Bearville was a website that not only made memories but constructed ones childhood. It's completely and utterly understandable that it may have not as been popular as it was before, but there were those who stood by it regardless. I myself have been a customer of this franchise for more than ten years. I have collected these bears for so long and continue to do so. It has brought so many undying memories and it is saddening to see it go. I believe if people pitch out and prove that it is wanted, there is a chance for it being brought back. I feel that shutting down this virtual site may also be the cause of lower income in the stores. Children used to buy these bears to able to bring them to life, and now that, that experience is gone, it just makes the bears just like any other regular bear. The idea of bringing your bear to life was something that differentiated this company from many others. I believe it is unfair to those who spent so much for themselves or their children to have the best online experience, to have it be ripped away from them. Something like this website shouldn't just be faded away from one's memory and forgotten forever. I strongly consider bringing this website back could benefit not only the customers who truly miss it, but the company itself. A lot of money was invested into this website to just shut it down due to popularity decrease. Slight changes could have played a huge part in drawing people in. I myself have seen those who refuse to buy another bear now that this has occurred. Virtual sites like these not only drew in children but teens due to the fact you could create memories, make friends, and be happy; You could let your imagination set free. There were those who only even bought the bear just to get the certificate and play online. I understand this is a hard change to make, but it is completely worth the try.
