Hi I'm old....

[Felidae Labyrinthine]

Hi everybody. I've been on Neopets for more than 5 years... sweatdrop
I'm here to tell you tales of when Neopia was young! I can remember:
Destructomatch 1
When Maraqua first went under
The beginnings of Meridell, Brightvale, etc
Ice Cream Factory (NOT "Machine"!!)
When the Lost Desert was new!
Before they changed the layout
Before Neopia was swamped with ads
Before Rukis, Ixis, Tonus, Draiks, etc were out....
If you're old like me, we can sit around the fire and moan about the good old days. Or you can go around being a newb not even CARING about Neopia's rich history!
It's your choice.

I remember a lot of that, I'm about a year and a half younger than you are. I miss old Neo. Their users are getting younger and younger... Wich really gets annoying because of all those kids ranting on about how Neopets is a "kids" site.  

[[ Z a d i i e ]]

I've been playing for six years now. =D
I miss Destruct-o-Match (1). I played that every
day, three times a day.
What about Lenny Trivia? 25NPs for every right
answer.
When Paint Brushes and such were buyable. ;P

Meridell & Brightvale are pretty recent, actually.

Have a look at this petpage. I can remember alot of this, 6 years for me also heart

I remember when the pets where really badly drawn xd

I have been on neopets for about five and a half years now...I think. I remember when paintbrushes where only like 10k. WOW! I wish is was like that again, of course we only had a few choices of colors.

I was looking at those old pictures of the Neopets and it is any wonder that people joined neopets.  

[Yaymeimashi]

I've been on neo for 4 years, that I can account for. I remember some pets looked different than they do now, but I don't know when they changed them. And, no, I'm not talking about the recent updates...

I was lookin at the neopeage that Raven_Christine mentioned, and I remember the 2nd and 3rd versions of the pets...Am I that old, or have I just seen them somewhere else? I lose track of everything so easily nowadays...

I got my first account around three years ago, so I don't remember much of that.  

[ilovemycat5]

My account is 25 months. mrgreen Hehe, things DO change.

And now, when you use 'Foul language' in your user prefs info box (where you can enter the code for a layout or background or write about yourself) they will tell you: "Please do not use Foul language. This is a children's site". eek

I've only been on for a year, so I don't know any of this. But I look forward to the day in the future when I can say "I remember when there was only one side of Neopia!" xd

Wow, a lot of those old pets scare me. eek Especially the 2nd Acara, it's a fish or something! And all of those badly drawn ones.

But the old Zafara was so cute! I wish they were still like that. crying The old Kois were cuter too.  

[[ Z a d i i e ]]

I like the old Zafaras a lot better too.
One day I came on after not being on for quite a bit and was like, "WTF happened to my pet?"
The only Zafara I really like is the Plushie one.
I finally got one and she is my pride and joy. =X

ZOMG I JUST REMEMBERED THE RAINBOW FOUNTAIN!!!! It was like MAGIC!!! You got a couple of free passes that you could use to paint your pets ANY color at all... that's how I got my Faerie Poogle... *heh* ^_^
And they say SOMEDAY they'll reopen it... but I doubt it xd  

[[ Z a d i i e ]]

You can still use the Rainbow Pool but you have to get a quest from the Fountain Faerie. I don't remember it ever being open to everybody. o___0
