Bad press? VMK closing just made TV news some time ago. That means Disney is gonna have a whole hive of controversy flying straight towards their direction.

As for giving up... HA! I don't know the meaning of it!

Disney is a business, pure and simple. They play on our sense of Magic, Fantasy and false reality, but they are a business.

Businesses want to make money. Maybe with the attention that this could potentilly gain, they would understand that keeping it open is a sound business decision.

Think about it; the hardest part of "Creating" a business is getting people to it. Well here are approx. 11,000 people driving their business and marketing for them. Disney can sit back and reap the benefits.

It's nothing personal, Disney... It's just good business.

Okay, nvm.

What are we supposed to do, sit helplessly while Disney takes down a fantastic virtual game that we've loved playing for nearly three years?

[Riot]

What else do we suggest we do?
Make fools of ourselves and make petetions and such and then look back and see that it didn't help at all?
P.S I know that I am probably going to lose a lot of your respect for this.

Were not a Batman, Spider-Man, Super-Man, or Captain America but we can make a difference.

Here are some quotes that say not to

Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense
- Winston Churchill

Never, never, never, never give up
- Winston Churchill

In other words. Don't give up to save VMK. Don't think negative THINK POSITIVE.

A strong positive attitude will create more miracles than any wonder medicine.

Patricia Neal

You see.. Even important ppl say "DON'T GIVE UP"

I'll take that option.

The day VMK closes, sure I'll be silent. But until that day comes, I am not gonna go out without a fight. Frankly, I probably won't go out without a fight if VMK closes either.

P.S. You've lost no respect. You have opinions too, and we all can accept that. No offense meant of course.

Actually I am the Green Lantern

But seriously, Riot I think the problem is, most of us have come to terms with the fact that the game will more than likely not be saved. However, we feel the need to try. Anything can happen.

And (without sounding flaming because you are entitled to your opinion) the general opinion of this forum is to try to keep it. Negative people don't help. It's a very defeatist attitude to say give up. People who don't want to support the cause don't have to, but don't distract those that are fighting for the cause.

Capn olaf
I see what you mean buuuut
what do you think this fighting is going to do?
Disney just watches us and probably wonders why we are putting up such a fight
when they know its not going to change anything.
P.S alrightyy
^^
Can't you just like face the fact thats its closing and stop all this "Save VMK."

Maybe its good VMK is closing
its such an obsession to some people..

Well at least we would know some tried.
We already know what not trying will accomplish.
If you are not into doing something to try and make a difference that is fine.
Just do not discourage the efforts of others.
Sometimes the few make a difference for the many.

I tried to
i sent in a letter and all the business
then when i got automated replies
and the same remarks on the phone.
I realized what am I doing?
this isn't helping anything.
Disney WANTS attention
and we are giving it to them
so if we didn't try it wouldn't give Disney the satisfaction of getting attentipn for closing the game,

[wdmountie]

I agree with Stunt and CapnOlaf - what is the harm in fighting.

Sure it may be inevitable that VMK closes, however how do we know for sure unless we do something about it. You can not start change unless you do something about it. I am very proud to be supporting the players trying to make a difference. It is the GREAT thing about this country. We can speak up and make change happen. And I think that is one of the reasons I am supporting this. Because we are teaching children the American way! If you don't like something, do something, but peacefully! As long as we have voices, use them! Disney is hearing us. They can choose to save vmk or continue to close it. But why not try? I think this is a great game worth fighting for! A game that the whole family can play together, without violence or negativity!

[Riot]

But do we want to give Disney the satisfaction of all this attention they are getting because of our fighting?

[mrmyth]

Uh.. yes!
We want them to know that we want this product!

[iRaccoon]

wait- Riot DOES have a point.

buuuuuuuuuuut

Others are leaving Disney saying "WHAT!? Thats it Charlie we're abandoning Disney- Now lets go watch One-Missed-Call!"

"YAY!" Charlie said.
