Too bad about the COPPA Act. The intended target audience is impossible unless the chatlines and names were narrow pre-determined choices ala Toontown.

  It's not a daily quest; the longer you play, the lighter your skin becomes.

  Does the game end when my nose falls off or do I just respawn at my plastic surgeons with my last face and pigmentation settings?

How come you're such a fussy young man?
Complaining 'bout the jokes if people come to play?
You better settle down, or be modded as a troll, so
quit it, just quit it.
Is there a reason you don't wanna behave?
Expecting stupid parodies or tech news you crave?
Just remember samzenpus is editor today, so
quit it, just quit it.
Quit it! Quit it! Don't you make me submit it!
Have an Insightful, have a +5,
if you don't like it then post some dumb flame, and
quit it (quit it, quit it)
