I think they are counting on keeping the "child" demographic, so it probably seems to us that it "dies" as we get older...
I can quite possibly see this being the case.

its popularity just might be on a steady decline and I agree with Roxi. There's just no advertising it seems. For a site that is connected with nickelodeon, I would expect to see a neopets commercial during every other commercial break. In all my years playing, I might have seen maybe 5 commercials for neopets and they were ads for the video game.. not for joining

I saw some advertisements for the NC Mall a year or so ago. I don't really watch TV anymore so I don't know if they're still running them.

I saw some advertisements for neopets a few month ago, but it was just advertising the game room. -.- I guess those ads didn't really help because it didn't tell people a website to go to.

Ah well, there's always that nostalgia so I'll keep on playing at least.

Ya, I think it will as well - thanks to all the "likes" features and such.I'm thinking the facebook aspect will bring in more middle-high schoolers, as it can't bring in more children, technically. It won't be catering to the older crowd, because few, if any, of them will be advertising their love of neopets =P

Things have definitely been on the decline since Viacom bought Neopets: http://www.quantcast.com/neopets.com
I found a more in-depth graph from this site on a dude's user lookup, but now I can't find it. However, you can still see about a 3.5 year span on this graph and how much the site's traffic has declined.

Actually I think that more people ABing is a manifestation of how the game is dying...If there is no AB, then neopets will dead forever...lol

User Lookup: river_rat_28Here's the lookup I was looking for: http://www.neopets.c...nd=river_rat_28
He kind of correlates the rises and declines in traffic with all the plots and whatnot. Kinda interesting.

Why do you think they dropped so fast? And what new things do you think is helping bring their popularity back - in your opinion?In my opinion in the last 3 years they have dropped VERY FAST. But since October it seems like they're gaining back popularity a little it will actually 30,000 Players now and almost 35,000.

I actually don't know why they got so big in the first place, actually. Sure the site was fun and revolutionary in its time, but they barely had any advertising, yet they still had a ton of people online each day. Of course, the addition of flash game ads and banner ads is probably taking its toll on the population.

It dropped so fast because TNT became dumb, and with the switch to Nicklodian, they just tried to drain the money. Lack of plots, over advertizement of NC, etc...

They all left to play WoW...
