    You can still just click the url It won't be anything fancy just some coded text but it works and you get items, illnesses or the rare NC.

    They phrased it a bit weird, but basically they just ask you how much you would be willing to pay for it, and how much you think other people should have to pay to get one since they were of "high value". There were plenty of ppl who had an UC pet that considered themselves as better, higher value account. They basically were "ego pets" and by doing this it won't be that special anymore, they'll have less to boast about.

    It's okay if you can't. Head to Desert Arms, Lampwyck's Lights, Super Happy Icy Fun Shop, Darigan Toys, The Brain Tree, Collectable Sea Shells and lastly the Kreludan Mining Corp for your goodies.

    Duma got a reaction from Aquamentis12 in Neopets Adds Two Factor Authentication (2FA)!   
    I too only use my desktop to play neopets and don't have any 2FA app on my phone. Everything that (administrative and medical apps) needs that has it's own program or sends a code to my e-mail. I realize it's highly recommended and do recommend it seeing that I've been hacked in the past as well, just like many others, but my phone is old and barely has any room on it to install new things. I even need to move all my pictures to my desktop from time to time to make room to actually do things. But as long is memory is the only problem (which I can solve easily by moving pictures) I'm not buying a new phone. I don't play any games on it. I only use it for messaging/banking/fb/browsing as a notebook for like groceries and duolingo basically.
    If I do need a new phone I'll probably turn it on myself as well, just to be safe.

    The default for the forum software TDN uses is 10 reactions/day.  They may have it set higher (or lower) but I was curious and did some googling.

    Duma reacted to Aquamentis12 in Yay/Nay for close calls....   
    So I'm driving home after going to the grocery store. There's a truck in the meridian going left, and 2 open lanes where this old lady is waiting to leave Aldi's.... this person, starts pulling out, BEFORE THE TRUCK MOVES. So she begins BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF TRAFFIC!

    Starting positions as I'm driving toward this area. The Vs and ^s indicate the direction of traffic for those lanes.
    |_V_|_V_|_Truck_|_^_|_^_|Old lady
    After I was able to come to a stop... Old lady had the road ENTIRELY blocked. I was about 6-8 feet away from hitting her door.
    |_V_|_V_|_Truck_|Oldlady|

    If I hadn't slammed on my brakes as HARD AS POSSIBLE, I WOULD'VE totally slammed RIGHT into her. I blasted my horn, but all she does is clear her ear, smiles and waves at me as she turns around me! People like that need their licenses REVOKED!!!!

    I am so furious right now! >( Still shaking with how close that was!

    Duma reacted to hrtbrk in TNT employee deleted every singe NC in my SDB   
    OP is being truthful. Basically the database table on the server (where information is stored) is shared for your Inventory, SDB and Gallery. If you get TNT to fix an invisible or stuck item in any of those three places, there is a small chance that all items can be deleted, I presume on accident, in an attempt to fix the original error. 
    If you need an item fixed, you should move all your NC items into your closet before contacting them.

    It's an amazing anime for sure! I loved watching Dr. Stone!
    I'm currently rewatching all of the Harry Potter movies. I've purchased the box set too. my philosophy basically is, if I like a movie enough to rewatch it several times, I might as well just buy it. Plus, the HP movies weren't on Netflix or Disney+ and I can't afford to get a subscription on every streaming service out there.

    Sometimes it's not so much the country but the city too. I am very happy in the country and town I live in now (my town is about 8.2km2 and population about 1500) but I used to live in Amsterdam and for a person that hates crowded places and noises, that was horrible. As for countries I wouldn't consider, I have no idea since I haven't traveled enough to know but as for a general area, I would avoid any (big) cities and would only consider small towns and countrysides.

    So, apparently I joined TDNF on May 22, 2012.... Which means I missed my 10 year anniversary just a little before my 41st birthday. LMAO
    Yep, I'm practically a fossil now, compared to many users. XD So, I've been playing Neopets since November 20, 2003. Man, the first guild I actually joined, OPON, aka, Older People On Neopets. It was probably about 16 years ago now. Back then in my 20s, I was one of the youngest members. It started as a group on the neoboards, solving the Mystery Pic and Lenny Conundrum, and eventually became a guild. Mainly because people were leaching off of the work people involved with the thread were doing trying to solve those two parts of the site.

