This really shows not only how quickly misinformation spreads, but how belovedal and what a big part of our childhoods Poptropica really is. I'm glad it was just a hoax.
I'm still beefing on the title he chose. I get it was meant to engage in viewers but damn, he literally made a whole video about a hoax and had us questioning if it was closing or not. I would've preferred the title Poptropica not Closing.
Man, Poptropica brings back memories. I remember in 3rd grade, this group of kids shared with me one of their ‘secret games’. That turned out to be Poptropica. I remember being confused and not knowing anything, but I still liked walking around the map and exploring. I might give the game a go again! :)
This was my childhood. I remember going to the poptropica website every time when I was in school. It was so fun. Thank goodness it’s not shutting down.
I remember playing this in 2nd grade. I’m almost 22 now. I tried a couple times to log into my plus decade old account since I got exclusive items for free as a kid, but I guess my account was either deleted or I forgot the password. Not like the islands in the game are good anymore anyway
They're trying to bring back the islands, but it takes a while to transfer all of them from Flash. There have been some ways to access old islands, but that depends.
I was one of those kids to help others in the computer lab when they were stuck on an island because I used to watch Thinknoodle's walk-throughs obsessively back then.
This is essentially the Streisand Effect in Full action. The Internet being told that Poptropica was shutting down when it really isn’t has actually got the community talking, giving the game a Lot more attention than before. I’ve never played it but hopefully it never shuts down…
I was surprised that Poptropica has crossed over with Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, and Peanuts. It would be interesting if they crossed over with SpongeBob, Adventure Time, and more recent cartoon properties.
Poptropica is still a great game. I have so many great memories with this game. I can remember you use to get 100 credits for completing an island then some years later it was changed to a lower amount (maybe 75 credits). My favorite island was Greek Mythology. One of my favorite props in the game was the lightning staff. When you pressed the spacebar while holding the lightning staff, lightning bolts would come out. I always thought Poptropica was a little weird for being a game with very little to no sound at all, but it was a very fun and very popular game.
I grew up with poptropica alongside club Penguin and the build-a-bear virtual world and the reality tv island was the first one I got a medal on. The second was the superhero island.
Poptropica was my childhood. I remember not being able to figure out most of the islands except 24 carrot and monkey wrench. I remember always watching thinknoodles’s guides on poptropica too and watching his road to captain thinknoodles series. Good times. When I saw this title I literally gasped out loud. I’m so glad it’s not shutting down. I think I’m gonna replay poptropica today.
I used to play this game when I was really young tbh I kinda forgot about it I'm surprised it still running and I'm very glad it is I would be really bummed out if it ever shuts down some day I grown up with Poptropica through my childhood playing with irl friends, meeting new ones online, and just basically having fun on the game keep on going Poptropica 💜💜
I really hope it isn’t. That was the first online game I ever played growing up that truly let my imagination expand… EDIT: nvm, it ain’t! thank goodness 🙏
Poptropica is one of my favorite games of all time! Back in the day, it was absolutely amazing, and I still have my account from 2009! In its current state, it's honestly a shell of what it once was, but not quite dead yet and still hanging onto life somehow. I'm glad that the post about it shutting down is fake, and I'm glad that it brought more attention to the game and how special it is!🖤💜
It’s 100% fine, most of the old islands are unavailable due to flash player ending, but there’s new islands and a few old one still accessible, so no worries!
Man, I’m really gonna miss Poptropica when does one day shut down. I used to play a lot when I was little. I had so much fun memories playing that game. I just hope Poptropica still lives long enough for a new generation to experience the magic I had playing it.
I had a heart attack when I saw this. I remember going to my library and renting the guides to beat some of the islands. My friends and I would play it so much in 3rd grade. Carried my child hood.
Poptropica was awesome. I remember as soon as you were done with your work in the computer lab we all would get to play whatever games we wanted and we all played poptropica and animal jam. It was a wonderful time to be a kid in the late 2000s to early 2010s
It's kind of funny actually, I honestly thought Poptropica died a while ago. Honestly had no idea that it was still really around. I remember I played it a lot in middle school through high school, But I played it back when it first got popular. I'm sure by now it's a lot bigger and more expansive than I remember. I'm sure I wouldn't even recognize the game by now. And it's crazy how the idea of this game shutting down brought so many people back, despite the fact that they could play it at any time they wanted. I'll definitely have to revisit that old website to see everything that I missed out on.
It's been a while because transferring from Flash into something else for all of the islands takes a very long time. Although, there has been shortcuts to still access old islands, but it depends.
I miss that game so much. I remember that game was always a major part of my life during elementary and middle school. The only reason why I don't come back to it is because most of the islands are gone and there is a very limited amount on there now, but I still watch the walk throughs just for the sake of nostalgia.
poptropica was one of the favorites i had and still kinda is tho the islands gotten easier as i now seen its like its being drained of being a hard puzzle game as i remember it to be
I’ve made so many poptropica accounts and I had one account that conquered almost all of the islands they had at the time (my favorite was always Mythology Island). Glad they’re not shutting down! Definitely gonna play it again.
It's so weird that there's another user with the exact same name and profile as the official account. I never heard of this before, but it looks interesting.
Genuninley respect this man for not only bringing back so much nostalgia, but also talking about stuff that isn't mentioned much ( like poptropica). Keep up the good work man!❤
I remember having my Mata Nui outfit. I stopped playing one day and never came back. Sure my account is lost or deleted. But it was fun back in the day!
I remember that try use to air these virtual worlds in ads on Toon Disney, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network back in the day. With the likes of NeoPets, Wizards 101, and Toontown.
i'm glad that coolmath is still keeping poptropica alive, i've been playing poptropica since ALL the way in 2012 so i'm kinda a veteran also THEY GOT RID OF MEMBERSHIPS SO THAT'S A W
I’ve remembered playing Poptropica. The flash version at least. It was fun to go through worlds and explore what’s going on in the island. I even had a guide book for the game and I still couldn’t progress. I never wanted to read After flash was gone, the OG Poptropica was gone along with many other islands that are still gone. Only a few got added to the new version, but it’s just not the same without the other islands But that doesn’t mean I don’t like the game, I still have a soft spot for it and whenever the Pop team brings back more of the islands (or maybe someone could upload the OG flash version in the archives), then I will happily go play it again ^_^
I'm thankful the game is still gonna live on as someone who only played this and never played club penguin. Its not as good as it used to be with the majority of islands being gone from the game due to flash dying and the team simply not being big enough to restore them all to HTML5. Still its fun to download it on my tablet every now and then and play the islands it does have. I'm rooting for the team to keep working and maybe be able to restore the islands.
poptropica better not shut down, that shit was my entire childhood!!! i popped back on not too long ago and was saddened that almost all the original islands are gone :( edit: i just downloaded the app :)
I’ve played poptropica since the 5th grade, but ever since the recent storyline started suddenly shuffling between continuity and the blimp expedition 🏝️ (surviving winter 🥶); just kinda not done it since high school and knowingly enough, the older fan base is in their mid 20s.
Anyone recall your elementary school owning the complete guide to Poptropica… and it was always used so you could never get your 8yr old hands on it?!? Gosh miss those days…
Okay I can't believe that thank god that Poptropica is not shutting down because Me and my sister played that game back then on the computer and it was so fun and if it was gone then I would be very sad because I would never play it again but thank god it's not shutting down which is good
The thing that I find weird though is the fact that they made their revenue free for this month with no announcement or anything, and their socials have not made a post since September as well their blog has not made a post since February, so are we sure that the game is going to live?
When I first saw the discord post, I was feeling very sad. I had played Poptropica for a long time now. And I remember having fun completing each island. It had that nostalgic feeling. I still know my login to my old account. And I was originally thinking of getting on for the last day like people did for club penguin. But good thing that it was a hoax. 😂
I miss the golden era of virtual worlds :(
Same :(

