ThereGames Logo Contest
by Mackie for Life In There
Hi all, if you haven’t heard yet about our August theme, it is an Olympic type month of events called the “ThereGames”! We are already on a team and have groups to join that you can find here.

The games will start August 1st and end on August 31st. The points will be tallied by name tag color, not by individuals! You will see a huge variety of events for the ThereGames and the venues will be varied as well.

This is going to be the biggest project ever in There History and we want something to commemorate it by, and we want it made that way by the amazingly creative members we have in There. So, we're having a Logo contest! Read More

The Catwalk Fashion Report:
Perfectly Pretty in Peach
by Whitney_J for The Voice
Do you ever get the feeling you have too many clothes? Well the closet has become quite full over the past couple of weeks. Hatch has told me that I have to slow it down a little or we’ll have to move. See, the house just can’t accommodate all the clothes I've bought over the past few months to do my articles fashions. Yes, of course I drag him to all of these fashion shows and he seems to enjoy them. Well, ok, maybe it’s the legs and the attractive women; I seriously doubt that it’s the clothes that keep him awake. Read More

Virtual Vikki's Marine Life Research Center

Avatar and Driver
by Hatch for The Voice
Hey folks! I'm back with this week's edition of Avatar & Driver. This week I've got a monster of a hoverboard, a hoverpack for exploring the deep blue sea, and a buggy that will have you seeing... pink? I also have a report on a unique race event I attended. Got your driving gloves on? Ok then, let's get this thing in gear and get moving! Read More

by fazzerelli for Life In There
Our lovely friend GEEA celebrated her 2nd There Anniversary on Monday, June 13th and we felt it was time to celebrate! Everyone gathered at Tuma Tower for some great chat, good music and a fun game of Emotes. Read More

There In Style:
Letting My VOICE Be Heard (again)!
by JoeyG for The Voice
I can't believe how much time has passed since I last visited There in earnest. Obviously, it has been far too long. Far too long, indeed!

It's very comforting to know that time does not stand still for There. The changes that have been collecting and maturing since my self-imposed exile last fall are nothing less than amazing. What's even better, the changes I have witnessed are all from the many talented designers who are just simple Thereians. There has provided them an incredible canvas landscape to dabble on and they have not let us down. Read More

The Blue Nose Files:
ThereGames
by Rick_Slick for The Voice
This August, Mackie, the Mary Lou Retton of There event hosting, will be coordinating the greatest competition of sports and skills to date in There: the ThereGames! I'm not too sure what she has in mind, but I'm guessing it'll be much like the Olympics, except with less illegal steroids use. Read More

Abducted By Aliens
by lillie for Life In There
I was just hanging around Paiz Island, logged into the Thereian Help Center, helping new members and waiting for calls when I saw them. Two aliens. Seemingly male. With British accents. How unusual, I thought... Read More

Better Zones and Gardens
by Fallan for The Voice
Good Day my dear Thereian brothers and sisters. Is me again, the adorably sweet and precious Fallan... and I also have it on good authority that I am "funny-cute" whatever that means. Now that we have established how charming I am, lets get down to business, shall we? Read More

Meret's Animated Fountain
by fazzerelli for Life In There
He has done it once again. The fountain designed by Meret is a beautiful addition to his Town Center Circle. There is a calming effect one feels when just standing, admiring it. Of course if you feel like sitting on the side and dangling your toes, this is most enjoyable as well. Also look at the bottom of the fountain for some trinkets that Meret tossed in....'wink....make a wish...you never know! Read More

Archie Weather Report:
The Sky is Falling
by Archie for The Voice
Reporting all things meteorological, be it psychic, political, emotional, or even stuff actually falling from the skies, Archie, once again brings you the Weather Report for There, 2005.

It actually can rain in There, and not the animated kind either. Avies have been known to fly over an activity or event and shower the innocent Thereians with junk! Buggies, boards, TUVs and what-not can shower down from on high, from anywhere, and at anytime. Read More
