I know what you mean Genie. I'm thinking of changing mine if at all possible...
Cheese, you will always be cheese to us. I'm sure we will come up with a good name for you until vmk brings cheese back.

Your right Genie. When I signed up on the first day of beta I was unable to use Patricia but the nick-name patti worked just fine. Although I've never use patti in real life , I thought it would be easier for intercotees to recognize me if I used a derivative of my name here.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

I really couldn't agree more Genie. I don't know at times how character titles get approved with the peoples real titles in there. My mom made a character titled KimB and that was approved . I was shocked when she said she made that tile I told there is no way that would be approved yet it was. Then the go and take words that have no reason being removed and take them away. I have no idea why Cheese was removed. If Erin is correct and it was because of Cheese.us then like Cita said they will just say she.us so are they going to remove she next? If they do then they will just think of something else to say. People will always find a way to dictionary dance and if they take more words out soon we wont be able to say a thing because they will have taken so much out because people can say things they are not supposed to. Maybe they should focus on tracking down the people that put words together that are not approiate in VMK insted of taking out words that mean no harm. Maybe they are just messing with us and next week Cheese will retrun just like the Period returned after about a week.

Genie's post kind of brought up a point. Why take out cheese when there's still real-life names like Troy and Gabriella?

Ok ppl, I did a little digging on maybe why cheese was removed from VMK dictionary. Turns out cheese is a new kiddie drug. Google it you'll see that it's a serious threat.

^ Yes, unfortunately "cheese" is the name of that latest drug. It's a combination of perscription medication and (I think) cocaine. Not 100% sure.
Sorry about your loss, Cheese. We'll figure out something!

Y'know, that reason never crossed my mind. Even though I work at a psyche facility, we treat dual diagnosis admissions, meaning psychotics & substance abusers. I also have some background I'd rather not divulge here, but...
Both the words "Cheese" and "Ice" (as well as many other VMK words) are terms sometimes used for Heroin:
Cheese has a few meanings; "Macoroni & Cheese means a $5 pack of marijuana and a dime bag of cocaine" or, in it's new form, "Heroin mixed with Tylenol PM".
Ice is often defined as "Cocaine; crack cocaine; smokable methamphetamine;
methamphetamine; methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA); or phencyclidine (PCP)".
Some other common VMK names/words then that are drug references? Base, Blizzard, Bricks, Bump, Candy, Dragon (also White Dragon), Dream, Freeze, Girl (also Boy-Girl), He-She (also She), Her, Jam, Lady, Mix, Monkey, Nose, Rocks, Snow White, Soda, Star... and the list goes on.
The names in bold are names of some of our little community. So the question is then, where does the line get drawn? Some people are using their actual names or forms of them in their titles (a breach of VMK's own sharing of information policy?) and others have these drug terms in their names (as well as words we all use daily such as He/She/Her/Girl and even SNOW WHITE!) Where does the line get drawn? How many other seemingly innocuous words will we lose because of what amounts to selective censorship?

Oh my... No wonder they're taking it out. But in the previous posts it looks like they're using it as "cheese.us". Do they use it in the context of drugs/medicine?

Would it matter what context it is being used in or for? After tonight, VMK just doesn't make sense...

Haha Ice! Do you know their chemical make up too?
Only kidding.
I am a woman of many moods and they all require chocolate.

PinkJJ: Haha Ice! Do you know their chemical make up too?
Sorry, failed chemistry. Not for trying though..
Considering all of the drugs we work around (mostly psychotropics & antipsychotics) you'd think I'd really pay attention, but since I can't prescribe 'em, why learn all of 'em?

Wow, one of the most common words I hear in VMK just, POOF! GONE! I just wish VMK gave some sort of explanation of WHY they take out the word cheese, or heck, any other word that they extract from the VMK vocab. Sometimes I just don't know what they are thinking when it comes the the dictionary!
Sorry about the loss of the word, Cheese

Was there a Staff member called/titled cheese? That we weren't aware of?
I hope they don't make me change my name/title I have grown use to being titled Disney or Dream, Dreaming, Dreamer. I miss being able to say flight.
Now when I try to tell people on VMK to "sit back relax and enjoy your flight. It sort of looks weird when you have to say/type "fly it. You know what I mean?
