Llama told me to feel free to post these on the community board, so here's one of them. All the rest are more or less the same, just using different metaphors, etc., in an attempt to appeal to as many Disney staff as possible:
Dear sir/madam,
I am writing to you to protest the closure of Club Penguin. You are very likely too old to have grown up with the internet, and as such I shall compare my experiences on Club Penguin with something that you yourself may be familiar with - a playground. As a child at the age of six, I first went to the playground that is Club Penguin, and from then I was hooked. I moved several times as a kid and my parents divorced when I was eight, but this playground was a place that I could always go to to seek comfort. As all children do, I eventually got older, and started going to the playground less, and the times that I returned it felt off. They took down the trusty old swing set and replaced it with a newer swing set - sure, it's still swings, but it doesn't have the same emotional attachment connected to it (this is how I felt when you replaced the PSA with the EPF). They built another slide to accommodate more people. But, all in all, the place still appealed to young children, and so it retained the essence of what it was, and when I was feeling blue or nostalgic I could return and find the old tree next to the playground that was still intact, or the old monkey bars that were still there, and feel almost like a young kid again. And then all of a sudden, after having known the place for over a decade, the city council decided to tear down the playground and replace it with a carpark and a mobile app for kids. This is what you shutting down Club Penguin feels like to me and the two hundred million children who grew up on your wonderful game.
I'd always hoped that, if I were to have children as an adult, they would be able to go on Club Penguin and have a feel for the better days of my childhood, just like how you likely take your kids to the playground that you visited at their age. However, this relic, this cherished relic, of my past is no more. Never again will children be able to feel the joy that I was once able to when I was a kid playing Club Penguin.
I just wanted to let you know what you shutting down Club Penguin means to me and your millions of fans.
Sincerely,
Timpookie
