What is the reason behind the sudden, drastic inflation in price of just about every P3 on the market right now? Searching the trading post for nearly any P3 (with a few exceptions) shows the asking price has inflated at least a few million from the last known price on item databases like Jellyneo. The Cooty, for example, has gone from 3.3m to 10m.
Am I out of the loop on something? Why such a steep price hike in less than a month?

A brand new colour is available today titled: Valentine! You can currently purchase the paint brush from the Hidden Tower for a lovely 3,000,000 neopoints.

Yep - to be sure, I had my boyfriend (who lives with me) try to access the site from his computer. He was also blocked despite not having an account or even having been on the site before, so it was definitely IP related.
I've been unblocked now and haven't had any issues since. Hopefully it stays that way.

Good to know they're aware of the issue and are working on it! I've sent in a ticket last night with the same screenshot I posted above, so hopefully they'll get back to me soon.
Interesting that they just straight up block your IP. I can at least use Tor browser's encryption feature to bypass the block for the time being.

They requested on the Neoboards to submit a ticket to them with your reference number and explaining what you were doing so they can unblock your IP.

It's nice to see some long-time forumers are still hanging around! In about four months, my TDNF account will be 10 years old.
I feel I've changed drastically from the twelve-year-old who made an account here ten years ago, to the point where listing all the differences could fill an entire book.
I'll just note the similarities instead: still obsessed with cats and Xweetoks. Some things never change lol
 
Edit: I just remembered that when I was twelve, I hated the colour pink with every fiber of my being... now liking pink is a major aspect of my personality 🥴

That doesn't sound legal. I'm not an expert on US law, but that sounds like her doctors might be attempting to strong-arm her into going along with it without questioning it.
I'd strongly recommend that she asks them to provide her with a statement regarding this in writing, and/or get a lawyer ASAP.

That's just awful. They're outlawing (hormonal) contraception as well, even if you've had the device implanted prior to the ban? Can you even be forced to remove an IUD against your will? That sounds like a major bodily violation.
At this rate it seems like they want people to be forced into having children no matter what. I just can't understand the thought process behind that. Pregnancy should not be an unavoidable 'punishment'.
I'm really sorry for you and your fiance - that sounds like a dreadful situation to be in.

Actually, the legality of vasectomies has never been up for debate in the US--it's legal as long as you're 18 years or older, and will continue to be so. 
It's why a LOT of people are upset about the double standard of reproductive health care for people with uteruses, because those with a vas never have to request permission to receive a vasectomy (other than referral from a primary care physician like all specialized surgeries). However, those with a uterus have, depending on the state, to receive written or in-person permission from their husband/father or will otherwise be given a TON of shit by their doctors if they want a hysterectomy. Go figure, right?

I agree with @Musical_Shoyru! Even though I feel that, while all life is important (even that of a spider or a snail for example) up until a point, a person should also be allowed to make decisions about their own body.
Each and every one should also be allowed to just have their own opinion. I am for that reason keeping a close eye on this thread, and I hope we can all keep it a friendly discussion!
If at one point this thread becomes hostile towards people with different believes I will close this to keep the forum friendly!
 
I personally am sad about this law because this would mean that this freedom of believe and opinion can't be executed. People that are against abortion aren't forced into abortion, but people who feel differently about that are being forced to either move or worse.

 

As a non-American I'm quite frankly shocked that less than a dozen people are allowed to make decisions like these, decisions that will affect the lives of millions of people.
This is a decision that will result in pregnant people not receiving proper health care, children resented by parents who didn't want them, pregnant people dying in childbirth because of health complications, people forced to seek out unsafe methods of abortion, birth control becoming increasingly difficult if not outright impossible to acquire, impoverished families being unable to properly care for their children, etc. etc.
This also sets a major precedent for American citizens' rights. If something like the right to abortion can be so easily overturned, what about other rights, such as gay marriage? Interracial marriage?
The right to abortion should be a universal human right, and it's outrageous that the Supreme Court can decide to violate the rights of millions of Americans like this.

@Aquamentis12 I'm so disappointed in you.
 
@AngelóI'm so sorry you have to move to the US to be with your fiancee, honestly it would be a lot better for both of you if you weren't living here right now. A lot of already-existing problems with our country are getting worse and worse right now, and I wouldn't recommend anyone to move here. ><; 
The news about Roe VS Wade being overturned is incredibly disheartening for many reasons, one of which is the fact that the decision was made by only a handful of people, all of whom have perjured themselves by overturning Roe VS Wade. They had sworn at their confirmation hearings that they wouldn't and... well... did. They lied under oath. 
Not only that, but all of the things Aquamentis said in his reply are completely false, and recycled talking points from the last twenty years. Trust me, I heard them plenty growing up in an anti-choice household and until I got older and started hearing from the other side, I used to believe they were true. Also the coy language around "debating" is part of the typical toolkit that anti-choice parents/pastors/teachers strictly teach, because to them, the concept of whether or not a person should have autonomy over their choice to reproduce is a "debate", and not a form of state-sanctioned violence against people with uteruses. (Especially cis-gendered anti-choice men. It's never "real" to them, it's a chesspiece.)
