From the most recent news:

Site Update - Over the next few days, the Code Myncis will be migrating all account information, like usernames and such, over to a fancy new system they built. They're really jazzed about it, but that unfortunately means some slowness and downtime for the site overall, so we wanted to give you a heads up and let you know what to expect once they're done:


* Usernames and passwords will work on both Neopets.com and PetpetPark.com. (They already do, but this is better.) ;)
* During this time, you may not be able to update your account data on the site, including your password. (There will be an error message instead.)
* Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will have changed! You will see a message to accept the new versions the next time you log in after the maintenance is over.
* Registration will be down for a bit during this time so you will not be able to create new accounts.
* We need to fill in missing data in the new system, so you may be asked to update your email address (or your parents email address), your country, and your state information.


We hope to keep the downtime as short as possible, but please be patient with us during the maintenance!


I wonder if this is a reaction to the CGing spree which was going on recently or if they already had this maintenance planned before it happened.

    I really do hope, TNT have cleared up the site in terms of content, appearance and the increase of general error.

    It might just be a backend update rather than adding lots of new features or changing the appearance.

    They could once again also be changing the restock captchas for a new method


    Hopefully but I seriously doubt it.

    It's still safe to AB for now I presume

    Hopefully they make the site, you know, less shitty.

    I'm a little worried about this. What are the odds they will change the login page(s) for their new system?

    JS captchas are hackable, and if they redesign the login page it would take all of 5 minutes to fix it in codex utilities (provided its still using html frontend)..

    Those who are gunning for the down for maintenance pteri load your autorefreshers (I got mine like a week ago while autorefreshing other bd opponents :D)

    It sounds like they're going to improve their data collection and storage.

    Usernames and passwords will work on both Neopets.com and PetpetPark.com. (They already do, but this is better.)

    The only real way I can perceive it being better is if they somehow make data access faster, or more effective. I'd find it quite comical if they're simply duplicating data for both sites.

    Neopets never used to encrypt passwords, did they? (unless this has changed in my years of absence) Which means they've harvested over 100,000,000 usernames, emails and passwords. It's almost unimaginable on a site of such a large scale. Perhaps finally they're taking the necessary steps better organise and store player data.

    Haha. The tonu look better. Thats just a slightly browner draik then a brown draik with cum + sprinkles & cherry on his head.

    Great use there of back referencing to post Scion bro. That's how the forum should be treated: as a search-able database of information.

    Site hasn't been slow or down for me yet - wonder if that means they haven't started. I don't see them working on it over the weekend...

    I don't really care about the CG'ers since we know how to protect themselves, but my items are really selling quite a bit slower due to the lower activity on the site >_<

    haha. I don't know what the hype about CG's is. I visit all neopets sites period. I don't worry about userlookups or ANYTHING. and I have never been CG'd. Luck? eh, possibly. but its w/e


    Doesnt change the fact that its out there and fucking other people, I feel bad for them specially if they spent years playing legitly.
    Things obviously needs to be changed.

    My account is 9 years and I've been CG'ed twice, even taking all the precautions I could. The second time I think I was keylogged too, because I had a pin on everything that wasn't easy to guess and they still got it. Pounded my 450HSD pet, handpainted maraquan, and stole 20mil I earned legitly. Neeeeedless to say, I was pretty pissed. :p

    Guess I'm lucky enough that I still have my account after that though.

    Sorry to ehar that.
    It just annoys me that removing HTML on use profile/look ups til they fix the problem shoulda been a decent move by TNT but no, they decided to let it slide.
