It's part of my Evil Plan to reinforce the misconceptions that people have carved into their minds.

Part of my method is to mix a grain of truth into an untruth. You'll probably find that what I say is usually ony about 99% wrong. The trick is to find the 1% that is right.

If you look for the grain in what I said, consider the point about the Di$ney agreement that says they can deny you access for ANY reason. If they were to "deny access" because someone was Black or Buddhist or Chinese or Catholic, they'd have a hard time of it. Point is that "ANY" reason doesn't work in a legal contract. Disney China may get away with discriminating against a Tibetan in China, but they might have trouble discriminating against a Han.

Saying in the contract that they can do something for "any reason" or "no reason" is just a shortcut for Lawbots who are too lazy to explicitly state what the conditions are. Sloppy work like this shows that the LawBots are depending upon people not taking action against Di$ney because they are so big and strong.

That's a bully tactic and I would like it because it sounds Evil, but it's not Good Evil, it's Stupid Evil. People are scared of the Evil Genius, but the jails are full of the Evil Idiots.

And if I had gone to one of the schools in the USofA, I'd probably believe it, too. Heck, chances are I'd barely be able to read, let alone understand what I was reading!

Everything is not about people anymore, it's about money! There are such poor people in parts of the world with no food, shelter, and such.. No one is helping because all they care about is money. My school is a very donating school, I'm not saying yours aren't, but Disney is just too money obsessed.

I don't care about that quest. Forgive and forget, it's not a big deal. But a whole game centered around Walt's Disneyland is closing down is a big deal.. I wish Walt were here, he'd stop everything that Disney is doing wrong.. Putting boring teen shows, no more Mickey , online worlds which are EXPENSIVE, so on.. Walt would so be against the new Disney, I miss the old one

Wow I'm glad I quit this game and found something else to do.

Still, it's a company and they have their own rules - which can be whatever they want.

I don't do tats, but I can imagine some creative uh (changes mind and decides not to say it because it might be a pain in the back side for/from the mods) ways to display Disney tattoos.

PS: I must admit I'm really proud of this forum for picking this important change so quickly. I just got back from a trip and the red "Terms of Use (Updated 5/6/08)" jumped out at me and I got pretty mad. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in how I feel

Big words.....CAN'T READ :s Anyways, this is why I don't pay for virtual games (mostly because my dad won't let me ) But yeah, like Norbie said, you should delete your memberships to be safe if you care about your money..

We couldn't at the least file any lawsuit at any matter of this to Disney - there is plenty of other stuff to prevent Disney to be liable for this, up to $100 (if it were the lesser of paid) if I remember correctly - nor could I find any reason that I would want to attempt to.

However, we can complain to someone in a branch of Disney that may have authority or influence over WDIG, about the infringement of Terms of Use. It would then lie between the authoritative branch and WDIG and their collective decision. I can't exactly see them changing the closure of VMK at this point, but this could affect some decisions and agreements to the Terms of Use in other forms.
