Hello weevils!
I have observed the past fortnight or so where particular occurrences on Bin Weevils have resulted in yet another duo topic post! Let me start with the recent addition on the blog where it appears as if a few posts have completely removed the comments sectioned attached to them:

Okay, just why? Why the hell did you remove one of the greatest features which allows a player to express their thoughts on a particular issue? I mean, even if you do only approve the positive based comments, you are still viewing every message sent and the idea that you have removed this feature will simply result in us all being silenced which will be very risky on your behalf being as you have no idea how your own customers feel but that's if you EVEN bother updating your game anymore anyway so I guess it doesn't matter to you does it?
The only reasons I can really think of as to why 55Pixels have done this is either that they are running low on moderators that they can't even look through sent comments or simply that they themselves are extremely embarrassed about their low population and so thus want to cover it up from the whole wide world or even both! And who knows? Maybe they have got too emotionally upset over having to handle any possible negative comments sent in since the game itself is virtually no longer liked by near enough anybody! Regardless, this is certainly not a wise thing to do and if you really don't have anyone to look through submitted comments, then how the hell do you manage to have staff who can actually maintain and update two online games!? You really need to just consider yourself as a company because the future surely looks very bleak at the moment and its hard enough as it is watching you trying to keep Bin Weevils alive!
Moving on, you know how I rant about how 55Pixels promote? Well, it appears as if I have to bring up the issue for the one millionth time already because just look at one of their latest ways of trying to advertise:

Oh my freaking God! Why is there too much login page covering up the Beano? Wait, its the other way round where the Beano is covering up? Heavens to betsy! Bin Weevils has became a freaking online billboard!
I honestly thought their current ways of advertising were awful and I just couldn't think it could get any worse but yet again, 55Pixels prove me wrong! Haven't you annoyed children enough already by forcing these large advertisements down their throat? The cheek of it all is especially shown when their own advertisement boxes which are SPECIFICALLY used for adverts (and is of a suitable size) are simply being used to promote their OWN games! What!? Why couldn't you have put this Beano promotion in one of the boxes? Wouldn't that have made sense?
Gosh 55Pixels, this is clear desperation for some quick cash ain't it? And honestly, had you not spent the time you had delivering updates which you knew would annoy most of your player base, you would likely not be in this mess begin with! And I don't even know whether or not what you have done breaks the advertisement guidelines set out by SuperAwesome so you might qualify YET AGAIN for being over the top on all your promotions!
The mess has clearly became a lot more messier. Honestly 55Pixels, if you haven't the cash and haven't the staff to actually regulate your two online platforms, just do the decent thing - and file for bankruptcy!
That's it for this post!
