getting hacked and getting more items doesn't sound that bad though :P still sucks they just ignored it. I remember when Chris started playing on here I was all: he's my bf we almost live together please don't freeze us! and subeta staff replied within 24h being all: it's all good, don't worry.

in-laws can be like that sometimes nods thinking of Chris' dad

It didn't take me to your lookup because I'm not logged in! Just the start page of horror.

yeah it was a nightmare and all during my birthday too, which really irked me. so I haven't been back since.

My Dusty is a rare one...I think one of like 3 or 4 on active accounts anyway. I will probably just let him sit there or give him to one of my dear friends. I haven't really been on neo for like 3 years. Still bitter about how I was treated after all the money I spent on that site, I pretty flipped them off and moved on. Just bitter about the whole way I was treated. Then I dragged all of my friends here, and for the most part almost all of them have stayed.

[edit]

Thanks guys for the congrats! It was a unofficial goal. lol

aww, that sucks even more then :(

and yes, I remember you being the first person I saw that owned one. well, to be honest subeta is a lot better and I love the fact that you can be more open and not have to worry about what you say. it seems like quite a few users from neo have come here. for example I wasn't aware that I actually "knew" Violin back in her neo days. xD

almost everyone has issues with their inlaws I think xD

my 6th sense said you pinged me (you accidentally pinged yourself)

Ohh tight budget, then I get it :) you can have a date night at home? Just cook together and watch tv! Low budget date night.

She refused to touch her account as long as the tainted items were on her account because she is a super paranoid person. WHAT IF THEY FREEZE ME. Before it happened she already reached the point where she was unable to have fun playing neo because with everything she did she freaked out that she potentially would get frozen or silenced.

So she didn't touch her account: what in case if i sell one draik egg too many? What if I sell them and tnt freezes me? What if i move them to my sdb and tnt doesn't find them and freezes me? So she refused to touch her account (in case a random event stole an item), or her inventory...so she quit.

wow since when do userlookups only show when logged in? Weird o_0

It's 3pm and i haven't eaten lunch yet, probably should stand up.

That is one crazy story whut?? And they just let her keep everything, just like that? Srsly so happy that staff on Subeta at least TALKS with its userbase, not like Neo. I literally couldn't even check my ticket because of their damn system, had no idea of the status, just received an email that they got it and will look into it. Months later I send in another ticket, no response. They also froze one of my side account around the same time after I traded a NC custom for a hard-to-get item and I was just??? I couldn't bother with their shit anymore. Subeta is better with user art and not moving pets whose customization froze my browsers xD

Also because of response: You literally cannot view people's lookup without being logged in anymore, only the ugly yellow login screen.

omg i pinged myself. good work dakota. wtg.

yeah we do that sort of thing a lot actually :3 its just the fancy things we only do twice a year like our anniversary is usually going to my favourite korean restaurant (we've been together for 5 years now)

my in-laws have not liked me from day one and still don't(16 years later). kinda glad they live like 3500 miles away. I don't have to deal with them.

haha, yeah, I think she was one of the ones I brought over if I am not mistaken. I knew pretty much everyone on the NC boards and then I came here after some other friends said to check it out. It took me a bit, but I really enjoy it better here than I ever did on neo.

I know, craziest story ever. But it all caused her a panic attack and she quit because of it (see above post which is posted a second before your post).

That's what I love about staff here, you can actually talk with them. If something fucks up you just ping them.

I know the feeling, I couldn't check my frozen account ticket either. I'm still waiting for a proper response to my ticket, 3 years of waiting already. I'm just done with their shit, all I still do on neo is draw comics for the neopian times and try and win the art gallery. Things that just involve drawing.

i'm guilty of pinging myself sometimes as well.

Well fancy isn't the most important thing of a date, so it's good you can have regular dates every now and then ^^

I'm setting a sad record to go without forum points. I think I made 30 posts today at least, and no luck, damned.

People I know from neo:

aww, that really sucks for her :( has she at least discovered the joys of subeta yet?

