deadninja6 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Alright, you can call me an old guy at heart(only 19, so I may be old to some who play the game/use this website), or that I'm adverse to change, or what have you, but I LOVE nostalgia. When something changes drastically(Like City of Heroes did from the time that I started playing to before it was shut down(R.I.P. ;_; )), I LOVE the feeling of being able to get the old version back, and being able to use it. Is there any way anybody knows of for me to like, use a site theme, or some sort of code, or something, to where I can personally view the old version of Neopets, before Viacom took over? Y'know, with the sidebar, old versions of pets, and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I can't help you with all of that, but if you check out one of my side accounts (rubellious) I am using coding that gives me an older version userlookup. There's a link to the coding there if you'd like to use it. If you don't have a background on your pets, it will also put the old circle behind your pet too.

deadninja6 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks, I'll do that with my userlookup(If my silenced account will let me), but I already got the circle behind my Neopet from the Elite(Old account.:P) section of the NC Mall.:3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimphal Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm pretty certain there used to be a way to use neopets with the old style, something called Old Neo or something, but I can't seem to find it. I know the author was overwhelmed at one point, so it might not exist anymore :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look into that further.:3 Cool :) Oh yeah, if you already have that background then it doesn't matter - I still refuse to buy NC so that was a huge bonus for me when I found that! Lol, alright. But have you ever played Qasallian Expellibox? I won 150NC free from that, once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm pretty certain there used to be a way to use neopets with the old style, something called Old Neo or something, but I can't seem to find it. I know the author was overwhelmed at one point, so it might not exist anymore :/ Yeah, it was taken down (by the owner) a while back. I don't think another version has gone up, so it seems like you're out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Lol, alright. But have you ever played Qasallian Expellibox? I won 150NC free from that, once. Of course, and I always collect if there's free NC from site events, but that's different than buying NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Blaine Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well most of the online contents are removed and only the stored files are available. Do a search and you will find what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriru Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Oh man! I still remember a lot of things from the old ages. When the navbar was still yellow and on the left side. The old neopets photos with the circle in the background. Not being able to customize. The banner with the inventory link, sw, auction and shops links. ... Ohman. Nostalgia!

Wow, looking at that brings back a lot of memories. I seriously went on little mini trip down memory lane. Is it time to talk about how our pets used to have to walk a mile to school both ways in the snow after being made with Paint? I was reminiscing a few weeks ago, and I had completely forgotten that really old Neopets was not exactly aesthetically pleasing. Does anyone else remember Macy Grey and the other human pets and characters that used to be on the site? In hindsite, Neopets was really weird.

Yujin Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well back then Adam and Donna were pretty much dealing with Neopets as their like, garage project no? xD Honestly I find it so crazy how it's become such a huge project now and backed by a large corp like Viacom (who makes some REALLY bad decisions but at least can support the site financially?). I doubt any of them or us foresaw that it would become what it is today. ~Xandria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I suggest visiting Jellyneo's Neopian Museum http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=museum they have articles and galleries of the old site. I also suggest visiting Dr. Sloth's Image Emporium http://www.drsloth.com/ for images old and new. Any image on Neo that is or used to be that you can think of should be there. ~Xandria 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah, I really don't think they knew it would become such a huge craze or that it would turn into a huge success like this, but congrats to them for thinking it up and becoming super-rich off of it. :P Thank you for the links Lyuba! Especially the ones from jellyneo, it's awesome how they categorized everything. If anyone is interested you should check out the profile Hrobi, in a list at the top of her page you will find a link that says "remember when" It's an awesome flash to the past. Seeing the way the aisha looked in the very very beginning still makes me giggle. Edit: One thing I really really do miss is when the blumaroos used to stand on their tails instead of their feet, so it showed their little heart shaped feet. :) I always thought it was super cute. If it still did that I would totally get one, along with the old bruces. So much cuter, imo! Like ten times. LOL. Then Now Then Now I really quite like the look of the old UC pets. I know they are never coming back and I will more than likely never get my hands on one - but still, the royals and plushie UC's are super cute and something to dream about(: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adalyn Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's pretty sad how Neopets has changed so much. There is a way to change your lookup to look like the old neopets, I wish it was like that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
