b) Since you seem open to suggestions, I might aswell say it. b)
In todays day and age with cheat and hack programs, lending avatar pets is really scary. As most of you know I am a proud premium neopets user. On one of the premium boards they have a board titled 'Pet Lenders Anonymous'. On this board, premium members post something like this:
 
------------------------------------------------------------
Lending: *type of pet lending* IQ, Snow Pet, ... and so on
 
*lending requirements go here*
 
Looking: *type of pet you're looking for* IQ, Snow Pet, ... and so on
 
*why you should be lent, if you know the QAL, and wether or not you have AIM/MSN/Yahoo and all that fun stuff*
----------------------------------------------------------
 
Anyway, this system was set up, so that avatar pets names were not released on boards. Now a days if you were to go on to the neoboards and post lending Pink pet, name: *name here* or something like that. Or even worse, posting lending Pink pet... and then you have that pet on the account your are using to post. Cheaters have developed a program that will automaticly adopt pets, they find a pet name on the neoboards and put it into the program and it will automaticly refresh the QAL until that pet is "lent" and then they snatch it up.
 
Here is a petpage that is posted in the intro posts of ALL the 'Pet Lenders Anonymous' neoboards: http://petpages.neopets.com/~Macky
 
They have brought awareness of AA'ers to neopets. TNT has viewed this petpage and contacted them reguarding some of the items and suggestions on this petpage. So we know that TNT is aware of the problem, and are "thinking" of a way to fix it, but as of right now, they can't think of any possible solution that would be fair, and not incourage the selling of pets.
 
Now, what does this all have to do with the ALP, you ask? Upon viewing the 'Available to Lend' subforum, and on every topic the pets names are just listed there for anyone to see. When viewing the rules of the ALP there is a direct link to the main account of the ALP which has 4 avatar pets on it, and as all userlookups have the pets names. From the ALP main userlookup there are 3 links to all the ALP side accounts, which have every single pet and name on it. So in 5 minutes time, if I was an AA'er, aquired every single pet name that the ALP lends out. When making one simple search on google 'Neopets Avatar Lending'. TheDailyNeopets Avatar Lending Program came up 3rd on the list, and it leads right to the ALP forum, which then gives you access to all the information I listed above.
 
What can be done to protect the ALP pets, you ask? I would like to propost to the owners of the ALP that all pet names are removed from the forums, I think the link should stay to the ALP main account, but all links to the ALP side accounts should be removed ASAP. Pet names should only be given out on a Need To Know Basis (when someone is lending them) and there should be no avatar pets on the ALP's main account, in order that people use that account to neomail requests and such. I know this seems like a lot of work, but it should only take 1 week to do, technicly 3 days, becuase that is how many pets need to be moved.
 
I hope it all that didn't sound demanding or mean, I just wanted to raise the awareness about AA'ers and also protect the ALP and all it's pets. This could save the ALP having to save up for more PB's and pets in the future if any were to be stolen or lost in the pound.
 
Thanks for listening and have a SUPER day, if you have any questions please feel free to PM me or just post here.

I think you guys are a wonderful site and so recommended you for official fan site. It would be lovely to be able to link to you, talk about you, and utilize your site openly without worrying about filters or warnings.
 
What do you think? Yay/ Nay?
 
I know the forum might propose a problem, but the actual TDN site is loads of helpful.
