Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even if they reach their goal of signatures, Archie doesn't HAVE to even acknowledge the existence of the project.
Uhhhhh, what "Project"?
I'm not trying to be critical about people trying, but honestly I find this a wasted effort (specifically since their most recent signer was "Dick Butt" from Austin Texas) because 1) Their numbers are very few, 2) If SEGA has made certain requirements that Archie might not be able to refuse regardless of fans demands, and 3) We're still barely seeing the new changes, and while we likely won't see the Penders characters back, there are plenty of changes we could still see that are good.
Change.org eventually removes the fake signatures if they cannot verify them. And as for your numbered entries.
1) 732 now. Sure, they will REALLY listen to their wallets, but this is to ensure that the wrong message is not sent. Even today it grew a little faster than I thought.
2) I don't think this has too much to do with that.
3) It's just to get the lost characters back. There may be a few good changes in this new universe (even though I highly doubt that), but that's not what this is about. What about when this new "Shattered World" arc concludes and everyone tries to restore everything and the multiverse returns. Why can't this new universe be part of the multiverse after it returns?
A petition to keep up to a third of the characters in the sonic comics from being lost forever.

To those who want to give this "new direction" a chance, don't say I didn't warn you.
