Can you imagine the turmoil that would cause?![]()

We can request, politely.

Some of us waste over 12 hours a day everyday at ungodly hours on neopets. Then after years of this get frozen.
I think I have the right to complain.

Until you're in the company, looking at the books, and you have an insiders knowledge of whats going on, you don't have an argument. Because you don't have the information to back yourself up. Newspapers, and magazines can say a lot of things, but that doesn't make them true.
