Open the Rainbow Fountain

This happens to new players of all ages every day. They cannot paint their pet the color they want. "Get rich and work for it," is what the callused player says. Would you say that to an 8 year-old kid? Would you say that to somebody older who logs on once, maybe twice a week, and wants to play games and feed their pet?
Most players are shocked when they realize the price of paintbrushes these days. Below are a few examples of what prices have risen to.

I don't think Neostaff realizes how much paintbrush inflation is killing the game. Most players feel painting their pet is a BASIC part of the game. I am having to buy paintbrushes for my friends' children because their children cannot afford the brushes and they are very sad! I wonder how many other kids want to play the game, but quit because they are frustrated?
The SOLUTION to this problem? REOPEN THE RAINBOW FOUNTAIN!!!
I believe reopening the Rainbow Fountain is the best option. The old location can be found here http://www.neopets.com/faerieland/rainbowfountain.phtml.
If you dont know what the Rainbow Fountain was, please read relationshippers Neopian Times article here http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=2995&week=15.
If the Rainbow Fountain were reopened, players would visit Neopets sponsors in droves. Since the rainbow passes are a non-transferrable, non-sellable item, opportunists could not sell the passes at ridiculous prices. Paintbrushes would retain their collector value, still work, and still be given out as normal. Of course, the Rainbow Fountain would NOT allow players to paint their pets robot or baby.
This makes the players who want to paint their pets happy. This keeps the paint brush collectors happy. This makes Neopets sponsors happy.

To Whom It May Concern:
Can you please consider reopening the Rainbow Fountain? I would enjoy playing Neopets a lot more if I could paint my pet a cool color. Right now paintbrushes cost too much, and I do not want to spend hours trying to earn enough Neopoints to buy one. Thank you for your time!
