Panfu Help: June 2011

Well, you want to know what happened? I want to know too.

1. My computer crashed AGAIN. For the 17th time so far. I don't know why I'm still not getting a new computer. I have the money for it...
2. When I got that fixed up on June 15 or something, my server CRASHED. So I wasn't able to get on the internet.
3. When THAT was fixed, my browser crashed and THAT took 2 days...
4. Then BLOGGER CRASHED! Talk about my luck... I emailed them and they told me that too many people were posting or something.
5. And here I am!

And plus, I've been busy creating some pretty neat games and playing Angry Birds... Those monkeys won't die, won't they?

Because of this, we're starting with a pretty nice contest. The first 25 people to email the word "Puffle" to panfuhelp@yahoo.com win what I like to call "Unlimited Prizes." It's what it sounds...

YOU WILL GET UNLIMITED PRIZES FROM OUR CREDITS PAGE, FOREVER! Tell me what you want (if there's no more crashes) and you'll get it within 48 hours, guaranteed!*

*Except for crashes...

Also, if you have stored credits, you now have double credits. :)

Also, new prizes. YOU CAN NOW CUSTOM ORDER ANYTHING YOU WANT, YES ANYTHING! If you want an iPad, a Wii, a new computer, just email me, and you have it! That was easy.

YOU CAN ALSO CUSTOM ORDER APPS, SONGS AND MORE FROM THE iTUNES APP STORE! Yep.

1,000 points can get you almost 2 new iPads!

Because today is National Donation Day too, (At least I think it was), I'm donating $5,000,000 to... I don't know. If you have any suggestions, please email!

There might be another small period without any updates. Why? Because my computer is S U P E R slow right now! It's taking 5 seconds for ONE CHARACTER to appear on the screen! More posts when it's fixed. For the contest, if you won, I'll email you back. If you didn't, I won't.

See you later!

Today is International Children’s Day!

June 1st, 2011

Hiya Pandas!

Happy Children’s Day to all of you!!

Today, we’re calling the shots!

That’s why we’ll give space to YOUR words. Over the course of the last week, you busily participated in thesurvey in the Kids Section. You told us what you like and dislike about being a kid.

Today, on Children’s Day, we present a few of the most common answers:

What is the best thing about being a kid?

♥ You get cool gifts.

♥ Sweets, Chocolate

♥ You have fun and can fool around.

♥ Parents always watch out for you.

♥ You don’t have to work yet.

♥ Playing Panfu

♥ You have a lot of time to play.

♥ You don’t have worries or responsibilities.

♥ You get spoiled and get everything you want.

♥ Best friends

What is the worst thing about being a kid?

- School and homework

- You don’t get taken seriously.

- You have to go to bed early.

- Older kids pick on you.

- Tidying your room and other household chores

- You are not allowed to decide anything by yourself.

- Fighting with parents

- Eating greens

- You can’t do everything, for example, you can’t drive a car.

- A lot of stuff is blamed on kids.

Do you feel the same way? We’ll show you some more of your answers soon.

We also have a funny story about Paul the Kid and another kid who is also sporting a beard to share with you. Who this ‘kid’ is, we’ll tell you only in a little while.
Remember: today is Gold Panda Day and Children’s Day Party in Paul the Kid’s room.

Paws up for Panfu
Max and Ella

P.S. For all “Be Smarter” fans: the game is functional again! So you now have a chance of winning 500 Panda coins at our knowledge quiz every day! Make your piggy bank happy.

Panfu chat opening hours

May 31st, 2011

Hi there all talkative Pandas,

As you know, the Panfu chat is always moderated, so when ever it is open, we need a moderator to keep an eye on it. When ever you speak or someone speaks to you, the moderator is keeping you safe and making sure nobody’s being bullied.

The Panfu chat opening hours will now slightly change. The chat will be open for a little bit shorter time, but don’t worry. It only affects the time when most Pandas are in school or not chatting much anyway.

The moderators need sleep too, right?

Yes, Max, I’m sure they do.

From the 1^stJune 2011 the chat will be open

Mon-Fri: 08 am – 03 am Greenwich time
Weekends and school holidays: 24 hours/day

So that’s the time in Great Britan and Ireland. But remember many Pandas on Panfu.com are in different countries that are on different time zones. But we’ve chosen these times so that Pandas on all areas can get the nicest possible chatting times. For other countries you just deduct or add the number that your time zone states. For instance in Sydney, Australia the chat’s open from 08 pm til 03 pm, and in Los Angeles, USA it’s open from 03 am til midnight.

Hmmm… So right now my cousin who lives in Australia is already going to bed?!

It’s like they live in the future! Cool!

Hehe, sure Max, I guess you can say that.

Keep chatting safely Pandas!

Paws up for Panfu,Max and Ella

Baby Furniture for Shrunken Pandas

May 31st, 2011

Good Morning Pandas,

Today, the big Children’s Day Party is kicking off in Paul the Kid’s room. Admission only for shrunken Pandas! Before you go to the party, you’ll have to go to Prof. Bookworm’s lab in the Cave and turn yourselves into a small Panda in the Shrinking Machine, just like I did:

Well, little Max, shall I make you a bottle?

No thanks, I already had some baby food a little while ago.

With the new furniture, it’s a lot of fun to be a baby:

Cool special effect: The furniture is interactive! If you click on the fridge, it opens. With a click on the crib, it starts rocking and a lullaby starts. You’ll be asleep in no time!

Zzzzzzz

Oops, little Max seems to need a little nap now, too.

Today, Pan Lee will teach you the second Kung Fu lesson. This is not for your muscles, but for your eyes! Pan Lee will explain it to you on the Castle Terrace. Enjoy the training and the Children’s Day Party! I will go and shrink myself now, too.

