Okay, now we know that they lost sight of their player base. If only 39% of the players are under the age of 13, then why are they catering to that market?!
Oh, that's right... because they don't want us older folks there, because we won't impulsively buy their stuff!!!!

I want to see this. If it's true, then they need to hire more people to FIX their mistakes!!!

Democratic Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa plans to introduce a bill this week that would reinstate the Federal Trade Commission's ability to issue rules on unfair advertising to children (the ad industry now abides by voluntary guidelines).
Hmmm... do this and Neopets will definately go down the tubes, since they've lost most of their adult players and won't get it back unless they make and effort to de-sugar the site and to be honest, it might not come back, even then.

Yeah, and my grandmother sells used cars on Mars. They are making a profit of this, just like Neopets. It's a back-scratching situation.
Oh, this definately won't help Neopets, either, since the number one issue in many households is the kid-based advertising.
Amazing what one can come up with when one is given a cardboard box and a roll of duct-tape!
