jumpingbeans Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Well, hello there, Scott. I am JB, the resident odd-guy, along with half of the other members. My name changes twice a month. So you'll probably forget that I'm JB and just call me my current name. I don't mind. So, what brings you to our neck of the woods? Quote
Scoobean Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I want to learn more about neopets as I just started playing yesterday. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Oh, wow. You came a lot earlier than I, in that respect. I was on Neo for about 2 or 3 years before I'd even heard of TDN. xD Quote
Scoobean Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I just looked up Neopets forums and here it was. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Yeah, I guess it is TDN, which is first. So, what do you like/dislike about Neo? Quote
Scoobean Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Hmmmmm, that is kind of difficult to answer since I am new to it all and just trying to figure out my way around on it. I did however buy 3 petpets for my Skeith.. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 ...I hope you know that a pet can only have one petpet at a time... Anyway, there's lot of cool stuff to do on Neo. TDN probably has a guide for what to do if you're a newb... Quote
Spritzie Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Welcome Scott. :) You've definitely come to the right place. Everyone is nice and helpful here. I have JB beat. :P I'd been playing for about 7.5 years when I joined TDN. Quote

Ruto Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Hi Scott. I'm never around either but I stopped by just to lurk. Quote
Naamah D. Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Hi Scott, I'm Naamah. I like Succubi, Neopets, and video games. My alias names are BaconBurger and Star, but I prefer Naamah. Have an awesome time here :) Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 @Spritzie: Yeah, well, if I'd been playing Neo for the 7.5 years you'd been playing before you joined TDN, plus the about 2.5 years since you've joined TDN (really? It's just that long), I'd have started playing Neo when I was...lemme see, going to be 14 in less than a month, 7.5+2.5=10...since I was about 4... Quote
Spritzie Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Yep. Pretty close. :P It will be 10 years for me, next month. I started playing when I was 16. :P Quote
Tedhaun Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 My main Neopets account will be turning 10 years old on April 26th, and just 5 days! I can't wait for more additional transfers for my account. I'm solely surprised that I started playing Neopets when I was only 10 years old and did not a lot about Neopets. These days... I've been doing what it takes to get more involved in the new Neopets world as well as adapting myself to many new things Neopets had to offer. I'm not sure if I should get either a Krawk or Draik (though I want both) as a way to celebrate my 10th Neopets anniversary... I'll figure something out. Quote
Naamah D. Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Anyone like my new avatar? She's my favorite pony. Quote
flyingeevee Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Who doesn't love Vinyl Scratch? Or her stage name DJ PON-3 :P I personally love Derpy Hooves but just about every pony has something I adore about them! I remember joining TDN after 3 years of me playing on neo ^^ Quote
Naamah D. Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 My favorites 1. Vinyl Scratch 2. Derpy Hooves 3. Applejack 4.Fluttershye(I have a Uni named after her) My least favorite is Rarity. She just comes off as a bit too prissy. Quote
flyingeevee Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 For my top five: 1. Derpy Hooves 2. Octavia 3. Vinyl Scratch 4. Fluttershy 5. Twilight Sparkle If Derpy wasn't so adorable, Octavia would surely take #1 spot since I just love her overall look and how fans depict her. I don't like Rarity as much either, but I can't help but admit I enjoy her episodes a bit more :P Also, that season finale was AWESOME! Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Lemme see...I'm 53 months old on Neo...that's about 4 and a half years...really...I'm that old? I've never watched MLP, and I'm not really sure if I want to... Quote
-Ryan Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I'm 50ish months on my current Main, but I think i've played for like 7 or 8 years. Quote
jumpingbeans Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Anyone here like listening to music in French? I've been listening to one basically all I've been online, today and yesterday, along with the Shrek version of Hallelujah. Quote
billpika_x8 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 -ish, but I think Japan cranks out a lot of Justin-Bieber-esque pop stars. I just got back from NYC, those T-Shirts are interesting. I like how in Chinatown, every 5 feet they sell knockoff watches. I'm proud of my race. In Little Italy, food is the main focus. My school arranged for us to do everything interesting in NYC. I got a bad fever, and couldn't breath well for a bit one night, but I took a Tylenol and my vitality returned. We saw Wicked and Spiderman on Broadway. Wicked was better by a long shot. (Wicked was the most amazing prequel ever). I could go on and on, but... Quote
flyingeevee Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I've never watched MLP, and I'm not really sure if I want to... Like I tell myself and other friends, just watch the first 3 episodes of any show and see if you enjoy it or not. If you do, then continue on and enjoy without thinking what others have to say about it. If you don't, then move on and repeat with a different show. 3 episodes is plenty since the 1st episode of any show doesn't help justify anything and 3 is my favorite number so huzzah! The main reason I see people not wanting to give MLP a shot is because it has "pony" and "friendship" in the title. That was ALMOST the reason I didn't watch it in the beginning. But I followed the 3 episode rule and my goodness, I fell in love with the show! The art is truly magnificent and can easily surpass any cartoons out right now (including Adventure Time). The characters are more in-depth than what you would expect from a pony series. Plus another thing I totally love are the references to other shows and movies like King Kong, 007, The Big Lebowski (not even intended for children!), Star Wars, Chocolate Rain, I Love Lucy, and lots more. I love recommending this series mainly because people really are putting it down because of the title. Even statistics show that it's mainly older MALES that love the show. They are the ones that probably help the fandom get more noticed and even grabbed my attention. So yeah, give it shot, enjoy it or move on ^^ Quote
Spritzie Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 My sister and I loved MLP growing up. My sister always had the full sized toys, I had a bunch of little ones I carried all over. I've never seen the recent stuff. Quote
