I'm an old time user who just got back into Neopets the last year or so. I miss the original Neopet artwork, it was a total shock to my mental state to see it changed. It almost seems unfair they forced that change on the majority on Neopets. >.>
And the community is SO much smaller! One of my favorite things to do as a kid was hangout in the role playing thread. I feel like everything is pretty much dead now in comparison.
ALSO, did anyone else religiously collect the McDonald Happy Meal Neopets plushies?
