People have brought back cancelled shows before as recently as last year with a show on CBS called "Jericho" -- people sent the powers that be Nuts. The powers that be, relented, albeit for a shorter than normal season, but they caved to the demand. So it is possible to change the high-ups minds.

Is "Keep Moving Forward" their excuse for everything?

I think it is! Oh Walt, why did you have to say that? Why couldn't you have said something like "Always keep popular things opened"?!

But seriously, "Keep moving forward" doesn't mean you have to get rid of everything you just created. It could mean keep adding new things to VMK!!!

If anything the response should get everyone's efforts doubled! We have been noticed so let's keep it up!
The only thing that can happen wrong is they will continue with the present direction of closing VMK.

And I think Walt would be impressed by the support and love we have shown for our little Disney world!
Actually, this is not the way to get what you want.
Being melodramatic makes you look plain pathetic.
VMK, granted we all love it very much and have many memories, is a virtual game. Don't say it's more than that, because if you think it’s “more than a game,” you really need to get your head examined.
It is a game. It was always intended to be a game. That’s it.

I believe Walt would be shaking his head and laughing, actually...

They’ve already stated numerous times that they are going to close VMK, but have thanked you for your concerns.
Stop wasting your time.
VMK’s over.
Deceased, croaked, departed, shuffled off its mortal coil, bought the farm, slain, fallen, bit the big one, dead as a doornail, gone, out of business, late, lifeless, taking a dirt nap, kaput, worm food, cashed in its chips, finished, lapsed, pushing up daisies, terminated, inanimate, kicked the bucket, past its expiration date, nonliving, checked out, left the building, bitten the dust, passed away, passed on, isn’t-coming-back-for-the-sequel dead.
Get it? Got it?
Good.

The only pathetic look is rolling over and putting your legs up like a whipped dog.
Some have what it takes - some are willing to tuck their tails between their legs and scurry off.
Get it? Got it?
Good.

There are many parts of this that were a game, but the friends I made will continue on past this. I guess to some it is something else.
Head in no need of examination - sometimes you follow your dreams.

As many have said - this is the beginning.

Now Disney is taking notice of what is happening and this will be questioned within Disney - this is where we need to keep fighting strong, we might have a chance!

(for those who want us to stop - we are fighting in something we believe in, which will never stop us, so please let us continue)

So in other words you can easily shake you head and say - it's only a mouse. why do people get so emotional over a mouse? cause that is what essentially created disney. a FICTIONAL character. people became attached to this fictional character. and I don't mind saying it at all - I would be devastated if they stopped making mickey mouse cartoons. I would be picketing outside of the doors trying to get mickey back. same goes for vmk. yes, i did also become attached to this "mickey mouse" inspired game. and I personally do think everyone is doing the right thing standing up for something they have become attached to.

i do not discount your beliefs, but please do not belittle the beliefs of the vmk players trying to save something they DO feel so strongly about.

Also to add to this matter - did the founders of America give up when England bombarded the colonists with new laws and regulation? I think not. Americans stood up and fought to obtain this great nation. Did MLK give up with the fight against segregation? I think not! Did Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony give up to gain the woman's right to vote? I think not! Granted all these examples are way beyond the importance of a virtual game, but the point is we are in America and sometimes you just need to stand up for what you believe in. All these now historic figures were laughed at when they made their stands, but things changed for the better with their stances.

I say GREAT WORK VMK PLAYERS! KEEP IT UP!

Disney is always moving forward and take one thing away and put something else, but doesn't ever close an entire park down thats just not right, and then to say pay to go to the park and get quest stuff or pay to buy pins to get stuff and then pay for movies to get stuff and then just take it all away from us! and I got the same letter to tell me to pay to play their other sites WHY if they are just going to take it away again! I think they will be sorry for this bc the people that have those memberships that they are relying on for toon town,potc and club penguine will be canceling them and not reneweing bc most play those and this, and if do this to VMK they will not want anything to do with Disney, and as far as bad press for Disney well they brought this on themselves. I hope they wake up and realize this is not right and not even making this a pay to play they would make so much money if thats all they are after, which is wrong but to just take this away period and say ok you lose all your money you spent on this and your time and now go pay to play our other stuff! Do they really think people will be happy and do that NOPE. So besides writing and calling you need to stop paying to play all those other sites that they think are so much more important than this one.

If vmk is just a game, then WDW is just a theme park. Vmk is wonderful system that lets you communicate with countless people around the world in a matter of seconds, yea vmk is still a game. but its a game with alot of depth to it.
