About two months late, but welcome back to the forum.
I'm sure you've noticed it's a bit quiet these days.

I don't fully remember, but I believe U.B.Funkeys was an MMO. What I do remember is: 1. It had a promotion at Wendy's where they gave away CD-Rom demo discs in kids meals. 2. It's one of the first games in the Toys To Life genre, having come before Skylanders was a thing.

Ah I see. I wonder if it's still around anymore. Do you mind DMing me the discord link (if Teb doesn't see this)? Perhaps I'll check it out one day.

I don't have Discord, unfortunately, so I don't know what server he was referring to - sorry.
And to my knowledge: No, U.B. Funkeys isn't still around; it was shut down around 2010, apparently, so it was only online for about 3 years. Well, unless fans of it managed to do with it what was done with ToonTown and Club Penguin and made their own version of it, but if there is such a fan version, I'm unaware of it. It would certainly be neat to see, though, especially if they managed to remove the need for the toys. I used to have the full version of the game, alongside some of the toys and the USB statue figure thing you had to put the toys in, but they're all long gone now.

I see, thank you.
