Most of my friends don't know just because the topic never came up, but I wouldn't have a problem telling them if it did. I personally don't think there's anything wrong to still play Neopets, at least it's something I enjoy doing. ^___^
I'm still kind of legit since I'm too lazy to cheat and I don't have an old account to AB. T___T
But it's funny when I'm in a guild and people talk about their neo-accomplishments (and they're obviously legit players)...
I never really played Neopets, I just chatted on the NeoBoards.. so it's not like I have a main account I really care about/wouldn't risk losing. So there isn't really a reason to not cheat.
