So apparently my account was created less than 1 year after this site was founded, making this possibly one of the oldest active accounts . I seem to have been a member for 11 years now . Any other OG webkinz players out here with active accounts? No idea why I'm posting this, but thought it would be funny to share...
Webkinz was all I played (along with Club Penguin) back in the day. Bloo was my first ever Webkinz. I named him after the character, Bloo, the from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I was obsessed with this show, so I thought it was necessary to name him after my favorite character. Thanks for sharing this! I really enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane.
Never played Webkinz but I have a similar thing with Club Penguin. Had the game not closed down earlier this year, my Club Penguin account would be around 10 or 11 years old right now. I still never got to spend those 100 million coins I cheated into the game using a hacked client when I was 8.
I actually attempted logging onto my Club Penguin account this year before it got closed down, but I guess inactive accounts get permanently deleted after a certain amount of time. Really upsetting as I had so many items (signed backgrounds from Rookie, Rockhopper, etc.) along with many other cool things. I spent all my free time on CP and never loved a game more. I still remember the day I made my account.. My cousins visited and helped me make it. One of the best online games for sure.
I've never been into webkinz too much, but I always loved bearville until they got rid of the website.
