1. Nintendo does not write up their own articles, but actually gets them from other places just like many other stories and headlines you see and read. Therefore- I am not sure if contacting them would necessarily help.

2. I dont see how contacting your local news station or newspaper would be much help either. Sure, you are getting the story out to the public, but not many people will care for as many probably don't even know of VMK. The news stations are there to have full coverage of what people want to see and know about. Therefore news about the presidential race, the economy, the war, etc. will definitely be before anything regarding a free virtual game closing.

I am not saying to give up, but I wouldn't bother writing your local newspaper unless it's a "bigger" paper that covers more than just the surrounding area news. Although if you live in the Orlando or Anaheim areas it would be good to hit up those local newspapers.

Things I'll try to do to save vmk:

1.Sign petitions and even make a charity event to send money to WDIG trying to keep vmk open.
2.Contact local news and newspaper.
3. Pray for luck or a miracle.
4.Keep on emailing Stephen Wadsworth and complain.

Thanks for the info on Nintendo, and I am contacting both cities' papers later today after school.

Thank you! I have seen threads about this and I am glad to know I am not in the open wearing a steak suit.

Even though VMK was for the 50th promotion thingie for Disney, it doesn't mean it can't continue

FabMariah · #20 04-14-2008, 08:27 PM

Let's make this happen! We can do it!

I LOVE How Everyone Has Such A Positive Attitude! I Contacted My Local News Too

To..

My Wii!!

That's a great idea! Also, if any of you have websites, make a section about this and promote that part of your site! If this makes it on any news station, I'd like to know so I cand watch it.

Here's the headline now:

Disney Makes Thousands of People Mad by Closing a Popular Site!

Lol ;-)

The Wii News gets all their info from the Associated Press. Contact them, not Wii News.

Let's keep up the work, i sent it to Disney's cities' newspapers!

EDIT: Look on this tomorrow morning

Gtg now but Keep up the good work!
EDIT2: And, WE HAVE MADE NEWS! My local newspaper has published it on THE FRONT PAGE! It shall stay there for at least this week, they said. This also means that Disney will have to consider this. The massive amounts of money they will lose due to this publicity are HUGE! Keep up the good work!

***GoodPolarGirl*** · #27 04-15-2008, 09:14 PM

I looked all over the internet and found the news! I have to admit, this is pretty great. Glad it made it on your paper too. Our next target?

hikoik · #28 04-16-2008, 08:43 PM

.-. I'm not happy about vmk closing either...... but....... the governor? o.o aren't we getting Just A Bit over our heads?
what reason does he have to try and keep open a small advertisement made by disney?
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, and it could work, proven with the news story and stuff, but yeah.

2starTagregory · #29 04-16-2008, 10:51 PM

Uh.. Thank you? I just have to say awesome job VMKF!

Even though my country has nothing to do with Disney, I'll try to find a news channel to send it to.

I don't think they will ever accept my letter if I send it because Canada + Disney just don't mix. And Canda is more of a, well, the place I live in there are ALWAYS more important news going on so I don't know...
