"March 3rd has been CANCELLED due to lack of interest... again. Your regularly scheduled news will resume tomorrow when we're sure interest will return. Until then, Happy March 3rd."

^ came from Neopets News page. What does this mean? o.o

    Bless you.

    March 3rd is "cancelled due to lack of interest" every year. It's a... thing.

    So I presume the next Mystery Pic will be out tomorrow instead of today? If so it could improve the prize money slightly since there'd be one day to get the answer in. :p

    So it's like a "every-year" kind of cancellation of the news? o__o?

    Why is this? It's just a thing they do? :p ... It's just weird I suppose, why it says "lack of interest" ... who's lacking the interest, the players or the TNT staff?

    Lame attempt at being funny to justify a day off. They do it a lot in the Editorials where they always preface bad news with some silly bullshit like *chucks asparagus at TNT HURR HURR HURR*.

    The site works normally.

    It's just a joke about them not wanting to do anything new.

    Don't get your panties up in a bunch :thumbsup:

    This started several years ago, and like other people have said, it's just a joke these days, nothing special.

    Though, it came as a surprise when the first one came about, everyone was confused as to why there was a lack of interest.

    GUYS. Its a reference to the song Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs.

    Due to lack of interest tomorrow is canceled
    Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
    'Cos there?s nothing at all except the space in between
    Finding out what you?re called and repeating your name



    :)


    (I doubt it, most likely its just a joke)

    I don't know why they bother to include those suckup prefaces in the editorial letters about "throwing cookies" and "giving cookies" and "Oooo TNT I wuv you sooooo much", it's annoying and a waste of space and a bit pathetic.

    That's because they are idiots, and TNT likes to feel special.

    It's just from way back in the day when Neopets was actually fun and TNT wasn't just douchers and actually interacted with the members.
