message: This should be a disambiuation page, with links to entries for "there". This cannot be the only entry people will look for; I was looking for word usage information, similer to the "it" page. Themissinglint 21:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there are no articles for other meanings of "there" we'd like to reverse this disambiguation.  Wikipedia is not a dictionary afterall, and the current disambiguation page just defines the word and links here.  It seemed premature to move the article.  Let's discuss this on the talk page for There if anyone disagrees.  If not, would an experienced editor please help us out?  Mescad 03:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Other entries for "There"

message: 216.76.203.58 has removed "There Universe" as well as "Caldera Sun Times", even after others have added it back.  216.76.203.58 has also added "rumors", such as this one, found in this change:
:In May of 2004, the company released a shocking announcement to the membership saying it would no longer develop the consumer version of There. While a small core of dedicated users continue in There, membership is for the most part dwindling as users seek other online destinations.
I hope this does not continue.  --TIB 03:03, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
:Turns out, the two ips who had added this information were both owned by the same guy (resolved to *.bhm.bellsouth.net) and he lives in Gadsden Alabama.  It's not NPOV, he once owned the Motu Eagle (which he had edited to be "DISCONTINUED PUBLICATION"), and he is known as Evan on the SoThere forums, which you can note by how he removed ThereUniverse's forums.  Another note of interest is CST's removal, which wouldn't normally be removed, unless it was by someone who happens to not like CST.
:Thanks, Sherlock out. --TIB 06:00, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)
:: 213.157.97.21, who is probably the same person, just came back and added:
:::In May of 2004, the company released an announcement to the membership saying it would no longer develop the consumer version of There. While a small core of dedicated users continue in There, membership is for the most part dwindling as users seek other online destinations.
::That version got reverted as "unsubstantiated".  Part of that paragraph is true, though.  The company did make that announcement. What is unsubstantiated is the claim that the membership is dwindling.  User:Ponder 03:13, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks.  He'll be back, though.  If he continues, could you please protect this page?  supadawg -  22:17, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that may be what he wants, based on some of those edit summary comments. I've watchlisted the page, if I see an anon vandalizing it in the future I'll see if banning him at every opportunity will work and still allow the page to be edited. I'll protect if that doesn't work well, though. Bryan 22:31, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The current version is very POV and seems like a press release put out by There.
It says it is the "most advanced" virtual world and uses lots of overly positive language.

message: The beginning of the Details section says There is a chat room.
I believe this to be wildly inaccurate.
:Another big problem in the details section is the inaccurate currency exchange info.
:"...... Monetary transactions in There's economy are done using Therebucks, virtual currency with real world value. Therebucks can be purchased directly from There, from other members, or from any of the third party online "banks" which usually offer competitive exchange rates. Members can also sell their Therebucks to banks in exchange for real world currency, usually USD."
:I'd like to know what online banks the writer is referring to. Also There does not support exchanging Therebucks for real world currency. I've got an email I received to back that up.
:"Dear Soede,
:Therebucks are not convertible to cash nor do we refund Therebuck purchases or any fees that may have accrued to your Account. There has a “No Refund” policy as outlined in our Terms of Service.
:There Customer Support
:Email: Help@There.com
:[THREAD ID:1-3T0Z10]"
:If someone familiar with editing wiki pages could clean that up I would be much obliged as I was personally very misled by the info. Soede 00:34, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There doesn't take money. Read that it says third-party banks. http://tbux.com/ is the only one I can think of at the moment.--Viridistalk|contributions 00:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Having a whole section for screenshots is not necessary. Pictures should sit as illustrations that supliment the article; these are pretty much showing off certain aspects of There.
Pictures that I believe are extra pointless (and the reasons being) are:
*The wide pan shot (Badly photoshopped, and who's display exceeds 4000 pixels wide?)
*The 3 emotes groups (Not much unknown here, we know what facial expressions look like... The headings in the pictures are not much good either)
These pictures are also contributing to the current advert style of the article. Bob f it 12:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
