Neopets Recession or worse, Depression--you decide

Low shop sales seem to be a common thread right now. So would you say that we are in a recession or depression. Sales seemed to have tanked and no category has been spared. Share your thoughts and what do you think it will take to break the dry spell.

I've never seen a commercial on TV for Neo *lol* Hmmm, you'd think they'd advertise on Nick and Nick Jr.... you know... being a Nick property... Then again, I don't have either of those channels, so I'd never see it anyway.

So we need a way to appeal adults too.
