Involving yourself in stolen virtual property from young children is something to ashamed of, not joked about.

I've only got the numbers going back just over a year since these are from my own data rather than from the forum itself:

Possibly both, I think the mod we'd be likely to use has the ability to do both anyway.

You have to consider our performance against that of Neopets since they're inherently linked, over the last year the average amount of active users on Neopets has dropped by 20% (from ~12k last July to ~9.5k now) so we're actually doing pretty well in real terms. Cumulatively we've done better recently than at the same time last year.

I would pat you on the head if possible.
