I think when OP is mad it's hilarious.

I think it's important to note that it's not just our site that is less active, all Neopets forums are less active than they previously have been.

This is actually one of the more active Neopets cheating site in terms of neo related and unrelated. Most from the time this site was made to now don't exist or exist in a state like Neofreaks/overwhelmed with the dirty cheating of Neopets.

To be honest, I question the value of members that don't believe their own opinion is worth making an effort to express. What can they contribute to any discussion, if they're not willing to expose their ideas to other people?

That said, there are members who are indiscriminately rude, and I think that I set a bad example in that respect. People seem to believe that I gallivant about, shooting down every original thought in a flurry of criticism and witticism. That really isn't the case.

For what my opinion matters, I see you as someone who continues to irritate others. Sort of like when you're attemtping to explain something to a child and they keep asking 'why' just to be annoying. It almost isnt worth going through the trouble to continue repeating your thoughts. You however are not a big reason why the quantity and quality of posts are going down. I think the general feeling of "I don't have to post intelligent things mostly because the anonymity of being behind a [computer] screen keeps me safe." Safe from what? I'm not so sure of, but the fact that some members are short changing themselves of intellectual interaction this is just silly.

Everyone who is on their period needs to chill the fuck out.

Sexist asshole!

I concur that on occasion there are people who are unnecessarily hostile and rude to other members. But I also think that it is worth pointing out that there are just as many members who are butthurt little pussies whenever anyone posts in disagreement with them.

Oh my god THANK YOU.

I never understood the intimidation of Neocodex's "older members". You do realize the scary veterans of this site are adorable 22 year old fresh faced boys who can't grow beards, right? I'm more intimidated by creepy people like Turnip. NO ONE IS THAT HAPPY AND NICE. NO ONE.

If you feel like you're an outsider, and aren't fitting into any 'cliques', you have no one to blame but yourself. Even the scariest members of this site are quite welcoming once you get to know them. Make the effort to learn things about the people here instead of wishing they'd notice you first. And even if you still don't get along with this person or that person, so what? I bet you there is someone out there who enjoys your posts, you just might not know it. If someone makes a meanie pants comment to you, ignore it or address it and move on with your life. It's not all that serious. If you let someone ruin your enjoyment of this site, it's your own fault for dwelling. Stop being such silly billies!

I like the idea of a NEWBIE OF THE WEEK. Or something like that. Give a fake trophy to someone who is new and isn't a leeching idiot. Very prestigious. I think I gave an unofficial one to a newbie named Buba. I think they're banned now, but it was fun while it lasted.

Sounds kind of like when we used to have the codies. I say we bring those back

Noitidart's been crying for them to come back for the past 3 years. Maybe this is the year to do it!

If it's implemented in a way in which I don't have to do anything then I'm all for it!

I don't see why we shouldn't, it might show some people they're appreciated even if they don't get voted into advanced+ or retired.

Get a mod/volunteer to run it?

In all seriousness, can we bring back the member title bars? I don't know if those will help anything, but they were awesome

True facts. I don't think anyone has them anymore, though...

GFX section-->New user bars-->Hold contests like 100 post day, recruiter contests, etc with userbars as reward-->PROFIT

They just wouldn't be as cool as the old ones =(

Nothing is ever as cool as its nostalgic counterpart

They would be a good start though. I personally liked getting a user bar as a reward for a contest much more than NP. Speaking of which, what happened to the Codies awards?!

I saw someone post them a while back, not sure who it was though. But I have seen them. Maybe it was redilon? Sorry, I'm probably wrong.

I would be happy to do it, if it gets off the ground. I love running contests

These FTMFW! Good shit

[Waser Lave]

When were those from?

[Sweeney]

The screenshot is from the start of '07. The bars from long before that.

[ch33psh33p]

Oh wow, I remember those.

Also Rocket, lets make our own clique. United we stand against the wolves!

Yaaaay! (Apart from Adv member... who made that!?)
There's one or two missing, but I'm sure you'll be able to find them, you hero.

How did you find them?

Internet Archive, surprisingly the original image links still work.

^ Example. If you can find the urls for the others that I missed you should be able to get them again.

Nice job, I could only find the Admin one on the Wayback Machine Hardly any threads are archived.
Obviously, I just wasn't working hard enough!
