[Articles] Hooch Hound
It's New Year's Eve again and you're at what promises to be the biggest, grandest party of your life. Surrounding you are all the trappings of the holiday bash: colorful balloons, crepe streamers, confetti, festive party hats, plastic horns, and all the champagne you can drink. Music fills the air, adding to the festive atmosphere, and people chatter excitedly around you as they await the final countdown. Something is missing, however, and to your dismay -- and immense embarrassment -- you suddenly notice that you are alone amidst the throngs of people. It seems that your boyfriend, with whom you were going to greet the new year, has abandoned you and wandered off with some lumbering lout to argue football scores. Anxiously, you comb the room for a familiar face. Desperation grips you as you ponder the unsavory thought of entering the new year alone. So, with a determined vow, you fall back on your last resort -- getting picked up by a drunk. ...
[Articles] About Palace security and Fears
Opening your own Palace can expose you to multiple dangers that may impair your project. If you keep it private, your risks are minimal but the day you go public it becomes a whole new ball game. I will explain some potential hazards and suggest simple solutions to better protect your Palace server. I can't make any warranties that this will cover every aspect of Palace security because there are no ways to be perfectly shielded against malicious attacks. ...[Articles] Managing the banlist on your palace
The most common value shared in most chat programs is the free flow of friendly conversations. For the faithful herd of the palace global planet, it is the freedom of using all the palace software features like props, Borgs and chat. Each community reserves the right to define the proper usage by creating a set of guidelines that will apply only to them within the boundaries of their server. Even if palace is the land of make believe, it is not always possible to run your little piece of paradise without having to deal with serious troublemakers. Your server has some tools designed to help you in the task of keeping the rotten apples out of the basket....

[Superscoop] Palace and the Art of Conversation
When you first start on Palace, (cast your mind back….waaaay back) it is actually difficult to get any sensible conversation out of anyone. You may not recall this, if you are a hardened Veteran, because you know a few people now. But when you first started, you entered a room, waited a day or so for the picture to load, and then hid in a corner as quickly as possible. When your heart rate had recovered from the scary experience of landing in a room full of strangers you might then try a very tentative, "hi" and be absolutely amazed when someone went "hi" back. ...[Superscoop] Palace Madness (and other psychotic states)
The wonderful world of Palace Chat opens up a whole area of human behaviour that is just not available in real life. You can be whoever you want to be, dress in whatever clothing you like and explore any fantasy character you care to create. In real life, this luxury is normally confined to the mentally insane and professional actors; both of whom have a thin grasp of reality. Though of course, acting pays more. This liberation from your body, background, gender and even species is extremely good fun and liberating. It allows you to cast off responsibility. It allows you to be beautiful, free, single, or the CEO of a Multi-National organisation. But it is so addictive that it is very easy to develop Palace Madness, of which, I confess dear reader, I was a victim....[Superscoop] Jbum interview by SuperScoop
A famous inerview by Secret Palace Reporter SuperScoop for Palace Planet back in 2001. Q. Many people on Palace have heard of you, but for those who don't know....What was your actual role in the creation and development of Palace? Could you give us an insight into your background and how you became involved? Also, what was the inspiration behind it? ...[Superscoop] Tears of a Clone
I make my own avatars and so when I get cloned (which I do!) I take it rather personally. This then leads to me getting annoyed, tracking the IP address, searching all the Palaces for the offender, finding them, befriending them under a false name, stalking them long enough to get their home address, then going round to their house and setting about them with a pair of pliers and a blow torch....[Superscoop] Good Day Sir, May I Interest You In....
The other day I realised that Palace was missing something. You might think it has just about everything in the way of characters I mean there's flirts, snerts, liars, psychos, drunks and...and oh yeah...really nice normal people who like a chat. But Palace has a blind spot. I mean, where are all the service personnel? A Palace is a sort of virtual building after all. So where are the essential services? Where are the other classic characters?...