Remember: today and tomorrow is Gold Panda Day!! Apart from that, aChildren’s Day Present is waiting for every Panda at their Tree House!

Paws up for Panfu,

Ella (and little Max)

Surprise: Two Gold Panda Days and Children’s Day Party!

May 30th, 2011

Hello Party Pandas

Children’s Day is only two days away!
Are you looking forward to it? Our youngest Panda is especially nervous: Paul the Kid. For him, it’s the first Children’s Day in over 30 years (you’ll remember that he turned from Krucio into a kid last summer). That’s why Kamaria has planned a huge Children’s Day Party in Paul the Kid’s Room – with balloons, flags from many countries and of course proper party music!

The party is nothing for the faint-hearted, though. It’ll be on for two days: Tuesday and Wednesday! But that’s not the only surprise. The next two days are also…well, do you maybe already know?

Of course! GOLD PANDA DAYS!! That’s what it says in the headline.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, all Pandas can use ALL functions of a Gold Membership for free, buy clothes and furniture, drive a car, feed pets and use the Shrinking Machine to let themselves be shrunk to Paul the Kid’s size.

You even have to do that to be able to participate in the Children’s Day Party. There will be a bouncer who is tough as nails. If you’re too big, you’re staying out!

Man, he’s quite strict. But it’s supposed to be a Kid’s Party after all, adults not permitted.

Paws up for Panfu,

Ella and Max

P.S. The Panfu chat hours will slightly change starting from Wednesday the 1st June. We’ll tell you more tomorrow!

Big “Kung Fu Panda 2″ Competition

May 29th, 2011

Hi- ya! Huu-a! Ha-li!

Hello Pandas! These unintelligible words aren’t Max’ new way to greet you, but they’re exclamations used in Kung Fu. Max is training every day, in the hopes of one day becoming just as famous as Po of “Kung Fu Panda 2″.

He’s my Kung Fu role model (besides your great-great-greatgrandfather Pan Lee, of course!

) Maybe some day I will save Panfu and go down in the history of Panfu.

You’re up for some tough competition there! As you know, Pan Lee is introducing every Panda to the art of Kung Fu. Lessons will continue on Tuesday. Until then, you can perfect your moves on the Castle Terrace. Speaking of which, how’s your training going with the great master?

As promised, there’s a competition for the movie “Kung Fu Panda 2″. 3 lucky winners will receive fan packages that contain a paper lantern, a frisbee and a Po door hook.

Please answer the following question and send your answer, your Panda name and your postal address to until June 3rd. Please note that this competition is open to UK RESIDENTS ONLY!

Question:

What’s the name of the father of our famous dragon warrior Po in “Kung Fu Panda 2″?

Mr. Ping
Lord Shen
Master Viper

Here’s a tip for you: We already mentioned the name in another blog post where we wrote about “Kung Fu Panda 2″

Join the Pandamonium this Half-Term!

Paws up for Panfu,

Ella and Max

Pan Lee Turns Into a Kid

May 29th, 2011

Good Morning Pandas,

I think that Ella’s great-great-greatgrandfather Pan Lee feels pandatastic on Panfu! He really seems to flourish, even though he is over 100 years old!

It’s us young Pandas who make him feel that good. He feels rejuvenated.

Also, Pan Lee grew up on Panfu. He is reliving memories of his childhood. He got into a lot of mischief back then!

Oh yeah, I can believe that! Pan Lee is almost turning into a kid again! You should have seen him yesterday. I got to the Castle Terrace to train Kung Fu with him. I stood at the banister, totally focused. My eyes were closed while I tried to find my center and suddenly…POP!!

I almost fell over the banister, I was that shocked. What was that? A popped paper bag? A firecracker?

Neither of those! Pan Lee just made a huge gum bubble and in the middle of my exercise, he popped it.

My great-great-greatgrandfather is quite cool, isn’t he?

Yeah. And in the end, he was covered in bubble gum, too.

Sweet!!
Now I have to tell you something sad. Unfortunately, Max and I just don’t manage to reply to your comments anymore. We discovered that it is just too much work besides school and the regular blog entries. We’re really sad about that – please don’t be mad at us! Of course you can always contact the Panfu Team for any technical questions that you might have. On the Help Pages, you can also find many answers on logging in, registration or problems with the game. Of course we will continue to read all your comments. That’s just so much fun!

Paws up for Panfu

Ella and Max

P.S. We also have good news: Tomorrow, we’ll have a nice thing to report to you about, but we won’t say what it is yet. Just this much: I can feel a party atmosphere!

You Voted: Panfu’s Pandartista 2011

May 28th, 2011

Howdy Pandas,

It’s time! Today, we will announce the winners of the fantastic and spectacular Panfu Circus Video Competition!

You will surely remember the desperate ringmaster who had almost lost all hope for the Panfu Circus World.

Almost!

As it turned out, hundreds of Pandas had kept their unique artistic qualities hidden until that point. They only revealed themselves when we called for a video competition. At the end of the competition, we had received over 500 videos from Pandas all over the world, which are all very unique in their own special way. Not only were the tricks creative and diverse. You also proved that you are new media savvy! Some cut their videos, added music or other special effects! For that, we want to give you a big round of applause and also our…RESPECT!

With so many great entries, it was difficult to choose the 20 finalists. In the end, YOU acted as the jury and could vote for your favourite. Pandas from 10 Panfu communities watched the videos and voted for them. The judges live in France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, the USA, Australia, Austria, Poland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Switzerland, Germany and more. Quite the international crowd, isn’t it?

It’s almost like the Eurovision Song Contest.

Professor Bookworm entered the results of all countries into his computer and using a complicated formula, found out who the winners are. Here are the results. Drum Roll and a big round of applause for our
