Actually I totally disagree. From my point of view, here is what I found out from checking out these site's. Trust me on this caribbound.
runescape- This is a midevil type of game, where you get magic, you explore and have fun. This site is fairly safe but I would reccomend you watching it yourself to make sure that it is ok
mokitown: I think this is a fairly good site but I would reccomend you trying it out first. I think the chatting is safe and it seems like a fun site.
faketown: I think this is an inappropiate site for younger kids. There are some disturbing graphics which is not right for younger kids, I would most likely NOT reccomend this game
vmk: This is a givin.
habbo: I found this site alright but I honestly wouldn't let my kid play on it for various reasons
Mycoke and club penguin: Very innapropriate for younger kids 8-12. Some of the things they say is not right.
Appropriate site's I use
Well this first paragraph I will talk about
www.millsberry.com I found this game fun because you get to make your own house and own pets. Nothing innapropriate here and the furniture, items you can use are very cool
This site is optional. If you buy a webkinz you can play on
www.webkinz.com. My cousin who's twelve plays this game and finds it very fun. There are lots of games to play, rooms to build and overall really good time.