Chris and I are the same, the whole fancy "date" things are reserved for our anniversary really.

lol, I assume that's what will be the case for me as well xD

ah, I see! I talked to recently and that's how I found out about her. I knew quite a few people as well so it's really great to see some familiar faces around. I agree, same here! I like the fact that goals don't seem to far out of reach like they did on neo.

my mother offered for us to move in with her, while bf doesn't like it, he would do it if his mum did something bat shit cray xD

yup, we love our low key movie watching dates, some of the best times ever actually.

glad we're not the only ones!

oh god my charger is so broken I can't even get a good angle to charge it from.

I also had one of my most violent panic attack when I found out there was someone on my account, helped me through the most of it, then my grandma who just heard me crying (so embarrassing explaining her everything, but she understood.)

I loved reading the comics/Neopian times in general!! One of the things I always wanted to do, but could never finish my drawing on the compute xD Will have to check yours out sometime.

On the record, I dragged here as well after having really bad experiences with Neo staff, I was like "Join me in another petsite hell and be addicted with me" lmao (Maria, didn't you join Neopets because of me as well way back??)

how do you do those "pings"/mentions?

nothing is better than netflix + Hugo (sparkling wine with elderflower sirup + mint) + crackers and cheese <3

Silvia, I told you you should do some more drawings! that way I can commission you for stuff :P and I think it was you for neo as well? or that one classmate of ours, C.? I don't remember it's been soo long feels old I think I actually told about you dragging me here back when she first mentioned subeta to me xD

it is because I am a city girl and not from the country. But with his job, he would always live in a city. So I don't know what they thought. I am just not good enough for him apparently. I had a huge fight with them about 5 years ago and told them if they can't respect me in my own house, then they are not welcomed here. It took about two years before they actually talked to me again. which I was ok with.

his mom is never allowed to move in with us...EVER!! I warned him, if that happens, I am moving out. I can only handle her in small doses. She is bat shit crazy. I have crazies in my family but she takes the cake! lol

She refuses to start here because she is still emotionally attached to neo and believes that she'll still play at some point. Can't really explain how she feels about it because it doesn't make sense. She doesn't want a second pet site because she still "plays" neo, while in reality she doesn't because her anxiety gets out of control when you even mention neo.

tbh, i'm glad she isn't coming here because her anxiety & paranoia are exhausting. Within a week she would be starting far fetched theories about Keith and she would start screaming lies around because they feel like truth in her paranoia head. She is capable of sinking any ship.

I cried the first time I got frozen. I got super super angry when i got frozen last time.

Neopian times is really one of my last goals. I'm 5/10, I just submitted a 6th one. And I got a 7th one i need to do a spelling correction on and then i'm only 3 away from my ultimate goal.

I love drawing and they lowered their standard for art contests by a lot, so now is my chance.

that reminds me of the time i broke my charger for in the car and I had to continue turning it around in the cigarette lighter thing to try and get it to connect and every bump in the road: shit no power any more.

[edit] Those mentions are :

aww, I'm sorry to hear that :( Chris' dad always treated me like a "guest" despite the fact that we had been dating for about 2 years at that point. I always felt really unwelcome and I tried to stay in Chris' room in order not to bother him too much. :( my parents love Chris though and he loves them! :) I'm glad about that but I have to admit I felt kind of hurt that I was apparently the only one that was "unloved" by the in laws.

aww, that doesn't sound too good. maybe that means it is better if she doesn't come here after all. I hope she will be doing better soon though!

edit: TS RESTOCK!

honestly I could really care less. but now that his dad will be retiring..I am going to have to put up with them visiting more. Not just every few years. I just bite my tongue and let them come and count the days when they leave again. lol

I really thought with neo being bought it would have helped the site, but yeah, nope. I have in a few FB groups and the complaints are insane. I just shake my head and am so glad I am not on that site anymore. Also lots of people that I am in those groups with have really stopped spending so much time on neo or are quitting right out.

yeah, that's probably the only thing you CAN do. sadly, you can't pick a family when you pick a partner :/

it seems that ever since they got bought it has been going even more downhill then before. Silvia told me about the staff getting fired and all so I can imagine that people would want to quite and not spend that much time there.

then again, everyone seems to be moving to flight rising (?) these days.

yeah I noticed everyone went to flight rising. I have an account there, but just can't get into that site at all. I tried. lol Just not my thing I guess.

I have to go to PT and I don't want to. I am so done with it. But still have a couple of months to go. bleh.
