I'd be all over every item if this were a ribbon catcher, but I have basically astronomically high standards for jewel items because I can of course only get so many ;__; so I won't be going for this

I've had enough of this jewel poop, what about us money-less ribbon users?

well...what a surprise, another jewel catcher. luckily nothing in there interests me. but I find it very silly that we get yet another jewel catcher. I guess these things make a load of money for the site or something.

Looks like I won't be getting any of these items either, I am without jewels and I'm not buying more for this catcher *le shrug*

Wow, I love this catcher! ;__; (which is bad news because I'll be spending more money for it and I don't have any orz) I wasn't really tempted by the previous ones, so I don't feel so outraged, but I'm really thinking Poupee might have got into financial trouble again... which is not good news, obviously :/

Poupée has gotten into financial trouble before? It certainly seems like it right now T-T

I have never heard of that either. but I have not been on the site much for the last year. makes sense though with the financial crisis, people stop spending money on sites like this. don't know how the situation in Japan is though.

Well, it must have been because it changed the owner last year (and I've read somewhere it wasn't even the first time). I vaguely remember it happened about around the time they had to get rid of the catcher bonus thing. I'm sure they lost a lot of money because of that and that's why the new company came up with the rather pricey limited redboxed items like the wall+floor sets or the wigs.
Also, I remember a brief time about 2 years ago when pretty much the only updates were only one jewel catcher after another, unconnected to events. I really think they had to do it because they needed money. Sometimes it seems to me like the users don't even consider how costly must running such a site efficiently be - although I do believe Poupee gets the most of its budget from advertisement.
Ishje, Japan has been in pretty bad financial crisis for quite some time (when the economy finally started to go up, the earthquake happened). From my observations I'd say that the Japanese users generally invest much more money into the site than foreigners though.

i'd love to learn more about the origins of poupeegirl and hear from it's creators, maybe see behind the scenes. sometimes i think about the motives behind it, sure as a japanese social media site (although the social side of it within the site itself is really lacking), but sometimes i feel like it's one big market research project...
...which makes this all sound very sinister XD
