Also, about the Time Magazine article. It did have an anti-Neopets bent, but it didn't mention glitches or customer service, or any of the DoA complaints, rather it was saying that Neopets immersive advertising was *too* successful and it was morally wrong to influence children in this way. That kind of "negative publicity" is actually good news to neopets' advertisers.


It didn't mention glitches or customer service--yet.
That's only because the reporter doesn't yet have a clue about any of the glitches or poor customer service. But, if he gets a letter or two or so, maybe he will then have a clue.

And, actually the negative publicity isn't good for the sponsors. If you check out a recent article in the Daily Californian, both Ralph Nader and the World Health Organization are targetting Neopets because of its "immersive advertising." And, the Times article states that Senator Harkin is going to introduce a bill this week to allow the FTC to issue rules about unfair advertising to children. If Nader and WHO make a big enough stink and the government gets involved, no advertiser will want to be associated with Neopets.

And, hey, I really respect your opinion about not wanting to participate. Thanks for not bashing those who are.

Basically I believe the debate on this should come to a close now. Granted that some of you have been well, however, there are some instances where there has been a bit towards flaming. Whether it has been towards TNT or not , it should end.
