Same with me!  Recently got back into it after about a 21 year hiatus.  Welcome back!

hi everyone! i've been playing neopets for twenty years now and only in the last few have been getting back into it 🙂 Thanks for having me!! 

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of communication, per my last post the Runway had to be put on hold due to a lot of life circumstances that I was dealing with, you can view that post here.

Believe the last time I was able to post an update was back in November. Due to the instability of our situation I was not sure when would be a good time to start the contest back up again as I didn't want to have to start it and then stop it again should we not have a stable internet connection for me to be able to continue to run it. We were able to get put up in a hotel until the end of January (but during the whole process it was unknown just how long we'd be there.) with some help, luckily around the end of our stay and beginning of Feb we purchased a home on a land contract. We are currently there and will be staying here indefinitely. It's unfortunate that the home needs a lot of repairs (such as HVAC can't be ran due to asbestos, the hot water heater is rusted and in bad condition which meant it had to be removed and the kitchen is gutted), however we got a great deal on it, it's a work in progress, but it's shelter.

I don't believe I mentioned this before because we did not know when I first posted about the hold of the contest back in September, but we are also expecting our first child this May. So there may be a period of time during that month where the contest will not be ran, but will start back up again after I've recovered from that adjusted to that new part of our life haha It's been a very hard few months for us and we're currently just trying to re-build, we had to give up a lot of our possessions when we lost our home but are slowly getting things back, like furniture and appliances, so we're getting there VERY slowly, but surely! 

I appreciate the patience from everyone! I will officially be starting it back up come the 16th of this month and it will be going sometime up until I've had our baby in May which will bring another pause, but shorter this time! Hope everyone is doing well! Excited to have it going again!

Hello! I am an artist and have been desperately looking for a Handheld Paintbrush and Palette.
They are a retired NC item and I am hoping to can trade for one from some one! My neopets username is 96037. I rarely check the TDN forums as much as I used to so if i miss you plz neomail me. ❤️
 
Thanks for helping a tired artist out.
 
Happy 25th to neopets 

Head to the Grundo Warehouse and redeem code CRESTA for an all new The Omelete Spectre!

hiiiiieee! i started playing again maybe a few weeks ago, i stopped playing i think in 2020? this is usually how it goes for me, i play actively for months and then stop for a few years. but i always come back! 😄

This is going to be a hard decision! These are all really great.

I've been away from my computer for the best part of 2+ months and just came back today and saw this!

Do whatever you need to do!! It is a wonderful activity but as people's time and energy fluctuates and entries can be quite small it makes total sense that it can feel slow. And with how long its been running it would be tricky coming up with ideas and managing it all. I echo the others saying no need to apologise and take a break or step away fully if that's what will be best for you and make you happy!!
If you don't want to let go of it completely - or if anyone else is considering taking over - it could be a seasonal thing in line with special events on the site or someone may come up with another idea entirely 🙂

Be sure to check out the rules if you're new to this contest (or if you simply want to refresh your knowledge of them). They can be found right here.
If you want to send me a screenshot of your entry (instead of the image DTI provides), but don't know how, check out this guide.
 
🌟🌟🌟
I'm going to assume - based on previous years - that most people will have plenty of things to do at the end of December, and creating an entry for The Runway probably won't be all that high up on your to-do lists, so I'm extending the entering period by a week. You get to make 2 entries though! (Check out this round (among others) if you want to see what a round with 2 entries per person looks like.)
🌟🌟🌟
 
Current theme: Looking Back
Description: Create 2 entries: one old photo, one new one. Perhaps it's the same pet, all grown up. Maybe one is a picture of a (great) grandparent, and the one other of their (great) grandchild. There has to be some relation between the pictures, but you can get as creative with it as you want.
(Very broad theme, I know, but my brain is mush. 🙃 If you need more clarity/guidelines, just tag me in this thread, and I'll try to provide them.)
Entering period: Monday, December 19 - Sunday, January 8
Voting period: Monday, January 9 16 - Sunday, January 15 22
If you have any questions about this round, or the Runway in general, just post them here, or send me a message*. 
*And if my inbox happens to be full (again), just tag me in a post here and I'll get right on that.

Thats a great name!! I have a Woodland Kau on my side acc! I've just got her in a basic NP outfit but I love her.

I hate to do this again - especially because I did receive more entries (thanks everyone!) - but DTI is acting up (not showing a couple of entries), and I'm missing at least one image/screenshot, which I can't get now, due to the links/images not working. I'll message the people whose entries/images aren't showing, and I'll keep trying throughout the week to see if the images are visible again and I can put the round up. Sorry for yet another delay!

Ahhh I'm so sorry I'm one of the lack of entries. I really want to get my behind into gear and get an entry going, I'll do my best to do one today!

So gorgeous! I've been doing some Christmas customisations too on my main! Thes are a few of them. Dizneys is my adopted lab rat so not entirely festive but at least she's green and red haha. Evermerry I made last month
