To start,
I know not everyone on ppt supports the Dae o' Akshun...I wasn't trying to lump you all into a group, I was just objectively stating some facts about the office.

Well, i mean, obviously it's nice to see shoomlah again, but given that we are the "big-bad" fansite apparantly, why didnt TNT bother sending someone "higher" up the ranks.
Erm, Neopets didn't send me; I was just relatively annoyed after reading the whole Day of Action debacle on the main page, and as my writer friend and I were contesting the points made, I decided they should probably be voiced. The Day of Action isn't going to have as much of an impact as people suspect, so, while most of the office knows about it, it's not really a concern... The site may run faster and restockers may have a field day, but otherwise, meh- it's a Saturday and we're out of the office.
Also, a note to everyone replying to this thread, I'm just an artist- I can't address all of your questions (duh), and I'm just stating my perspective on this whole situation. I'm not asking everyone to get to know each and every one of The Neopets Team so we can be hated on a more
personal level, I'm just asking people to stop assuming we're such money-mongering, self-centered little arses. We do care about the site, surprisingly.

2. There SHOULD be hundreds of staff working behind neopets, the sheer workload can't possibly be effectively and efficently managed by a mere 25 workers, and I'm sure the neopets corporation earns enough to finance the extra labour force.
I'm not the one to bug about financial issues; we have maybe 70+ people working at Neopets (25
monitors) and that seems to work dandy for the time being (new people are hired when the need arises, remember), and don't underestimate the millions it takes to keep up webspace and bandwidth.

3. 40% is probably an exaggeration, but the principle behind it holds true. Too many innocent people are frozen, far more than can be adequately accounted for by your rules and regulations, and this is something which must be publicaly addressed. Why isn't there ever any news about frozen accounts? Why are there no guidelines about what exactly can and cannot be done?
And again, lots of us don't like the freezing system. Lots of us want to change it. We're trying.
Yarr.
