Hello again, "G" is for Gail. I am happy to be a part of the VV family. I stumbled onto this game. I had no idea how addicting and interesting it would be. I've never participated in any type of online forums and here I am. All due to VV. Amazing.

I meant to also say that I am a 39 year divorced single mother of one son 11 years old. I also have a soon to be 21 year old son and a 1 year old Grandson.

Welcome to the forums enjoy

Hello JazzieG! Welcome to the forum!

Welcome JazzieG ,

I too, had never been on a forum like this. I was once an administrator for one but I was not a participant. I was there to make sure people behaved themselves and to keep the forum up and running. I have visited other forum but didn't care for the ambiance. This place does not try to "one-up" the other person. That is what I like about it.

I have been trying hard to welcome new members and I also include this Forum Quick Reference Guide to help you around. It highlights some of the places here on the forum where you can find information or participate in contests or forum games. So here is the Quick Reference Guide.

A spoiler is detailed information that can help you solve puzzles or win the game. If you do not want to know this type of information and want to solve these on your own, beware the Spoilers.
• Some of the members here have created what are called "Mods". Mods are modifications to the graphics for a game. If, after awhile of playing your game, you decide you want a fresh, new look, then try downloading one of the Mods offered here.
