Yazmin - January 23, 2009 at 4:50pm
I ♥♥♥ CLUBPENGUIN IT ROCKS clubpenguin is so much fun you can interact with people around the world and meet new friends waddle on
Gem-Joe - January 21, 2009 at 10:07am
I like cp but you should at least be alowed to cheat a little and have decarate your igloo if your not a member its just boring now just a bit like youtube cp is for babbyies now
Yassie - January 18, 2009 at 2:52pm
i think that if clubpenguin is going to put the clothes for the virtual world only for members they should at least let non members change their house and buy furniture.
livtheduck - January 15, 2009 at 3:10pm
okay it's really not fair like what if your poor and you cant afford then you cant even do anything cool on the clubpenguin and theirs all these cool looking penguins judging you because you are not a member so but theres no way you cant become a member without money and it isnt fair but ohh well.:(
hermoine4687 - January 11, 2009 at 6:10pm
i think you should listen to the comment well read them i love cp but i cant get the member ship.some parents cant pay for it.its a game for kids if it was for adults then you should pay.if you are going to fix this you should do it now beforeveryone lefes
desha11 - January 9, 2009 at 3:29pm
i love club penguin but the bad part is that you can not have parties. that is the bad part. can you let us have please.
young kong - January 4, 2009 at 9:51am
what is cp's email
Reries - January 3, 2009 at 5:45am
Why in the world is membership supposed to be free? I mean, THERE ARE FREE ITEMS! And anyway, if anyone mentioned"cyber-bulling",the person who bullied could be banned!
James - January 1, 2009 at 12:56am
I wish the money you earn on club penguin could pay for membership!
Phoenix, from Spain - December 27, 2008 at 7:06pm
This is a good game website. Many freindly people and many good games
Justin - December 22, 2008 at 5:24pm
They have to generate revenue somehow, and since there is no advertising stream in game, they have to charge for memberships. They have to cover costs for the servers and moderators who make it safe for kids to play. The server cost alone are probably through the roof considering how many people play.
berrysamrex - December 11, 2008 at 6:15am
hi i would like to know when there will be a crismas tree in club penguin thank you (berrysamrex)
Robin - December 4, 2008 at 4:12pm
hey people it's Robin just letting you know I love cp and it is very very fun!
Robin - November 30, 2008 at 11:49am
I agree with Irina. My penguin is a member but I feel bad for non members. They go and ern alot of coins and they don't get to spend it. Also like what Irina said they hunt for free items. Thats not fair for non members. I want non members to have the same fin as members. Like why can't they have a limit like only 3 shirts each new catolog. I think that is better than nothing at all.
Irina - November 30, 2008 at 2:42am
i agree that money should be paid, but i wish non members would at least have the right to put a shirt on their back and not have to cheat their way through the game. i know it cause i'm hunting for free items all the time... my mom doesn't have the money to pay for a memebership, since she'd have to buy one for my brother too
Karlita - October 25, 2008 at 2:57pm
Hi it's Karlita and I love clubpenguin.com they make the best partys in cp history. I love all the stuff about it and surprise stuff. like did you guys hear about the cp storm comming? I will remember cp for a long time. yours truly Karlita
jiddle3001 - October 25, 2008 at 2:56pm
hi CP, why is there secret codes and stuff like that to unlock secret items? write back sincery, Jiddle3001
Ian - October 25, 2008 at 8:15am
All the non-members are saying that they want fare share of things. But if you think about it if there was no membership that means that clubpenguin couldn't make changes to site!
anonymous - October 23, 2008 at 8:45am
I love Club Penguin but i think that there should be a store for non members so they can have some stuff. They will not get as much stuff as members but it will at least give them something to spend their coins on. Also, members that have expired should be able to keep all of the stuff they bought because they PAYED for that stuff and they should keep it cause they did not only buy it with their coins but with their REAL MONEY. Please take this comment into consideration. Many more people would enjoy Club Penguin this way.
snowbowl96 - October 15, 2008 at 8:29pm
Hey, I wish all the people who ever were members and now are non-members, should keep their member clothing. We are able to keep the member puffles, but we are not allowed to keep our member clothing. I want to keep my member clothing!!!
mico weto - October 12, 2008 at 11:21pm
CLUB PENGUIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! I love Club Penguin so much because ... well... because of everything! To me Club Penguin is life.
jonas - October 12, 2008 at 10:18pm
i don't mind paying a small fee for the game. i think its better than buying a wii game that i only play for a bit. plus on club penguin i can play with my cousin who live across the country. my friend showed me another site www.ecobuddies.com its really fun too!
