"NOTICE - Due to increasing numbers of Neopets causing core dumps on our database servers, we had to make some changes to how the site performs. Unfortunately, this means we will have to purge some Neopets from the system. Starting on Monday, each account will only be allowed three Neopets rather than four. In the next few hours, we will be sending Neopets into the Pound and purging the Pound itself by the end of today (Sunday).

If you would like to help us out, please visit the Pound and send a Neopet of your choice to it! If one is not chosen by the time we start running the Automated Pound Transfer script, a random Neopet will be chosen for you and taken to the Pound to be purged. Please stay tuned for further updates! We apologize for the inconvenience."


I cannot tell if this is an april fools joke or not... it would be f'ked up if people start pounding pets and then it turns out to be a joke.

    If you bid on a dung item, Nigel says "Ha Ha, your item belongs to me now."

    I was going to put it in entertainment but i figured you would have the same response, give or take a word or two.

    "Debate" is the closest thing to "question" so i stuck it here. And now you have to sit there frustrated wondering why it is in the wrong place. =P

    I was literally half asleep when i posted this. You guys can lock it, delete it, hell move it to sweenys page... I don't care. Now that I know its an april fools joke I can rest easy.

    If only there was a section to chat about general neopets issues, we could call it Neopet General Chat!

    If somebody hadn't made a report in some obscure language it could have been dealt with quicker.

    Exactly. We can't be expected to handle reports made in dead, third-world languages.