I haven’t played Poptropica in YEARS, but after this video, I’m probably gonna play it again for a good shot of nostalgia.
My only regret is I don't remember my password to my account. Haven't played in like... nine years? (4th Grade)
Look up a tutorial on how to play the old islands, they’re mostly gone due to the transition off flash player
Same, it reminds me of elementary school days
It’s fake
I wouldn't recommend it all the old island are gone last time I checked

Well, you know OG Poptropica was supported by Flash. When Flash died, all of the accounts and most of the Islands got deleted.

And it still can be because it’s not shutting down
I'm glad that I played Poptropica when I was five. It was fun, even if I only ever finished one storyline-

poptropica is one of those childhood games that i barely remember anything about but just remember that it was one of the best games ever.

The creator of DOAWK also made Poptropica
Wait really???? That why the game cross over with the books so often
Well Jeff Kinney made Poptropica

You brought me back with this one.

Real
It was my childhood
Man its been so many years, i think I'm going to return and revisit some good old memories, one of my favorite games back then
Is it really still gonna survive? Because I’m confused now. Poptropica is part of my childhood!

I would believe that the official Poptropica was hacked
I am so relieved that Poptropica is going to remain the same,I've been wanting to get back into Poptropica

I saw a random post on reddit about poptropica and came back after years. I'm glad it's not leaving, but i would like the islands back
When was the last time I heard the word "Poptropica"?
Well this is unfortunate
Noooo! Not the Scholastic book crossover game... 😢
That first comment is legendary.
even if this is fake i dont want this game to go, its like one of the only hopes left
I’ve never played poptropica before, but this video surprised me that it still existed (club penguin which i always played shut down)
Vail, you CilckBaiter, you almost made me cry.
Rest In Peace.