unknown - October 9, 2008 at 6:06pm
i think they should let non members do some extra things that only members can do. like they can buy more puffles and buy clothes maybe only clothes and not wigs or something.
guoda - October 9, 2008 at 10:50am
hi people! im so so sad because im not a member because when my mum made me member everybody reported me and now im reported for ever i cant believe that! i didnt do anything. so now if they not gona make me reported im gonna play still but if its not gonna give me money im out! all the people say we need membership 4 free so that can everybody play and have some fun because you can buy some stuff like igloo and stuff for it or a puffles so now come on lets say we need membership for free till they gonna do that!
aznchayse - October 7, 2008 at 11:59am
members is obviously supposed to be paid for... so the company can still keep working and stuff it would be a good idea to have some children-safe ads and also maybe more updates for non members!
Chomp234 - October 6, 2008 at 10:05pm
hay membership is not free because they have to make money to make club penguin better and if some parents can't afford memberships that is just too bad!
Mac 97 - October 6, 2008 at 7:27pm
i think memberships should be free because other sites like Neopets and Youtube you ca nhave accounts and its free and some kids play regularly!
Jonathan.L. - October 6, 2008 at 6:55pm
every thing on clubpenguin should not be for members only.
Swwetionary - October 4, 2008 at 6:30pm
Hi Clubpenguin, I think membership should be free because maybe some kids parents can't afford membership. And the kid just wants to have fun on the internet. Plus it makes the kid sad if they see members in all new clothes and saying to them "You can't be my friend because your a non-member". That'd make the kid sad. If you made membership free it'd make everyone happy and you'd get more people join Clubpenguin. Or when the membership becomes free make it so the kid has to play games and get a certain something before being able to be a free-member. And its a good way to stop cyber-bullying. Thankyou for letting me have my say. Swwetionary P.s you could send me an email on princess_maddy18@hotmail.com to let me know what you think of what i wrote.
rubic - October 4, 2008 at 1:13pm
they should have a section for adds. If you click on google ads, they give the website money.
Rosie1798 - October 4, 2008 at 12:10pm
Club penguin is fun! but not for me because i am not a member. Also does anybody know anymore cheats?
fever - October 4, 2008 at 8:39am
hey club penguin is fun. you guys should check out my website for cheats. and by the way theres a contest and u can get free member ship! Check out my website!!
anica - October 4, 2008 at 8:36am
should have free membership.
lisa - October 4, 2008 at 1:16am
does the money go to charity and tell me the truth
lisa - October 4, 2008 at 1:11am
mebership should be free comon its just a kids game so it should be free
kittenmist - October 3, 2008 at 11:06pm
Hey there Billybob and the team. Just to let you know I do think you should pay for the membership, because it goes to charity. Club Penguin is a wonderful site, I love it. I am a member, but I understand that non members want it do be free. But it's going to charity, and I think that it is very nice. I look forward to the parties each month, I am looking forward to the halloween party this month. I also look forward to the clothing catalogue every month, the clothes are terrific. Thanks for making an awesome site, Billybob and the team. Love, Kittenmist
Michael - October 3, 2008 at 7:56pm
hi billy bob can you please make a free membership in the catalog that every one can get it for 555,555 coins
Miss me 101 - October 3, 2008 at 3:47pm
Yeah Club penguin should be free! it not really fair
Eva Sharple - October 3, 2008 at 2:53pm
I love clubpenguin so much but i wish there were more thing to do
Eva - October 3, 2008 at 2:52pm
dear Billy Bob, i hope you make the parties a little shorter im getting a head ache for the fall fair. Also I need Captin Rock Hopper. plus why dont you come on clubpenguin? But other than that I love clubpenguin my cussin and i always go on 247 i love your website so much Eva,
Billybob - October 3, 2008 at 8:10am
Wow, i'm so glad you enjoy my site! Just so you know, We make people pay for memberships because the money goes to charity! Waddle on, Billybob
Laleek - October 2, 2008 at 6:33pm

Well I am a member so I am perfectly fine with people staying at my igloo and helping me decorate my *Pop Star* Igloo!
Nathaliez - September 5, 2008 at 7:39pm

Reo 2008 - August 31, 2008 at 8:43am
I like the new soccer pitch but its quite hard to score. I also like the new furniture catalog, and my favorite furniture is the pizza cooker!
matias - August 26, 2008 at 4:23pm
hello the club penguin is very good! i like rochopper
Frankie - August 21, 2008 at 3:50am
Come on, they are a business. They need to make money too. Memberships are how they do it. I think it's good that you can still get so much stuff for free. They could make it no $ no entry and that would be really sad.
