High Holy Days!
by jdb_educator and holidays.net
Shanah Tova!
Happy New Year!With the Jewish season of the High Holy Days upon us, we are delighted to invite you to come join our High Holiday Day celebrations at Holidays on the Net.
The Jewish High Holy Days refer to the ten-day period between the first day of the Jewish month of Tishrei, when Rosh Hashanah begins, and the tenth day of the month, when Yom Kippur falls.
These two holidays are the most significant in the Jewish calendar, a time rich in religious, spiritual and historical symbolism. On Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish people celebrate the beginning of a new year. The holiday is commemorated with special services, such as Tashlich (casting off of one's sins), and the blowing of the shofar (and here). Rosh Hashanah is also a sacred time for ritualized family gatherings and sweet festive meals. And make your celebration a sweet and tasty one with our delicious holiday recipes.
Get the little ones interested in the holiday with our selection of fun and entertaining Rosh Hashanah crafts and holiday related coloring pictures. Send holiday greetings to your friends and family with our Rosh Hashanah eGreeting Cards.
Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the Days of Awe. During this ten-day period, the Jewish people stand before G-d, praying for forgiveness for their sins and hoping to be inscribed in the Book of Life. Then on Yom Kippur, which is also called the Day of Atonement, the Jewish people fast for 25 hours, during which they atone for their sins.
We hope that you will find something at Holidays on the Net that will help you better enjoy and appreciate these High Holy Days. We really look forward to seeing you at our High Holy Days celebration!
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Wednesday September 08. Yom Kippur begins at sundown on September 17.Happy Holidays and Shanah Tova!

A Hero for Our Time! --- Aug 27 2098--- "Superheroes make us look at the world around us, and drive us to change it for the better. They stirred feelings of great ambition in me as a child. But, what about the many circumstances that we realize cannot be changed? Cancers, relationship problems, financial difficulties cannot be removed by pure ambition. So, are there any heroes who can show us how to approach them? Are there any heroes who can show us how to remain at peace while all is falling apart?

It went from the top to the bottom. It hasn't changed despite many experiments in creating democracy, popular votes, elections, and numerous other entertaining and instructive efforts. We believe started in Virtual Worlds, as we were there and an active participant in many. And today? Even in modern Real Life government, businesses, social organizations -that range in governance from dictatorship to pure democracy to anarchy- there is a chain of command. Here is the chain of command for Cybertown:

