The purge, for those who don't know, is when neopets goes back through old inactive and frozen accounts and deletes them. This frees up real name (RN) and real word (RW) pets. Even if you're not interested in RW/RN pets, if you get a good one, they can be easily traded for much higher pets. This would be a great opportunity for those looking to upgrade their pets/ account legitimacy free or make a quick 'sliver', if you catch my drift. If you want more information about the purge, scroll to the bottom of my post. If not, continue reading..

ILLEGIT PURGE TUTORIAL
100% Original. Created and thought up by myself.
Exclusively for Neocodex.
***********
*** Freeze Rate: Testing ***
*** It also works for people trying to get a purged name while at school/work/sleep.. etc ***
I used the Firefox Add-on 'Reload Every' to grab my pets quickly. Reload Every is essentially an app for refershing any given page, (you set how fast/slow), multiple times in firefox. The link to download the app can be found here: https://addons.mozil...on/reloadevery/
***********
Enter the pet name you desire but make sure the pet is soon to be purged (see bottom of post if you don't understand)..
- Click the 'Adopt!' link and it should take you to a page that says "Error: Sorry, that name has already been taken. Please try again!"
- **** MAKE SURE THE NAME YOU WANT IS ENTERED CORRECTLY BEFORE YOU CLICK ADOPT ****
- Next right click on that page and go to Reload Every>Custom
- Set the custom settings to 0 minutes and 0 seconds.
- Finish by pressing enter.
This also applies to when you want to end the session: Reload Every>Disable
TO INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF A SUCCESSFUL CREATION, REPEAT THESE STEPS IN MULTIPLE TABS!!!
This also applies if you are /stalking/ multiple pets at the same time!
*TIP: If you're leaving your computer unattended for a long period of time, I had a lot of success in placing something heavy on my CTRL key. I just noticed the tabs moved/reloaded a lot quicker. Also, opening too many tabs can cause firefox to either crash or lagg. Keep it within reason!
*** One final warning!! ***

Basic Purge Info:
Most of what I know I found out through the neopets 'Pound Chat'. They have two separate boards going around specifically for the purge.
For those who don't know, accounts are deleted in alphabetical order ( 0-9,a-z,_ ) and have been purging for quite a while. The purge is currently at 'S' which means it would be dumb to try the above method for a pet found on a 'Z__" account. To find out SPECIFICALLY what letter combination we are at, Visit the pound chat purge board.
- Accounts must be 18+ months inactive to be purged
- NOT ALL INACTIVE/FROZEN ACCOUNTS ARE PURGED!!! ** I can't stress this enough. 70% of the names I tried to get were simply skipped over!"
- Pets you create must be 7 days old before transfering/pounding
Also, 'Victoria', (not my pet), traded for a VWN UC plushie.

If you've stuck with me this long, you're obviously interested in trying your luck at catching a pet. As a result, I am giving away my list of pets that might be purged! I'll just attach it in a text format. You won't be the only person after these pets, but it'll at least give you a starting point. The list has the pet name and then the account name it's on. Keep in mind that accounts, once again, are purging in the 'S' section. Also the list took me hours and hours to create...
