"Some dispute Neopets' registered users count, which has reached over 85 million, a figure Neopets often cites in promotional campaigns. A large percentage of these users are multiple secondary accounts owned by one person, frozen accounts or accounts no longer in use. Such accounts are never deleted, and even accounts that have not been accessed since the creation of the site linger. The actual number of active accounts is less than 11 million"

hmmm it seems like they've done their research :thinking:

Actually, they haven't done their research. Official Neopets figures (The ones that they send to companies who might work with them) is that while there are 85 million registered accounts, the number of actual users is estimated at 23 million. So obviously these people are just full of it. :roll:

They don't use over inflated false numbers to 'sell' the site. The actual figure they use the most to promote is the 'stickiness' of the website, the average time users stay on the site per visit; "An average of 4 hours 2 minutes per month [Nielson//NetRatings - June 2004 (US at Home & Work, Domain)]. Ranked 1st on the entire Internet for sites > 600,000 uniques." That and unique pageveiws per day are the actual focus. NOT the number of accounts.

At the next best rated Youth-Targeted site (EverythingGirl.com) the stickiness is a little under an hour. THAT is what they promote- that kids spend four times more time on this site then any other site they might be interested in.

Anyone can edit that... :roll:

That's stupid. What if someome came in and messed it up? I don't think anyone who reads it should get to edit it.

I don't see ppt either... I don't see anything about fansites. Well, it was edited at midnite today (8 hours ago), I don't know how I'm not seeing about ppt... Edit - nevermind. I found it on the Discussion page.

The advantage of the Wiki system is that everyone can edit it (we're actually doing a project about wikis in school right now). So if someone messes it up, you can just re-edit it. Also, the Wiki system keeps backlogs of every Version, thus if it is deleted / majorly distorted, you can just say "edit" and then "restore [xx] version."

Again, if you know it better, just press edit, correct the facts, and voila ^^

Still others believe that the users of Neopets are poorly treated and considered nothing more than mere statistics, that the site has lost its friendliness over the years, and that the level of customer service has degraded considerably. Many users voice the opinion that the Neopets staff freeze accounts too often and without good reason.

How true is that! It's VERY true. :oops:

If you're wondering, I corrected some stuff and put that:

ALL HAIL PPT! Thingamajiggy.

Ok, I know we're all proud of being PPTers, but the last thing we want is another fight between us and another fan site. Let's keep the "All Hail PPT" and things off the article

When I went, there was a big "Neopets Sucks" in the middle, which was quickly removed. Wiki is created and edited by the people who visit there and the moderators of it.

OH! I thought that it was something wher eyou write and article or stub and submit it. I wrote one about Idiotville Oregon. It shows up in all those zany books of worthless facts and in e0mail forwards, but it is a HISTORICAL town. That means it does not exist anymore.
