Hey here's an interesting secret not many people know... but I was the lead developer on Millsberry.com when General Mills contracted Neopets to build them an online virtual world. I built that thing from scratch!

Those are screenshots of my character in the review I couldn't help but put him in there!

When Millsberry first started it was slated to be "Millsville", but that changed... also it was questionable whether there would be MillsBills or MillsBucks.

Uh... yeah. I left that project long ago though.

I don't play millsberry but you're great! how many websites have you made so far? and also, the 'secret' should not have an 's'.

clubdirthill002 · 2008-06-13 07:07:13

Ok. I know some people that used to play Millsberry, but I never did. Never will. I could never play a game based on cereal.

mrdweedles · 2008-06-13 09:38:07

lol, I was on the project as well... You know how the back of cereal boxes are ever so captivating? To me, millsberry was an extension of that experience.

Overall, I agree with Club but that doesn't mean that millsberry doesn't knock the socks off of it's postopian competition.

OMG! It's volte and dweedles!

I tried Millsbury for awhile...I got bored, though mostly I just forgot about it.

Volte6 · 2008-06-13 12:04:59

Yeah the lack of community can kill a site. They definitely had marketing behind it though... it's still on cereal boxes! Kind of cool though to see (from my POV)

Emmy · 2008-06-13 12:11:31

I think I ended up trying it because of a combination of cereal box ads and perhaps internet ads. I kind of liked it for awhile.

Volte6 · 2008-06-13 12:45:29

I have something like 900 billion millsbucks on my account. Shh. don't tell them.

Emmy · 2008-06-13 12:49:17

Dang. that is a lot of cash!

Eowyn · 2008-06-13 14:53:46

really? Huh. I figured most people had heard of Millsberry by now. oh well, it's not like you missed anything super-amazing-awesome.

Miraye · 2008-06-13 16:46:21

I really hope they chose MillsBills! Hilarious XD

Anyway, clearly I am just not on the bandwagon anymore because I've never heard of this. First off, the name reminds me too much of Pillsbury, and secondly...I must not be eating enough cereal because I normally LOVE the games and stuff on the back of the boxes! I particularly loved the days when you could get CD-ROM computer games in cereal That might have been Post though..

flutterbyandflutterbyp · 2008-06-17 10:35:11

In My opinion, I think millsberry is the best site out there! Mills Rocks! I love it!

sassy · 2008-06-17 10:44:50

Hey Volte6, since your character has so many of the coveted items, why don't you try giving them out randomly to people on the Millsberry forum?

Volte6 · 2008-06-17 10:53:01

Because sassy, i don't really know which ones ARE coveted, and i dunno, maybe I could do something cool with them like a contest

sassy · 2008-06-17 11:15:48

the medals around your millsberry buddy are coveted by all.

Volte6 · 2008-06-17 11:16:31

Hahah but my buddy look so cool... if i start pawning off his stuff soon he'll look too normal

sassy · 2008-06-17 11:47:27

Well maybe just one to me - since I have the 100 pts you ask for and more and I'm probably the 1st one!!!

sassy · 2008-06-17 12:00:39

I wasn't the 1st - Flutter was!

fiesty_sparkle · 2008-06-18 08:36:42

ragstorichesfan · 2008-06-21 12:11:34

Dear Volte6,
I for starters and an AVID Millsberry fan. My house id is ragstorichesfan on Millsberry (14 floors)
I am also a moderator of an online fan club called MFF. Millsberry Friends and Family. I am currently working on an actual Millsberry historical society of old screenshots. I was wondering if you had any shots of the way Mills used to look before the changes also if you happen to be one of the designers for Jennerias first visit I really need screen shots from that event. The rare items you have are almost impossible to find, even Sassy will tell you that (Hi sassy) The shirt with the medals I have searched 2 years for and have yet to find it as with the mod only items and one of a kind stuff. The Rock wall (by the way Aweosme) the round clocks, the Community Center Crown, the cocoa puffs crossword trophy, -- so many items. Anyways i would like to invite you to come look over Millsberry Friends and Family and see what you think. It would be an honor to have the original designer a member. Just google us. May I say for all 800 members we have -- Thank you for designing this game. I love the cereal art and to be able to have Lucky promos and Trix stuff --its awesome. So on that note please get in touch with us. Mills is the most fun game around.

Hello Volte6!

I personally loooove Millsberry! I always wished to meet a tech of Mills!
I hope we can become friends and I hope you share some pics that rags was talking about!

ragstorichesfan · 2008-07-07 15:06:35

Hey Volte6 -- sadly my tenure at MFF has come to an end but here is where you can find me -- I have so many more things to share with you , please come look me up

Millsberry Friends and Family arent very good any ways. I tried to get an account there. And it said it didnt support AOL as a browser!! So I dont think you lost much there.

yoda17471 · 2008-07-26 23:10:13

Hey Volte!

I love the items in your house! What do you plan to do with them?