    It took maybe a month or so before I was officially invited to join them. Had a few blow-outs, but that happens. At one point, during one of several of my hiatuses from the site in general. Some kind of major schism had happened and the guild literally split into two.
    Recently, well, within the last 6 years or so. We got back together, not that there are many of us left active from either guild. There are only a couple of us active, and I'm probably the most active right now. 😕
    But in the last 10 years... I've learned a bit. I remember my application to join TDN Staff. Did my best and got in on my first try. I miss Crimson, Lamppost, and some of the other TDN Staffers who aren't staffers anymore. 😞
    I still have my battle application "essay question" saved. lol You never know when it might be useful in practical applications, but it actually hasn't been. I saved it because I felt I did a good job answering the points I needed to in it. XD I'd been coming up with budget-battling sets since LONG before my application here. Not just for myself, but for guildmates, friends and random people on the neoboards. Or on the old IDB Battlepedia site. (That apparently merged with Neoitems). That used to be a stand-alone site and I wanted to join them, before whatever cataclysm happened that trashed their server. There are still math things in the battledome I'm not 10,000% clear on, and TNT likes to throw strange monkey-wrenches at us with some of their new weaponry. But I'm a lot better with determining what an item does in battle than I was when I first signed up here. Crimson, Lamppost, and pretty much everybody on-staff were good teachers. Whether how to determine stats in battle, or how to create entries for new items, etc.
    As for how I've changed? I'd say, that in recent years, I'm getting a little more cynical. MIGHT be my old age. lol Kidding. 😉  Probably hold-over stress from the pandemic though.
    I'm still living in the same place since the year after my dad passed away. No dog, struggling with art and still a bit in life. But also still trying to keep a positive attitude about things. Helping my friends and people where I can when i see 'em down.
    My niece just graduated high school this past June 1st. In fact, her graduation party is this-coming Saturday. I couldn't be prouder of her for making it through the hell that is public school. Same school district I graduated from 22 years ago. lol So I know how it can be. 😜
    My nephew just saved up enough chore money to buy himself some (He)X-box console. Not sure which one, but it came with some games. Not sure if he got it used or what. But, he's only 12. So, the fact he was able to do enough extra chores (doesn't get paid for his regular chores), and save that money up to buy something BIG he wanted? You bet I'm proud of him there, even if I'm (obviously) not a fan of that line of consoles. 😜 He'll be 13 in September.
    I've made some good friends, lost a couple for whatever reason. I don't tend to be the one who decides to part ways. it's frustrating when they do and don't tell me why. Had a couple crushes, none panned out, but oh well.
    It's been, Life. Not ideal by ANY stretch of the imagination, but, Life seldom is for most people. I'll just keep going and see what Life has in store for me. Hopefully a brighter patch for a span. That would be a nice change of pace.  😉
    It's good to see we still have some long-time members still here. Duma, and Namaah and Duskitty of course! Since you guys started/commented on this thread! XD
    Of course, long-time members, ya gotta think the staff who've been here MUCH longer than Duma or me. Like Hrtbrk, Mouseykins, and Ian for example! They probably have done more work than most of the other staffers combined over the many years TDN has been around! Dunno who all has been here the longest. But without them, TDN wouldn't exist!
    Gotta go to bed, later everyone. 🙂

    For one, I no longer care if my house is clean when company comes for a visit. Despite past instances of my lack of cleanliness being used against me. I still clean and try to have things tidy, but I no longer care and won't stay up all night just to make everything presentable. When I'm tired, I just crash. We have a small house and with 5 of us, a big dog and a bird, things get messy quick. Kids don't really pick up after themselves unless they're motivated enough.
    My husband and I started our own business this past year. It's just a small trucking company and has been enough to pay our bills and catch up on things. We'd be doing better if it wasn't for the constant repairs on our highway truck. Something always seems to go wrong each month that puts us a bit short of our contract.
    I think the biggest thing for me is I figured out what my passion is and what I want to do with my life career wise. It's just getting into a position that's a bit difficult. I'd like to work as a teacher, but unfortunately cannot afford the education for that right now. I'm going to work as an Educational Assistant and help the younger kids who are struggling with their learning or have learning disabilities like my daughter.

    LOL! There is hope for me yet! I still dislike pink although it's not as bad anymore as about a decade ago. I really hated pink as well. Now it depends, I will sometimes consider something pink pretty. So for now it's still in the neutral zone.
    I joined TDNF August 2, 2013 so that's almost a decade for me too. Neopets itself I joined in the year 2000 or early 2001, my current main is from 2001. I have changed a lot last decade though! Bought a house, living independently without anyone telling me what to do or how to do something. I used to just do whatever made someone else happy instead of myself. Now I will still try to make other people happy but not if it makes myself unhappy. I have always been an optimist though!
    Also, about a year ago I've cut and donated my long hair and also started to wear a bit more clothes with colors instead of just black. I still wear a lot of black and I still like gothic things (pictures, music, clothes, style). And I got my eyes lasered a few months back. Guess I made quite a few changes in my appearance this last year.
    I also have cats for four years now! I didn't have my two cuddle bugs that I love so very very much a decade ago!
