text: --- Got this from one of the sites ---\nWell Penguins! It's been 5 years since the first Penguin Chat. Ever since we launched the first Penguin Chat, I have had a dream to create a safe, virtual world where children can play games,\nhave fun and interact. Now we are very proud to announce the release of Club Penguin.\n\nEach player chooses a penguin, gives it an identity and explores Club Penguin, interacting with other penguins by chatting, text messaging, playing games, sending greeting cards, or using emotes (emotion icons) and actions (ie. wave, dance, sit, walk or throw a snowball).\n\nBy helping other participants and playing games, players earn virtual coins that allow them to buy clothing and accessories for their penguin or furniture for their igloo.\n\nEnjoy!\n\nPlease visit the new Club Penguin website for all the latest news.\nhttp://www.clubpenguin.com/\n\nPlease Note: Penguin Chat 3 will go offline on Friday, October 28, 2005.\nPosted by rsnail at 12:13 PM | Link | Comments (158)  \n\nOctober 18, 2005
