I have been asked to put this in its own thread to make sure it gets noticed. I'll add that I never saw an ad for VMK on this site.
Speaking of Neopets, a FREE game paid for by advertisements with a pay to play option... I have a premium account there meaning I pay to play just so I don't have to have the sponsor links at the bottom of each page. I got tired of accidentally clicking on links to send flowers to my friends in India. But that's not my real point.
The really sick, probably ironic thing is Disney is a Neopets sponsor. If you go to the Neopets games section, they have a Sponsor Games category. I "watch" the ads in the Adver-Video game for the easy points. I can't tell you how many times I've seen ads for Fairies, the new POTC game and some other thing having to do with characters like Stitch and Simba on some hand held gaming thing. Obviously I don't watch the ads very carefully. There also is a "Which character are you most like?" quiz game for the Prince Caspian movie that is another source of easy points. That's Disney too, right?
It's kind of sick that Disney pays to keep Neopets a free game, yet can't be bothered to continue to support VMK.
Perhaps someone who is more eloquent than I am could point this out to Disney.
Something that keeps creeping into my mind is Neopets. That site was created by two bored college students. Fast forward 10 years and look what it's become! What happened? They chose to go commercial. They started selling plushies, toys, school accessories, TRADING CARDS (with item codes), and made the site HUGELY successful.
The difference. Neopets chose to be successful. Someone realized it would be and ran with it. Now those founders are crazy rich!
This story is proof if given a chance, anything can be successful! Disney just failed to see that in VMK. Which is a shame.
