With Luminaire 2024 starting and Melody's Cottage opening... I remember when it was called Advent Calendar and the last year was 2007 and then became Melody's in 2008.
Having to use a separate page to organize wardrobe layers that you could only have 1 item from each layer, and things like wigs, eyes and mouth makeup weren't a thing.
I remember having three tabs open so I could copy/paste the item names for wizard quests! It used to tell you how long it took to complete a quest, and I was able to do most of them in under 20 seconds. My friend was shocked when I showed her lol.
I also remember them adding being able to search and preview wardrobe items on the site! When I started I was just buying stuff to add and hoping it looked good or layered correctly. Then someone made a separate site where you could see what all the items looked like. I'd have to go there, build an avatar outfit, and then buy it all and remake it on here.
Name clearings. I remember playing hooky to get Eden and Atlas haha. In fairness, I did have a cold but prob could have gotten through school fine. I just didn't want to miss the name clearing.
...
I remember the first Book Drive, and how I got SO MANY points lmao
I'd buy items for users and give them a huge sP discount, I made bank lol
I also remember the drama there was in the late 00's between some people. That's what really makes me feel old;;
having to wear a mask and refreshing on Shadowglen in order to get infected with a zombie strain literally committing a hate crime so ugly the locals bite you
i remember mailing keith a check a few times to add more pet slots

When "Neopets" was a Forbidden Word.
TBF, it was a household name, owned by scientologists at the time. I wouldn't mess with them, either. ┐( ˘_˘)┌

Restock wars… but nobody else remembers them so now I wonder if they even happened lol ;)
I’m like did I dream it? Was it on neopets?
omgggg yesss. I credit it for how good I am with alt tabbing and Ctrl+ commands, among other relatively useless keyboard skills.
I remember how easy it was in the begining to have unique pet names. I like the legacy and new naming system in some ways but I miss the pride of having creative/unique/long held pet names. Although the "underground" adoption market was kind of crazy.
Restock wars <3
Also, when you had to be a certain age to join haha.
Good times.
Drunk doing live cooking, I miss that so much lolol

I miss the Cults. Never did end up finding friends well after they closed.
I remember not really understanding how the dance with NPCs board was supposed to go so myself and my cult all RP'd every post we made.
I also remember getting avatars instead of achievements and my least fave due to lag was getting one for doing a Wizard Quest in under 10 seconds.
