Wow thanks for the great response! Ill go check those out tomorrow. This is such an important thing to me I want to make sure its right and these great kids have a good contact place.    :hehe:  

I hope you guys will fogive me for coming in here to ask this. But here I am. I work with an orginazation for bereaved children and we are creating a website for them. I want to set up a forum or chat room even that would be private. We dont want the wrong sort of people in there messing with em. Im willing to pay for something like this but not sure where to look. Ive considered these boards? Or can anyone recommend something else. It has to be very user friendly, these are very young children. Again I apologize for bringing this sort of thing in but Ive noticed some very smart folks here and figured this be the best place to find info.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds interesting Im intriqued..Can always use a new addiction. I hope not to much graphics though. Takes pages to long to load and if dont have a server to handle massive users it will surely bog allot and I personally hate that. I tend to turn off graphics. I gots a good imagination dont need em! Seen em once dont need to see again. My only knowledge is customer care area and only programming I know is that wee bit Im taught to maintain my areas.

After working an online game for years I know all to well how growth effects a game so would be very important to allow for expansion.  Are you in mind to building a MUD or a click based game?  The ideas are awesome but for a click based?  A one page game or multi page? Or worlds?

Personally Id like to see it kept simple and basic. Yet with enough variation to keep it from becoming mundane. And keep game balance with some realism. One of the things that annoys me more then anything is the fact that an army a 5th the size of mine can make me thier farm. And lose 0 soliders and I can lose several. Now how realistic is that?  Ive read some great ideas here and I know Id be there.  But above all! There has to be admins and people willing to keep it running. Not build something and let it fall to pieces. Thats my simple game wishlist.
