Maybe the arcade game Whack a Mole is a trademark and they violated the legal aspects of that. Whack a staff member is a computer version of the game...

I'll bet you're exactly right. I looked it up and Whac-A-Mole (yes, spelled without a "k") merchandise is still being made by the original company that invented it back in '71.

I'm almost sure that's the reason, because there's a big bubble on the Whac-A-Mole official website that says "Licensees Only".

The big bubble isn't the reason. It just warns people that they don't want their Whac-A-Mole name used unless they authorise it.

It is the 'TM' beside the name at the top that tells you they have a trademark on the name and that there could be a problem for Neopets if the Whac-A-Mole people decide to sue them.

OMG I'm not crazy!!! I started to think maybe I made up Whack-A-Kass since it didn't say that anymore... and I was all confused... but yeah I don't like the new name at all.
