Summary of "Save VMK" related posts

[Disney Dreams]

VMK Kids Unite is reporting an update which includes CNN contacting them! http://vmkkidsunite.com/index.cfm

Hadn't put a link anywhere here because it's not (yet) media coverage, but I changed my mind and added it to the very first set of links under section that I called, "Save VMK Sites and Tools." Seems fitting there, as people on DIS can look there to find a link to that information if they need / want it. Thanks for making me think about that again.

Aware of Aengus' interview with NPR. Once it airs and we have a link of some type, I'll add it to the media coverage list.

Thanks for making sure no one misses anything.

Thanks! maybe you can have a section called "In the Media Pipeline" for things that are attempting to get media buzz. Just a thought...

Thanks again for doing such a great job!!!

Moving this post to here so others can see. Also, updated link in second post to include this one.

Esmeralda, could you please look in to your crystal ball and tell us if Disney Internet Group is listening? lol

In the mean time, stay encouraged, there are VMK players still pushing forward with the campaign and the world is just getting our message. Let's just hope their hearts are listening and they decide to try the "pay to play" avenue.

This is the newest CNN iReport on the subject:

It took no time for places to pick up on the Disney "boycott" -- http://www.magicalmountain.net/WDWNewsDetail.asp?NewsID=1889

Poor Fairy!! She didn't even say the word boycott in her interview!

Thanks, Disvaclub, for adding Montey's while I was gone.

Good work with your mailing Goofy! Every voice counts.

Added the link you provided to 2nd post, Days.

I also found this article. Again, someone has picked up on VMK closing from another angle. This entire web site is dedicated to child safety. The author wrote about safe places on-line for kids to play, what parents should look at when their child selects a MMORPG - and the tragic (pending) loss of 1 of the safest, VMK. Added it to 2nd post. It's worth a read.

Disney, you have a good thing here. Why close it down? (No, really, why? Not the promotion answer.)

Added links to:
- VanillaIceCream's letter
- Spark CBC Radio interview
- DIS'ers flat mailings

Life's a bit busy atm, trying to stay up to date here. PLEASE Let me know if I missed anything.