Nikki_101 - August 15, 2008 at 12:59pm
I think Club Penguin can be fun at times but it's not so fun when you can't buy stuff because you're not a member. I am not a member but it seems really cool. IF I COULD JUST BE ONE FOR FREE!!! LIKE ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT WANT IT FREE!!! But who listen to kids. >:( who even thought of making a website you have to pay for if you want to play? FIX IT!!!!! MAKE CLUB PENGUIN FREE!!!!
sheebeelay - July 27, 2008 at 2:05pm
omg u aint getting my pass lol anywayyyysss im on clubpenguin every day on icicle or grizzly sometimes half pipe but mostly icicle i am a member also click my name go to the website it sent u to and add me!!!!!!!!!! btw my cp name is sheebeelay i like to be in the plaza a lot cuz its quiet
Reo 2008 - July 27, 2008 at 4:42am
If you are a member, you can go backstage in the dock and you can buy lots of cool things, a blue bass guitar, a tuba, drum sticks, a violin, head phones and a snare drum.
Cool Boy 714 - July 24, 2008 at 7:31am
I'm going to create a virtual world kind of like Club Penguin.
eletrono1 - July 24, 2008 at 7:02am
i am so bored because you do not get to do nothing like dressing your penguin or finding new places most of all you cant decorate your igloo. BUT YOU HAVE TO PAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY
eletrono1 - July 24, 2008 at 6:59am
i am so bored because you do
jonewilknsun - July 19, 2008 at 4:54am
i think that a months membership should cost £2 a 6 months membership should cost £10 @ a years membership should cost £18
Reo 2008 - July 12, 2008 at 7:04am
I think the months membership should be £2.00 ($1.20) and the half a year membership should be £6.00 ($3.60) and the years membership should be £10.00 ($6.00)!!
Considering Suicide - June 30, 2008 at 7:58pm
Ditto. I wish they had F.R.E.E. memberships!
Kaddi28 - June 28, 2008 at 10:53pm
I love Club Penguin, and I've been playing since the May last year. I have heaps of items, yet, unfortunatly, I am not a member. I know that that is pratically the only way to make money from this game, but their could be other ways too. I think Club Penguin should run a contest to see who has the best idea to make money from it, & they get to have free membership for, say, 2 - 3 years. That way Club Penguin will have heaps of ways to make money. If you want to be my friend on Club Penguin, look for me in 'South Pole' in Australia. I'm really cool, mind you.
coly - June 23, 2008 at 12:14am
please let there be free membership!!
rajin - June 20, 2008 at 4:08pm
membership should be free!!!!
Cutegirl - June 13, 2008 at 3:29pm
It's not fair that u have to pay for a membership, i mean i luv club penguin, but not if u have to pay to be a member! My parents think it's a waste of money, but i don't think it is because it makes me happy, I LOVE CLUB PENGUIN!=)
Airea - June 11, 2008 at 12:14pm
Club Penguin is a very good site. Much better than Facebook or other virtual sites. It really does have great moderators and people. There is a large outbreak of mean people right now though; that's the only problem. Other than that, I pay 6.00 for a membership myself and it's great. It's worth the pay, people! =)
jacob - June 8, 2008 at 5:12pm
club penguin is the best it is worth the money to be a member i just think its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucy - June 7, 2008 at 4:36pm
I LOVE CLUB PENGUIN!! But it is really, really really, dumb to have to pay money for a membership People have better things to do with there money! I am a kid with a Club penguin and I have soo much fun I would be soooo happy if you please please have everyone in Club Penguin equal! oh, yeah I love ALL the Parties!!
pipsqueek - June 1, 2008 at 11:28pm

Yamfy - May 30, 2008 at 1:31pm

Ginnieve - May 22, 2008 at 9:32am
It's not nice to call Club Penguin stupid and dumb because, personally, I love it. I know, Webkinz rules too but still. And I love this website! So anyway, yeah. Toontown is not one of my favorite websites at all, no offense. I mean, what's the point? And the monkeys, horses, mice, and ducks are sooo ugly. I'm sorry. But Club Penguin shall reign FOREVER!
webkinz5025 - May 20, 2008 at 2:06pm
I played club penguin today it was so dum the tree house made me laugh.WEBKINZ ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rose - April 29, 2008 at 8:04am
If you are a player long enough, you can aquire enough stuff so that you look like a member, but you actually aren't! It's awesome, because Rockhopper brings such awesome stuff!
loveclubpenguin - April 21, 2008 at 6:21am
But it is no point if there was free member because everyone will look too good and it will be boring, don't you think? (I'm a member!)