Cybertown helps IVN With Thanks
posted by stone_98As the year ends, the workload always seems to increase. The same is true for Cybertown. Cybertown veteran, Vialle, has agreed to help the IVN representative, Emsquared, for a few hours here and there through the end of the year. Vialle will be focusing on a review of sponsorships and responding to e-mails but wont be available on the phones or to take payments. Vialle asks that citizens help spread the word for "everyone to make sure their main nick (if sponsored) has a valid email address." This, of course, is true for all main accounts, as well.
Please note that your e-mails should continue be sent to billing AT integratedvirtualnetworks.com and we have the toll-free phone number for subscriber issues: 800-557-2500.
Thank you, Vialle, for helping out this way and thank you to Emsquared for all that you do to keep our subscribers' questions answered. You are both greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Stone
How Do We Pay Our Subscriptions? Cybertown citizens are asking how do we pay for Cybertown now that the telephone number is not working. CVN discussed this with the mayor and discovered a few recommendations.
by jdb_educator
Paying for your subscription using your paypal account is probably the easiest and most effective way. From what we understand, if someone uses paypal, the account is automatically credited and the subscription updated.
Wovencroft warns "I am not sure it is such a good idea for anyone to be emailing credit card information to any place, even IVN. Emails are notoriously insecure and almost always transmitted in plain text. Might want to consider removing that idea from CVN." We did consider woven's request. Instead we will urge you to have a small amount secure card for use with internet purchases, IF at all possible. Sadly woven is exactly correct, emailing credit card info is dangerous, and using routing numbers even more so unless you create a separate account strictly for Cybertown payments. We are very sorry that this seems to complicate life. Nothing is ever easy in our unsafe world of real life.
Citizens can also e-mail IVN with payment information (ie, credit card info, but be cautious. Best is paypal or snail mail your payment to the IVN address. At present we are unsure if IVN can do electronic transfers with routing info, etc., so we will seek to find out if that is a possibility.
Mayor stone told us "a number of people that have contacted me have not tried the e-mail, they have only tried the phone number". We understand that IVN is continuing to look into getting the phone service restarted but it has taken longer than we'd hoped.
Therefore it is clear to us, and we hope it is clear to our readers that you should start with an email to IVN at billing@integratedvirtualnetworks.com.
CVN thanks Beca for bringing this to our attention and stone_98 for discussing the issue with us. And thanks to wovencroft for his wise warning. We hope this story helps our readers.
Sponsorships to Cybertown! A couple of days ago, a longtime friend and active Cybertown resident wrote me:
by jdb_educator"my access to CT is up soon, and i haven't heard from my sponsor, without a sponsor i can't return to CT, but i don't wanna leave CT :(, plz help if you can".I sent off a couple of emails and found by reply:"The best option and the one I usually give is to post on the Sponsorship Club board(http://www.cybertown.com/cgi-bin/cybertown/place?. I know there are those who regularly check there to see if someone needs assistance. I don't know of anyone right now that is offering to pay for sponsorships but I know that there are those who will often consider it when they know who needs one."Before I could write that to my friend, I got a quick note:"I'm saved! i found a sponsor, but thanks for helping "That intrigued me so I asked what had happened and discovered the answer:"i just wandered into the fleamarket and i said 'anyone know someone who sponsors?' and then the sponsor (not telling the name) said 'who needs a sponsor?' and i said 'I do' and then i was sponsored"That's Cybertown!
Avoiding Free Trial Abuse! We all know that long term members have an issue with storage. Right now, there is only one way to increase the storage capacity on your member account and that is to add another nickname. However, a few members have accidentally initiated a free trial account when trying to add another nickname and increase storage and this puts them in danger of a Unified Ban Policy penalty for Free Trial Abuse.
Security Helpful Tips
Avoiding this is relatively easy. First, immigrate as per usual for a new account. Fill in the application, making sure to include a valid email address. When you get an email that your new account has been accepted on the Cybertown server, do NOT log in using the activation code. That will automatically open up a free trial account. Instead, go to the second step as advised here and contact billing@integratedvirtualnetworks.com, or phone IVN at 1-888-557-5611 (between 10am - 5pm EST ), and let them know you are trying to add a new nickname.
Billing issues are generally, though not always, answered by Vialle. Whoever replies will be happy to guide you through the next few steps of adding the new nickname to your account. It's only a buck more a month unless you pay for a family account, which is $99.95 a year and allows you have to one main nickname and up to 5 others.
Some people realize old members have come back under the free trial and try to help them re-establish themselves in Cybertown under the new name. But this isn't fair to either the old member or to IVN which operates this site.
Old members could be sponsored for up to 30 days by IVN if they follow the proper protocols. That is, if an old member who has been out of CT for at least six months contacts IVN and asks for a free month to evaluate a potential return, there is a possibility this will be granted, as long as the former member has no security record. This is the best of both possible worlds. The returning member not only gets a month in CT for free, they also get all of their cc back and get to have back all the objects in their BP and their storage units. These objects are often rares when a former member returns and could be worth untold riches if sold in the Flea.
Otherwise, if they try to hide under a free trial nickname, they will be banned for Free Trial Abuse once Security discovers them. And everything that was given them to re-establish themselves will be lost as a free trial ban is punishable by a permanent ban both on the new and old nicknames.
No one likes to do these kinds of bans. For that reason, returning members may also contact ABluEyedBrunette, our Security Commissioner, for help to obtain this possible free month.
Silhouette FAQ
Be sure to read this FAQ that covers the no-obligation Silhouette deal! We read it with interest, having already signed up/pre-registered! CVN Congratulates IVN on a well prepared FAQ! It helps a lot! No obligation means just that! Sign up NOW!
The link to the FAQ is: http://www.cybertown.com/SilFAQ.html
IVN/CT POLICY
Did you know? Any Cybertown citizen can purchase space in the top frame for things like events & special announcements (b'days, anniversaries, etc.) The current rate is $20 per week, $60 per month.
These are special rates for, NON-commercial ads and as always, all banners must be Founder approved before they can be uploaded. Advertisements for businesses are handled differently at different rates.
IVN/Cybertown thanks Holodoc, ND of Star Trek Hood in Sci-fi, who not only helped in the planning stage is also the creator of the first banner to take advantage of this new option!
This will not affect the cotm (Colony of the Month) banners or any that are already up there.
Interested parties should contact me at billing@integratedvirtualnetworks.com
