My only goal was to get farther than last year.  I only got to rank 3 last year and I just made it to 6.  I'm going to keep going and see how far I can get.

Losing too many greats this year.  May he RIP.  Thoughts and prayers to family and friends.

Congrats! I haven't had much luck myself and gave up on it for awhile. I guess I should start trying again.

I'm generally against re-releasing old avatars. While I get the frustration about not being able to try for them if you weren't a part of Neopets at the time (or just weren't aware), the point of the retired avatars is to commemorate an event. The avatars no longer have any purpose other than being another notch in your count if they are no longer tied to a specific solution. Looking forward, re-releasing retired avatars might lower site participation in events. A lot of people participate for themes, prizes, and an avatar. If the avatar will just be released later on, I imagine most of the avatar-collecting community won't bother to join in site events.
 
I've missed out on avatars, too, because I didn't do something on Neopets even though I had an account. Several years in a row I missed the negg faerie avatars because my family always went on vacation right in the middle of the quests and I'd have no internet to do them. Sure, it'd be nice to have those avatars, and to an extent it's unfair that outside circumstances affected my ability to earn them, but that's just it: I didn't earn them, so I don't get them.

I am super bummed about losing Habitarium. It provides a fairly significant portion of my Neo-Income....one that I do not see being able to recoup elsewhere in Neopia.
 
I'm glad for the forward movement with Jumpstart...but I think that they could figure out a way to keep Habi. Even if it meant everyone starting from scratch again and rebuilding, I would be totally ok with that. Getting rid of it altogether I am NOT ok with.

:(

Getting rid of Habi is going to hurt for a lot of us, that was a major source of income for a lot of players. Now I wish I played Habi more D;

Okay, I'm posting this here because it's funny and it just popped up on my tumblr.

Okay, there we go.

No offense,but I honestly am against the idea of paperclip trading.
My reasons are:
1.You're trying to trade something that is worth 1 np for something that is like worth more than 1 million times its price with no work involved.
2.There are thousands of people who work hard and save up for their goals while somebody else managed to trade a jelly for a stealthy PB in 5 days.
3.Its plain unfair.
There are my reasons,now if you do a paperclip trade I have nothing against you,but honestly I think you should work towards your goals :/

I'm really frustrated right now. Everything they seem to be releasing requires NC which I don't have spare money for. If I could buy high priced games, I'd buy them... I hope Neopets doesn't forget about those of us who can't afford digital money for pixels.

You've got my vote. Good luck to you!

Hi, all!
 
I created a character for my novel who I want be the "anti-bullying" character. The character's name is Jared. He is a 14 year old with long purple and red hair and a tongue piercing. He is also half-blooded incubus or cambion. All of his life he has been mistreated by his family and classmates at a private school due to his being a cambion and just being different from every other teenage boy.
In the book he fakes being egotistical and fakes having high self esteem in order to feel like he's on top of the world. I can't go into too much detail about what happens in my novel because I don't want to risk being "inappropriate" on the forums.
 
I'm not just writing about this because I want to write about feeling like you aren't worth anything just for show. Nor am I writing about a bullied character just for the heck of it. I've been through being alone and feeling like you're a horrible person and I've seen what the terror of being "different" has done to teenagers including myself.

I have to admit that I love this movie.
 

That's very sad. I love all those Christmas shows. May he RIP.

I'm married. We will be celebrating our 5 yr. anniversary in Feb.

I agree. I hate when they manage to sneak up on me and snatch me up :(
