"I feel very strongly that the removal of the volunteer guides would be a grave injustice to the faithful players who come to thiese games on a daily basis."

"EA made a very bad decision that will only hurt pogo.com"

"We the players really need these guides to stay with pogo.They do a pretty good job with most of the problems that come about here on pogo. We really need to keep peace, so I think the guides should stay."

"WE NEED OUR GUIDES BACK"

"i feel that unless the guide program is reinstated that the number of players in pogo.com will decline very rapidly"

"I think what EA.com in ridding the site of the POGO guides is obsurd. It was the guides that kept the site together and treated the players the way that they should be treated. "
