I used to have an account donkeys years ago, I've long since forgotten about it all(username and password)
Apparently the original creators went to the same school as me, probably long before I turned up, but still gives me a small sense of pride.
Pretty much this, came up in conversation a few months back but i had absolutely no idea what my username/password may have been for the site.

Did introduce me to the idea of an online community tho, so i'm grateful for that.

I played briefly around when it was released when I was 12. I didn't really like it much. Basically forced to play a bunch of mini games I didn't really care for and all the pets I wanted were locked off.

I imagine the game is currently riddled with micro transactions.

I really don't see the allure in the game. Unless you're absolutely dead broke I can think of tons of games/things i'd rather be doing. If you are broke, you definitely shouldn't be playing neopets lol.

Woooow now that was a long time ago, I remember back then. I no longer have an account but it almost makes me wanna make a new one to see whats changed. Though knowing how tv movies and video-games almost never make anything better when combined. It makes me think twice.

I remember that dam tree that gave free stuff. Never got anything from it though lol.

Yeah, some parts are pretty shite now, but what they've kept is as good as ever.

And the Money Tree! :D I remember one time I picked up a bucket of sludge. I was so proud of myself.

I know, I adored the older users, with their awesome rare powerful Neopets. I was never that cool :'(
So I had my Kau.
What made me really mad was that both of my older sisters who introduced me to the internet and Neopets had Poogles, but didn't want them, so they gave them away. It made me really mad because they succeeded where I failed in two places (Getting Poogles and being emotionally disconnected enough to just toss them aside) and because, seriously, you couldn't have just given them to me? I'm the one who loves Poogles! And I'm pretty sure there was a way to give them to specific people, if not just tell me when they gave them up so I could get them from the Adoption Agency, but no. That would be nice to do for the younger brother. Can't have that can we?

Great, now a wave of sentimental emotion just swept over me.

...and now you tell me my accounts probably been deleted :(

I haven't used that site in years, but to think all those memories have been deleted makes me sad. That like if someone threw away all my old pokemon cards.

EDIT: OMG its still there yay! Don't remember my password or old email address to send it to though...
awww my one of my pets had the stupidest name. Thats what I get for getting them for the adoption agency
I know, it's actually a pretty low thing to do, deleting all the old accounts. Sure, they may be unused, but that doesn't mean they're going to stay that way. Glad to hear yours is still up and running!
I had about five different accounts teehee. Three of them are still there and I think the other two have been deleted :( And all of my pets were painted so nicely :(
Actually just tried to sign into one of the ones still there, but I cant remember any of my old email addresses to send the passwords too. Damn me and my 100+ email accounts I've accumulated over the years.

Wow?! I forgot completely about them! I think I was about 9/10 when I first found the site! I loved some of the games on there, though I still relied on the good old soup fairy.

I think my pet was a dragon thingy, little blue dude. He was so awesome! Damn...I'ma have to go and check this site out again.

EDIT: Just signed up for it again...Got my little awesome Shoyru Dragon back :D

Oh God I'm sorry D:
If it's any consolation, they've added a feature at the pound where you can transfer Neopets over to a specific persons account, if you don't want them, but someone else does. It's rather neat-o. You get people advertising their pets for transit, just so they don't get stuck in the pound.

And just like me, I actually got attached to my pets. Hell, I don't think I could get rid of my current one, and I'm a big girl now D:

I used my mums old ass Microsoft Office Outlook email account, and then she forgot the password for it, and it never got opened again.

I went through about 30 different accounts because I'd always forget my details. I remember ahving a jubjub and something badass which the name escapes me. But yeah...neopets, those were the days.

Yeah I played when I was a kid, used to go to after school computer club just to play (as we had no interwebs at home at the time). I don't remember what my pet was, this was pre-facial hair me we're talking about here, but I do remember the very mean lizard at the 'adoption centre' and how I was always guilted into not quitting by him...

I was never into Neopets, but I remember it being all the rage when I was younger. Now I pretty much hear nothing about it.

I remember that!
I especially remember when i bought this rainbow star super attack thingy for battle, which was a piece of crap.
The games weren't bad though tbh.

I used to spend pretty much all day on there playing the random games, but never really got into the actual pet side of it.

I had a green JubJub named Itsybitsyfluffyduffy. He once caught a disease after I spun the wheel of misfortune and I felt so terrible. I finally found a cure in a small player owned shop. I sent the owner a thank-you message.

Good god that was a long time ago...

Damn this takes me back...I had all the "Guy" ones. The dinosaurs, snakes, etc. It was my first obession. I even paid my sister 5 dollars once to feed them while I was grounded. I haven't been back in like 8 or 9 years, and honestly, i'd like to hold on to the fond memories, so I don't think I will go back.

It was awesome though. I remember going to a pet shop in-game and seeing the sign
"If anything growls...back away slowly" Still find hilarious.
It was the people that made it great.

Yeah, the mean old Techo. He's the reason I never got rid of any of my pets :'(

This. This this this this. It was a community. A community of kids, sure, but it showed me a lot. I loved visiting other profiles and reading what people liked, and visiting the forums to chat.

For a pre-teen in New Zealand, suddenly being able to chat with people from all over the world was a big thing.
