The Whistler (website)

Like its in-game counterpart, The Whistler on the Purple Moon Place website was a newsletter that featured both in-verse articles written by characters and submissions from users of the website. It would also occasionally have articles featured in the game version of the newsletter.

The website updated with a new "issue" every month from August 1997 to (at least) December 2000, save for a 4 month gap between January and May of 1999. Archived mirrors of various issues can be read below. (No link to an August 1997 issue has been found.  It is hinted to exist due to September 1997 being labeled as "Volume 2".)

Frequent Features

 * Poetry Page - Curated by Mrs. Tinydahl and commonly found on page 2, this column published seasonally relevent poems written by the site's users.
 * Lunch Menus - Seasonally appropriate school lunch menus featuring the inedible creations of Mr. Pill.
 * From the Editor - Comments from a nameless member of the site's staff featuring tips on how to use the website and later, featured websites (including those created by the site's users).
 * Voting Results - The results of various polls that had been posted in previous months in the Friendship Adventures section.
 * Question of the Month - Several random Whistling Pines characters are given a seasonally relevent question to answer.
 * The Knot Hole - A classifieds like page where users could post messages.  This was often used to advertise clubs and unofficial contests.  Usually found on page 6.
