see people keeping the homefires burning. Done!  And, if it helps, there are tutorials to help you through. We had to move from vBulletin as it became too unstable for the forum, almost 10 years ago. Good tips: at the top bar under the banner, if you hit "Recent posts" it will give you the most recent and it goes for pages. If you click same top bar "Forum" it'll show you the different sections of the forum. If you have specific questions, feel free to holler. |
