Neopets was sold to Viacom in 2005 (and again last year). The founder isn't especially relevant anymore.

According to Wikipedia, he did, at one point, try to add Scientology content, but was stopped by the two main people.[0] (Doug is just the business guy.)

Wikipedia also notes: "Dohring used Scientology's Org Board to manage the company." That's a management technique that L. Ron Hubbard claimed originated with an 80 trillion year old galactic civilization.

According to Kotaku, an anonymous ex-employee claimed that: "The negative aspects of NeoPets, all came from the side of Scientology-Oriented business structure/psyche." https://web.archive.org/web/20071115124238/http://www.kotaku...

Seems like someone should make a Scientology-free alternative.

And now he's just gotten heavily involved in electronic education platforms for young children, and presumably learned his lesson on how to keep from being stopped again.

Seems like this sort of grave implication shouldn’t be made without some sort of evidence.
