Good Morning Neopia :D

The Marble Grarrl has ammonites inside !!! making it a fossil ...!! it is a brilliant idea i think !! Galem's outfit is good .. I like the patched pants

What @Angeló The Enabler said! The Marble Grarrl looks great, such a unique design! Love it! The outfit is really cool too, I love these cosplay outfits, and this is a good one. I especially appreciate how the mask is tailored to the Grarrl`s head and face, so it sits naturally around the pets features without looking awkwardly tacked on.

oh, yeah. from what I understand, the events are this: - There was an offsite discord channel set up to discuss the neopets nfts. - One of the mods was posting homophobic slurs in the discord. - When met with complaints, there was no apology, nor was he removed as a mod. - The other mods, when asked to add the slur to the chat filter bot, said that it would be too difficult. - However, there was eventually a chat filter installed, which filtered out the word "gay." Which isn't an offensive word by itself, and so doesn't need to be censored. - The mod was eventually removed from power after several days. - TNT posted a vague wishy-washy apology to the neoboards. there's a more thorough explaination here: http://www.neopets.com/~Scroggs (scroll down to "Controversies") and here: https://www.jellyneo.net/?comments=13863 There was another petpage with screencaps of the actual discord conversations, but last i heard it got taken down. personally im not really surprised by the non-apology, it was probably either written or dictated by one of the jumpstart people, not tnt themselves, and i do kind of agree that tnt (the devs, not jumpstart) aren't and shouldn't be responsible for moderating offsite communities (the lion's share of the blame lies with the channel owner and the other mods for not removing the mod from power asap). but it's still kind of telling that these are the people that the neopets brand is willingly associating with. i've also seen allegations that the company handling the nfts has been promoting nsfw projects on their twitter, although i can't confirm this as i don't have twitter. either way, this partner is clearly not a good match for neopets (although personally im of the opinion that nfts in general aren't a good fit for neopets because trying to merge communities two decades removed from each other is just... ludicrously silly, but that's neither here nor there) EDIT: Neopets Metaverse Fork so, looks like the plan for the nfts is to create a fork of the site "on the blockchain" https://neopetsmetaverse.medium.com/the-long-game-58d6c0f760c this from the neopets metaverse twitter (because god forbid they actually announce things on their actual site). this is just... i really have no words. EDIT#2: discord channel transphobia and leaked conversations the person with the discord screencaps has put them back up, albeit censored. http://www.neopets.com/~Swonken additional discord controversies: - leaked conversation from the metaverse admins talking about how ucs/pet slots should be released to "distract" the site's userbase away from the nft fiasco and increase PR - and also how there should be some "metaverse neopoints" with a "low barrier to entry" - and how there should be "better moderation" on the discord - on the public channels, accusations of someone intentionally misgendering another user, when brought to the mod's attention they're advised to "just ignore" - and another user threatening to stalk someone on twitter for the purposes of getting them banned last two haven't been addressed yet afaik EDIT#3: TNT discord chatlogs http://www.neopets.com/~Splorg some additional comments from gutterfoot on the reason behind the delay, and a response to the leaked chatlogs about releasing uc/pet slots

so is there nothing else we can do except sit and wait ? i was able to load a streaming website yesterday which i couldn't before (with the not secure https on top) but TDN is still refusing to load , at all

it was one of those "sorry you were offended" apologies, with a helping of "not our fault anyway"

SO FLIPPIN' CUTE!!!!! Underwater pizza, so niche! x'D If it's a water pizza that's gonna cause some serious logistical issues. xDD The ray is fired at domaniala... ... and she goes down to level 1 But... nothing happens. It makes a kind of 'zzrrrppptttt' sound before shutting down completely. The creepy Kookith shoos you away and appears quite angry, so you hightail it out of there before he shoots some miniature laser beam at you or something. The ray is fired at domaniala... ... and she loses 3 strength points Puppup shall now be known as Pants McGee. How nice.
