a sentimental board to reflect on our good times with the dying neopets
-buying my first neopets toy, a blue wocky and then signing up for neopets.com at the tender age of 7
-gettiing my first painted pet, a cloud chia who i begged for on a board for an hour. and then later pounded and ran itno the previous owner on the board a few months later and them asking where the cloud chia went and me saying "oh i transfered it to a side" "which side" "the un has a lot of numbers so i can't remember rn"
-my first friend on neopets. we both realyl wanted an angelpuss. I lied and told her i had a devilpuss when I didn't
-making my first neopet, PAT1483484784 because that was a code i saw on his barcode or somethng and i thought that was his name -having my first battledome fights fighting inflatable balthazar and feeling accomplished when i won
-joinin my first guild, dedicated to helping endangered species which the leader deleted after like 3 days /shot
-JOINING PPO and advertising on the FC and getting a bunch of new members and having fun on the boards.
-constant neomails between me and poppy that said *drags you to the guild board*
-when i accidnetally said "hell" instead of "hello" and literally ran away from my computer crying.
-how much i loved my red shoyru, bruing_red_ashes
-my snowickle plushie named wicky that was my FAVORITE toy when I was little.
-my backstabbing best friend constnalty calling wicky ugly and losing him in vegetation.
-not letting my little cousin play with me because I wanted to spend time alone with wicky.
-playing kacheek seek to make neopoints.
-my first autobuy.
-getting into constant fights on the neoboards about peta and grammar.
-my first roleplay. it was such a trainwreck. only 1 person in the rp bothered to interact with me, it was a cat roleplay and all i remmeber was my character being a persian and having kittens in a tree and the other character being really mad about him having kittens for some reason
-someone on neopets falunting their faerie lenny and being like "youll never have pets like these"
-the first alatador cup, with me on team krawk island.
-ghost constnalty reminding me that the neopet named egg64 was a yellow acara

(NOT IN ORDER) -at the age of 6 or 7, saw the school nurse's kids/grandkids/nieces (?) playing neoquest on her computer, asked what game it was. they told me neopets, so I went to join it -joining at the age of 6-7, but couldn't activate my account bc my dad didn't get the email, still made the best of it -having my brother help me make my first email, just for neopets, and rejoining at age 9 with my own email -the 200+ neofriends and roleplay buddies I had -IMS101, who was a very good neofriend of mine, but a fucking asshole bc she accused me of scamming her, which I didn't (and I was 9? /shot) then she disappeared and I asked yahoo answers where she was /sot -PPO, it was all by CHANCE that poppy was online when I made a petz5 board, it changed my life -faeries' ruin -selling a nermkid for 500k in an auction but misunderstanding how auctions worked so accidentally charged someone 750k they got mad and we had to sort it out then became (not very close) friends. -arishia hahahahahahahahaha but no some of the memories of her were happy -getting the lab map -buying so much neopets merchandise: a scorchio robot toy, a stuffed white techo, a bunch of other little stuffed neopets (like 8 of them maybe), neopets card starter deck + tcg playmat

