Not super important, but starting this topic because I've seen a few questions about it.
The pound chat especially has been sending out rumors of a 'purge' currently occurring.

ONE (known) account was deleted somehow (glitch, hack, something), and three common real word pets were created from it- Grey, Egg, and Sad.
The pound chat has been antsy, saying the purge may be restarting. But to the best of my knowledge this account, saddy was an isolated instance.

So which one of you hacked neo?

[Cloud9]

Awww. :3 All that hype for one account lol. Thanks for clearing things up! ^-^

Just waiting for a long time, multiple time frozen account user to land a job at neopets and log in one night when the offices are closed and run a muck.

Hahaha, I still want to know who was responsible for the Sara/Mischief thing, that person deserves a huge kudos.

[Subtle]

First off, you are amazing for using that gif, of all the gifs you could have chosen .
Did you know it's from the Rescuers Down Under? Hahahaha.

And Sara and Mischief were both just regular, converted pets.
Someone hacked neo and uncoverted Sara- making her a uc rg kyrii, uncoverted Mischief- making him a uc tyrannian krawk, and I forgot there was one more, Spirit the uc faerie draik.
Pretty epic stuff, but tnt figured out what was going on and froze them all.

Is that from the Adventurers Down Under?

Cool I thought I recognized it.

Hahahahaha, I used to live vicariously through those movies.

[likerobots]

oh man that stinks. there are some pretty wonderful RW ucs out there though. :'(

[Subtle]

Like 80% of them are owned by the same three people though :c

Oh boy oh boy, the purge is happening again? Guess we're gonna have to neomail him and ask him where he is~

Seriously though, hurray! I really hope the account with a pet name I love purges this time 'round... It got skipped last time ;_;

I don't really think so, the last purge wasn't that long away and TNT doesn't do it that often o:

&It's a shame that the creator of egg didn't capitalize the 'e' if they were hoping to trade her :x~ The PC is full of name-picky and dramatic people

Mmn, I thought it was a bit soon too, but we're just gonna have to wait and see~


... Ehehe, welp x3 PC people are kind of silly!! I can see why capitalised letters and all are important, but hey at least it doesn't have any numbers or underscores or whatever in it! Golly gosh

Ascetically pleasing or OCD.

I'm just super disappointed that they have a character limit on usernames now, 6. My last username, which was the one I was most popular on and my all time favorite, is 5 characters. So I'll never have the chance to get it back. -sigh-

Oh geeze, when did they implement a 6 character limit on usernames?!?

Guess I'll never be able to get the account Yung. I've been waiting >.<

[Coops]

This. So much win.

Well, in all honesty we have no idea how Neopets is really going to continue doing purges, as there has really only been one purge. I mean, there have been others but they weren't organized or systematic like the last one was.

Not to mention, shortly before the purge they updated their TOS to state that after 2 years of inactivity, accounts will be deleted although that has yet to happen because I've been stalking some accounts that have been inactive for more than 3-4 years.

Yeah. I agree with you. Because I was gone 3+ years. And I had all my old accounts, sitting, rotting with my pets, a couple UCs, etc. Nothing was purged. And only one account was iced. Although, that's weird because I had logged in that account once last summer for funsies. And when I did really come back in Feb. it was iced for "being inactive" whilst accounts I hadn't logged in years were still active. -shrugs- The way TNT handles their business just seems whacked, incompetent, and unorganized to be honest. But that's me.

It was a few years ago.
All this purge talk really makes me miss my most famous account. Stupid cunt on the boards used the dung smiley to call me a little piece of shit, I called her an idiot and got frozen for harassment. She got nothing. =|
Had 5 VWN UC Grundos, a gallery worth lord knows how much, accounts full of VWN Painted Grundos. 23/25 Virtupets Stamps (favorite avatar EVER) -cries-

Ouch. That's a bummer you lost that. I just don't venture into the boards unless I need something from someone like a lend, or if I'm buying/selling. And even then I don't like to. Neoboards are lame. .___.

In a way I hope it's yearly or at least bi-yearly... But then there are lots of inactive 7+ year old accounts with like 4 UCs on them or whatever, and it would really suck if someone wanted to start playing again with their old account but couldn't visit their starving little pixels they spent time with years ago because it's 100% gone >w>
Mind you, haven't TNT been kind of unreasonable lately when it comes to people suddenly accessing old, inactive accounts and freezing them? I know about the unregistered emails and all, but what about going back on accounts without going near the email part of things?

Spoiler

Oh lordy, I just checked out a certain account which had 4 UC plushies on it which hasn't been touched in years just now, and it says >Last Spotted: 3 days ago, and the Draik isn't on there anymore D: I hope the original owner is on it and not someone else.. (not sure why I'm caring really, but yeah x3)

A while ago iirc D: I tried making a five character long account like a year and a half ago but it yelled at me for not having six characters.....

I dunno. But that was really the case with me coming back in Feb. I wanted to play again but I was stuck on my side. Fortunately, I did send a ticket and provided enough information to get my account back. So they reactivated my account (which was a surprise for me). It would have been a minor bummer to come back and them to have purged my account/pets. I mean I guess. I would have been mildly put back mostly because I would have lost a few things people had given me. But in all honesty, it's a game. Probably why I cheat on it hah (that and if TNT doesn't play fair, why should I?). So I guess I'd get over it quickly. But I do understand that people put effort into something, and don't want to see it go to waste.

I feel like people missed the point of this board
The purge isn't going on, just a few people playing a hoax, lol.

[rhexis07]

Well it's been almost exactly an year since the last major purge, so I suppose it's possible...

One thing i have come to expect from neocodex members is for them to take your original post and take it into either a sexual conversation or some sort of argument.

Lol, good to know. Guess I'm still waiting on the former.
