Random Question

[bluewisp16]

Are some of the staff members from this site also TNT staff? How does stuff like plushies and morphing potions get released here before neopets?

[Jacky]

I think they just randomly go looking for stuff and accidentally bump into things...? That is a very good question, really. I dont think there is TNT staff here though.

Some Neopets staff members post here, but none are TDN staff. :)

Really? That's so cool :P

 

(I'm still wondering how TDN staff finds stuff before it's released, like items and things.)

there is a systemic method for looking for new items .. like ID number or something

 

someone told me how a long time ago but i forgot

Some are numbered (like captions) and some are not (like those new wearables for your favorite species, new petpets, etc.) All it takes to find them is some intelligence and luck ;)

So for the items, do you literally just have to plug "guesses" into the image code for the new item? (Sorry, don't know how to phrase that properly). Like, trial and error?

[hrtbrk]

Generally no, but sometimes we (I) have to. Most images have a pattern, as Xepha mentioned, so it's easy to search for a specific item. When it shows up in our finder, we post it for you :)

 

The only time that I have to manually search URLs is if there is part of a set that wasn't found.

ohh i have a random question too, do the TDN staff get paid? or is it purely volunteer? and TNT staff do get paid i assume :P

[hrtbrk]

Yup, we're all volunteers at TDN!

 

I'd hope TNT gets paid :P

ohh how generous of you guys! i swear some of the mods are on all day donating their precious time! :O

[bluewisp16]

Wow! Sounds complicated! I always thought that there was some kind of TNT staff member who gave little hints in order to find the items. Thanks for all your hard work TDN! :yes:
