that place used to be my passion.
It was actually a lot of fun and I made a lot of pretty ok guilds and I played the games (which were actually quite fun).
And then I left for a few months, came back and it had been bought and everyone was paying for things.
But the boards weren't too great before then either.
lol, I think I know who you're talking about.
The way I figure it, in real life she is no one, has nothing, no friends, and is a very sad, miserable person. Neo is the only place she has any sort of power and control, and she basks in the glory of being well-known on a Neopet board. She'll say things she knows are fucked up, and will take much pleasure in seeing her little minions jump in and agree with her. She's the type who can do anything and will never be frozen, at least not permanently. I do think she was frozen once, I remember all her little minions making boards about it, unable to wrap their little minds around how their exalted leader could have possibly done anything to deserve such a cruel punishment. Of course, she had her account back within the week.
Neopets is a shit hole. I played until I found Subeta, and realized just how much of a shit hole Neopets really is, and I haven't been back to Neo since :)
Someone like that comes to mind, but I'm not a Premium member, and I think the person I'm thinking of is considerably different...This is on Charter? That's ridiculous.
</p>
<p>They&;ve become so obsessed with making a buck, they no longer care about the patrons of the site unless you&;re spending all your money on their crappy products and they pumped the site absolute FULL of ads. It&;s disgusting.
I found an ad for internet sex on that site once...I was 8 o.o

I found an advertisement about drug dealing once :P
Neopets brings out the worst in people. I used to stubbornly refuse to stop logging into my account, like I had something to "prove" because I had great named pets, an account from friends (ahem, *minions) and they would back me up whenever I would basically take to the boards and viciously attack people, because...
... because I hated what Neopets had become. :p Something about seeing that damn yellow sidebar turns me into a nasty bitch... or is it the sub-intellectual slime that is the Neoboards? Hard to tell.
All I can say is, you could have been describing me, two years ago. (Except for the part where she's an adult with kids. I'm just an adult with rats.)
I was a righteous prommie pain in the ass, who had a guild and a painted Kougra and though I was bad. When I came to Subeta, a LOT of people recognized me, and it hindered me making friends. It hurt my feelings to be treated in the way I used to, attacking people because they're small and new and misinformed, and it made me realize that in the grand scheme of things, being a snarky bitch on Neopets wasn't really who I wanted to be.
Be at peace: Karma has a way of really relishing the wait before it dumps on the jerks in the most satisfying, apropos way.
Trust me, she'll pull her head out of her ostrich-hole some day, and realize that despite all she "has" on the candy-coated kiddy-net, IRL, none of that cures a wicked case of sandy vagina. :)
I hate that chick. I was really temped to send her a webmail right before my Premium ran out saying that she was a bitch and needed a life for all the shit she caused on the Charter boards. In fact, I would send her a neomail saying all that, but I would prolly lose my account of 8 years
LOL@neo angst :P
I made an account a few months ago to see what it was like, I went on it times and never went back again.
Ehh, the only reason I enjoyed it was for my epic friends and some of the games, but I've gradually been drifting more over here than there these days, and I only go on Neo to talk to my friends and guildies. Being in a guild of only awesome people who pretty much talk whenever they want about whatever they want = win.
Neopets fails. I swear they're homophobic. And that makes it even worse. :/
I remember I was a member there for a good three years and they froze me because somehow I was "scamming someone". Which was a bunch of bollocks because I adopted a pet from the pound and suddenly I was frozen, saying I'd got lots of warnings? Ehhh?
It's just wrong. Adults on the internet make me lol sometimes, though. Some of them are lovely, I know there are quite a few adults and mothers on Subeta, and none of them are drama bitches like that. Meh, just ignore it and stay happily friends with everyone you've made friends with. :]
Ugh, she sounds like a bitch.
Neopets is only good if you can find the normal people still there.
I really hate how they say their site is "unhackable" though. Right now there is a CG nightmare, the site likes to download things to your computer, and my account was taken over and my Plushie Buzz was taken. Grr.
Talk about immature adults. I thought they were supposed to be prime examples >_>
I was on a bus once and a woman was leaving the bus. She accidently hits an old woman to her side with an umbrella. The old woman gives her a quick look and looks away. I thought that'd be the end of it but this was just too funny... So the woman says, "You're giving me that look? It was an accident god get over it. I hate people like you." So she's stepping off the bus gives a quick look back the old woman and goes, "HA!" Then the door closes on her hand and her glove gets caught in the door and the bus drives off with her glove hanging there.
Press ALT+F4 it's fun!
Still not having fun? Try Apple+Q!
The only question I have for you is, why are you feeding into that drama? The only obvious thing to do with people like that is ignore them, why the fuck do you feed into it and let it bother you?
I played Neo for six years and still get on frequently, and have never, never had a problem with this person. Why do you let it affect you?
Sorry if I'm coming off as rude or brash, but seriously, there's other things to get pissed over.
