The internet is an amazing tool that connects people from all over the world with each other. But what makes the Internet amazing can also make it dangerous, because anyone can log on and pretend to be someone they're not.
Never give out your personal information online.
Would you tell a stranger who you are and where you live? No way! Well chatting online is just like talking to strangers (except online, you can't even SEE them!) SO never give anyone your whole name, address or phone number on the internet, in email, in an instant message or in a chat room. If you know your Social Security Number or credit card or bank account number, definitely do not give those out either. And while you're at it, don't post anyone else's information, and be careful telling other people online the name of your school, sports team or favorite hang out. That information is yours and we want to keep it that way.
Don't use your real name in your screen name.
And while you're at it, don't include your age or your hometown either. You may think your screen name is super creative, but if it says too much about you, people you don't know can find out more about you then you think.
Keep your password to yourself.
Giving out your password is like giving your brother or sister the key to your room. Do you want them in there checking out all of your stuff whenever they feel like it? NO way! Same goes for your personal stuff online.
Read the rules and privacy options for websites that let you connect with others online.
We mean really read 'em. Some sites only let certain people who have registered read posts, chat and look at other users' webpages. Others let anyone who come to the site check out everything. No matter which kind of site you're on, find out if you can restrict your information so that it can only be seen by the people you choose.
Only share stuff online that you don't mind anyone seeing.
Anyone can use the internet and most people do. That includes your parents, your friends' parents, your teachers, and the creepy guy in the back of math class who never raises his hand. If you want private info to stay private, don't post it online.
Once you post something online, it stays online.
You can delete something you've typed or posted from a site, but people can get to older versions of that site where your info still exists. If you're not sure you should say something on the internet, you probably shouldn't.
Don't download anything if you don't know who it's from.
Downloads can give your computer viruses, mess up your applications and even cause your email server to send messages with your name on them to people you don't know. You can set the preferences on your computer to warn you about downloads before it opens them. So stop and think before you download anything you're not sure of. You don't know where that thing has been.
Keep your online friendships online.
There are all kinds of cool people using the internet. But there's no way of keeping the creeps out. If someone you met online wants to meet you in person, tell an adult. If you do end up meeting face to face bring a parent or another close adult with you.
And finally, if you feel unsafe, tell an adult.
If someone or something online is making you uncomfortable, tell a parent, a teacher or another adult you trust. Ask the adult to help you report the incident to the website, or if necessary to the police. Your actions might end up helping a lot of other people too.

St. Patrick's Day in ROBLOX!
Recently in ROBLOXia, there has been a Shamrock and Clover buzz around today. But with today's date, it's no surprise! Because today is St. Patrick's Day! Let's look at some of the items!
Here we have a cool BC cap with a four leaf-clover with a buckle strap. It's called Shamrock Styles. It's 15 ROBUX. With this cap, you're guaranteed luck!
Next is the St. Patrick's Day 2012 hat! The name is so original! This hat looks like a military cap with the mesh. And the flags near the front. And this item also has a buckle strap! This hat will help you walk with style! And this is worth 50 TIX. No BC needed, no limited, no limited unique, no timed item. Just a stylish hat!
The last hat is for all our girl readers! It's the simple red girl hair and for this special day, you'll have some green flowers in your hair! It's always good to look a little festive! It's pretty good for 50 ROBUX!
Well, that's it for this year of St. Patrick's Day items! Who knows? Maybe these items will return next year! Stay stylin'!

UCR Presidential Controversy Continues
Catlord5 declared on February 17 that he would be giving UCR away to another because of RL problems. This led many to suggest that Cat would be hosting elections, because he was 'That sort of president', and also gave many HRs and Members heart attacks when they learned this, when they had been hoping for Catlord5 to stay. Names were flying around left and right, before on February 18th, Catlord5 stated that he would be keeping UCR.
Catlord5's mom stated that he would only be allowed to be on roblox on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, because he was 'addicted' to the game. Catlord, on the 18th, said that he would be keeping UCR, and would be 'semi-active'. Many are glad because of this, but some suggested that having a semi-active president would eventually destroy the group.

Weekend Warrior hat: Quick Review
I have always had a love of shades on Roblox. It's just unfortunate that there isn't an awful lot of them to choose from. So when I saw the Weekend Warrior shades pop up on the catalog I was quite excited, however, this excitement was short lived.
The hat was originally on sale for R$1000 and is now selling privately for about R$1300-R$1500, and to be honest, I don't think it's worth it.
The shades do look good when worn, that's if you forget the fact that the design on the front of the shades makes them look like a 3 year old smudged paint all over them!
However, if you're just looking to make some profit this may work out for you. If you buy the hat now the price still has some room to grow.
Overall I think this hat is very poor, I wouldn't buy this unless you're looking to make a few bucks.

How to buy 'limited' items
The question when buying new limited items after everyone has bought them and put them on sale is, is it worth it?
It can be frustrating when you buy a Limited item for lets say R$1000 then the price drops down to maybe R$800.
However, it can be immensely rewarding when you get an item at a low price and sell it for much more!
So, how do you know when an item is buyable or not?
Well, there are a few things to look out for.
1. How quickly did it sell out- If an item sells out very quickly this is a sure sign that the item is popular and the price is going to rise. Get the item asap at this point and try to get the lowest price you can for it. Then wait a few hours/ days until the price has escalated. It is important to be patient and not to resell the item as soon as you get it.
2. The original selling price- If the original selling price was high the item is probably good looking and people are going to want it. This will indicate if the price is going to go up or down.
3. Use your own personal judgement- Be curious! Take a look at the item, see if it's selling well and the price is going up or down.
4. Price fluctuations- If an item is low at the moment but has been high in the past, BUY IT! Items prices fluctuate up and down all the time, buy the item on a low spike to make a profit on the high spike!
This has been a very, very basic summary of things you need to be aware of when buying limited items.
I hope it helps you to buy limiteds in the future.