(mostly in chronological order, shit this is long)
first joining neo as paws329 when i was 10, but entered my parents' email wrong so i could never activate the account
you couldn't edit your email address to resend the activation so i had self-freeze and remake as paws229 with the correct email
passed the paws229 account on to pip, it had the wrong age made a new "cool" account neopaws787 which became my main (yet somehow has pips bday with my birth year)
creating my first 2 pets, kirluci2971 the gelert and tilleri8776 the kougra (i literally chose the first names that came up in the old random name generator)
entering them into the beauty contest by making really shitty mspaint clothing edits onto the baby gelert and baby kougra images
reading some persons article in the neopian times that dissed edit-type BC entries, and writing them a really long angry neomail defending those of us who used MSpaint, only for it to not go through because their inbox was full
making some zafara named "luckycloverneo67", pounding her, then later regretting it because someone else adopted her so I made an mspaint drawing of her that said "luckycloverneo67... I will miss you"
i briefly tried to form a guild, called the K G or Kougra Gelert guild, but once i made the icon and stuff I didn't know what else to do with it and no one joined so i just deleted it and joined some guild about baby neopets instead /shot
getting my first neopets plushies that christmas, starry scorchio white aisha and jumbo white kougra in the denim drawstring bag
having to always ask mom for permission to connect to the internet and go on neopets for like half an hour because it was dialup and tied up the phone line
lying about how long i'd been on neopets to buy more time before needing to disconnect
playing games like escape from meridell castle (and having to wait ages for the flash games to load)
Decorating our valentine collection boxes in 5th grade and I made mine into a gelert
my friend in 5th grade talking to me about her account (which had her freaking zipcode in the un) and telling me her password was "peanut"
a few days after my 11th birthday, buying some cheap little blue pogo stick at academy for 7 bucks and was so happy about it that I used it as inspiration for my new side account without numbers, pogopetkid
logging on that acct and creating my first cybunny, AquamarineJewl
seeing some person with "fyter" in their username and thinking it was so cool that i literally ripped them off and made another side account called fyterpet366 (deleted it later cause i did nothing with it shto)
checking out Limited Too every time we visited a mall to see if they had any cool neopets plushies to add to my collection
pip and I using the "how to draw" guides to draw neopets on some big paper
making what was pretty much my only real friend in 6th grade by us bonding over neopets (i distinctly remember us being on the bus chatting, she asked if i had a neo account and i said "I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER SAY THAT")
trying to get my parents to sign that consent form so i could use the neoboards on my main, but it got put off for so long that a year passed and I actually turned 13 /shot
trying my hand at RP for the first ever on the neoboards (i think it was something gay like forest animals where I was a hawk or falcon)
a decade ago, joined a bustling Lion King guild which I stayed in even after it died and every active member had left neo by like 2008
meeting someone via that guild (was tlk_zira at the time but left neo) who became an internet friend and later kept in contact via deviantart but i have no idea where she is now
when mcdonalds had neopets toys (twice) my siblings and I had to go constantly to collect as many as possible even though we dont really like mcd's
we each got a different colored mcd's jubjub and often put them on a blanket to toss them into the air like a 90s gym class parachute session
when there was a mini-boom on neo from all the new people joining after getting the mcd's toys
having to make a mini-booklet about the simple machines for 7th grade science class and I chose to illustrate it with neopets (e.g. kacheek introducing the screw, eyrie talking about wedges)
spending schoolnights trawling the RP and FC boards when I was 14, covering up the computer lights and keeping an eye out for mom and dad so they wouldn't know I was staying up so late
making a lot of neofriends from all the random RP threads I participated in
neomailing my aforementioned 6th grade friend on her old neo account, and she actually happened to answer so we got back in contact again for a short period (by this time she had become a weeb and directed me to her new account, sangoandmiroku799)
when the neo site overhaul/conversion happened and everyone was freaking out, there were only like 4 wearable items at first so everyone was getting them, the pound was down for like ever which tortured me
when I was in WINGS (summer activity program thing at junior high) and would always go on neo during computer lab times to play in Altador Cups I and II (i was on maraqua in those)
the guy who sat next to me in the computer lab saw me on neo and I convinced him to join
pip got big into this sweeney todd guild and I joined too on one of my sides (guild-crashing?) and made friends with her friends /shot
I also joined this harry potter guild called the burrow beyond, it was pretty good with very active nice members so it lasted a long time, didn't leave til I started college. i was sorted to hufflepuff because i told them I didn't care where I went.
2008 I reevaluated my neolife and decided to stop mucking around on the social parts of the site, get my butt in gear and start grindin' for cash to make my pets nice
earned my first million and got the lab map that year, started zapping my pets and others to adopt out/trade
when one of my cousins was younger, if I were on neo at my grandparents house i would let her "play" fashion fever to get me neopoints /shot
that fateful day when I decided to look for a petz-themed guild and found PPO <3<3<3
when i read that fanfic and created an ixi named Seven_Incher that got deleted within MINUTES

frick that reminds me when I first made my shop, I would rotate the shopkeeper between all different species of baby neopet and the greeting was always "Buy my stuff, or I'll cry! WAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
