Alynniae Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 sooo, i've just read that oldneo is closed because of people complaining it's a phishing site, and TNT said they'd to close it. the complainers: people who weren't accepted or mad because they couldn't get a join code, come on, get mature or something, but don't complain about something that's not true :sad02: i'm glad they've saved all the info and are opening it somewhere else with a complete different layout, without brazilian complainers <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivies Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Where did you read this? I'm on the site now and I notice nothing different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oldneo said they were opening up a new site with a new name, and EVERYTHING would be passed on to the new site, from stamps to pet intellegence. Hi scores, pets, trophies, neomail, everything.The front page and login/register page would look completely different, but the rest would look the same. On the news page, Vivies. And they also said everything would be done by Friday (i think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachiee Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm not sure if I find oldneo to be a phishing site, but it makes my computer run pretty slowly sometimes. I hope it's not some sneaky virus that got into my Mac D: *freaks out + changes Neopets pw to be safe* Sorry, I'm overly paranoid when it comes to this stuff. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not some sneaky virus that got into my Mac D: *freaking out* i don't think so, because i don't think somebody from TDN would give people join codes for a site with a sneaky virus or something o_O but i'm really waiting until the new site opens, i want to play wit my UC/cute pets :* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornflakes Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 From the OldNeo news page: We have received an official letter from Neopets.com. They have a couple of issues with some aspects of our sites (such as our wording on our login page). They believe that we claim that users can get back their Old Neopets. (When what we mean is the pets that exist on this site). Therefore within 48 hours (the time limit we were given) we will need to phrase it in such a way that people do not get the impression that it is a fake login page. This also means that our login page will not be able to look like the original Neopets login page. (We did want to keep it for originality, but their Legal Department does not want us to). Our database has just been backed up because we need to shut down the site as Neopets thinks it sounds like we're trying to be their actual site (with their information) and that Neopets users think that they could get their old pets back by logging in. (TNT is worried about people phishing accounts). Good News! We will be opening a new site though and using your information there so all your accounts and pets will be safe. We will email everybody details once the new site is up! As the database has just been backed up, anything now that happens on OldNeo will not be moved to the new site, including this news post :) So it was just a misunderstanding on TNT's part that some people were somehow (stupidly) thinking that OldNeo would bring their actual old pets/accounts back. OldNeo is, of course, not affiliated with Neopets.com. So they'll have a new domain ready soon, and they'll email current users when it's up and running. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Can't believe that TNT found OldNeo a phishing site or something. :P There goes my occasional dose of Neo-nostalgia. I can't wait for the NEW site to be opened. Also, Lemur worked so hard on bringing us this old-school replica of what Neopets used to be. I thought that it was an excellent idea for a website. Sad to see it all go to waste (somewhat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Ugh, this stinks. Although i did give up on Oldneo after a while, because i still can't afford a krawk potion xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 i did give up on Oldneo after a while, because i still can't afford a krawk potion xD That's one thing I really love about it...it makes you really work for stuff, and there's not a bunch of snobs that already have a Krawk "taunting" you with it on the Neoboards. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i can't keep up with trying to earn NPs in both places :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That's true too...it's a little exhausting. Plus I get tired trying to keep up with so many conversations at so many different places...here, Neo, OldNeo, frickin JellyNeo, etc. But I'll quit sniveling...there are worse problems in life :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I felt shut out of the conversations on OldNeo from early on, admittedly. That's one of the major reasons I stopped going, especially after they got flooded with Tumblr hipsters :rolleyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snivy Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hey, i don't know why many people thinks that we(brazilians) are the bad guys in the history. I really wanted to enter in Oldneo, but the owner blocked our ip. Many brazilians used a ip block to enter in Oldneo. I think that many of them don't want that the site be closed, just wanted to enter in it. I lost my interest in this site after the owner blocked our ip. I, like many brazilians, just wanted the nostalgia of the 2006 neopets. But we brazilians are not well accepted in many places of the world, even worst in internet. Sorry if my english is bad, but I'm better at reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Can't you Brazilians find somewhere else to argue against a site that is NOT EVEN THIS ONE? A new entry for my ignore list! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemur Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 We've opened up UCpets.net now. That way there won't be any misunderstandings. NP will be easier to get once we get more games out and once items start being released into the economy. In about 6 months things should be running much smoother. And Manta I'm sorry you feel that way. I liked seeing you around the site. You were one of my favourite peeps here. (Although I don't talk much, I lurk a lot).

behati Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Website blocked your IP? Send malicious reports. Website forced to shut down. Sorry I'm not trying to say it's a certain country's fault but really, jesus christ if a website blocked "your" butt - forcing "your" way in makes me hate certain groups of people. That stuff just makes me mad, it's pathetic just because "they" don't get their way whoever it is that sent those reports. It's not the website owner's fault if they can't read "a website dedicated to the old neopets" -facepalm- /rage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookin' good, guys! :D I'll be around, a bit :) Aww, thanks Lemur!! *hug* I just tend to get awkward when there's a large group of people. Part of what I love about TDN is I know almost everyone here who's active ^_^ I'll try to pop on from time to time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
