My autistic brother had to see a therapist after my mom found like 10,000 drawn porn pictures of this shit under his bed.

>>386297991
He had better taste than his mom.

>>386297991
That's pretty gangster

>>386297991
Were they good?

>>386296627
there was nothing else to do before and they were too late by the time facebook already did things similar

>>386297991
And he didn't post them to the internet? Shame on him.

>>386297991
post them

I think down the rabbit hole or some youtube series like that discussed the history of neopets well. I was familiar with its history until the purchase of viacom, but apparently there's still a lot thats happened since then, and apparently the site's on life support.

>spend time practicing drawing

i've seen that too, although personally i don't like his channel and videos

>>386299047
Should have just drawn her with smaller breasts. I mean would you even be allowed to submit in that in the beauty contests in Neopets?

>>386299047
If you aren't meming, get back to drawing, idiot. Fuck what your mom thinks.

based on that video it seems like he never played the game
the site always ran like total ass, it was so optimized, this was a huge reason why it started to die, took like 10 minutes to load pages

Was it Hannah? Hannah's who I'd have drawn, post Hannah.

Large cooperator incompetence and misappropriated money/resources. Then they started firing the best original people and cutting the better content for shitty pay-2-play. Its the typical case of out-of-touch executives calling the shots and chasing old trends that are no longer rewarding and not listening to what the users wanted, which was important because a lot of Neopets was user generated/influenced.

Neopets was sickly when Viacom owned it, then when it sold to Jumpstart it went straight into the critical care ward. Even the most dedicated players who are still around are holding our breaths for "the day" when its all over for real.

You know, i remember playing it a long time ago
Farmed a storm to get some cool brushes only to later realize they dont stack....
Fuck i was a moron back then
You guys think someday, someone will reclaim this one?
>>386302107
>That fucking stone wheel on Tyrania
I swear on the last day of that Almost Dead Page i will recover my password and shank the fucker who runs the wheel

Lack of updates. I stopped playing because the website looks like shit. It needs a revamp that appeals to the new generation of kids. I'm not sure what that means or looks like, but all I know is that it will be better than what it currently is right now.

I just went back now and it looks like shit on a 1080p screen: everything is small, you have to zoom in, and when you do zoom in, the menu looks blurred. Who in their right mind would buy this piece of crap, and keep it on life support for this long without making changes to it?

No clue. My mom got rid of them before I had the chance. All I remember is a ton of fucking drama. Went on for months. My mom was losing her shit. All the computers had to have the screens facing where my parents could watch.

>>386302663
I'm sorry you grew up with religious parents.

>>386302663
Well,
1) Were they any good
2) How old was he

>>386302663
Damn, Anything you can remember? cause if it was going for months it means you could have read some of it
Now let me tell you, let an autistic kid run amuck with whatever it likes and it will turn it into something Amazing
Be it for good or for bad

That's like, all of them.

>tfw barely any good porn of kyrii

I worked so hard every day after grade school farming lab map pieces, and when I finally got them all I just stopped playing.

I think it was frustration over being too stupid to clear the Altador event

>>386303340
There's barely any good porn, period.

>>386303836
I wonder why

the game is literal furry bait

>>386302784
They were garbage. Think CWC, but a little better. Same style shit. They were explicit as fuck. My mom had to talk to him about why some shit just isn't OK. I only saw the first few pages before she got rid of them. I kinda hope she kept them and I find them one day, but I highly fucking doubt it. I can't even remember much. I was eight and he was fourteen. I haven't talked to him in years, but apparently he's balls deep in Star Citizen now.

>>386303382
To be fair, finding the constellations was total fucking bullshit.

>>386303219
True, but Neopets was not the kind of entity that could forgive that sort of thing. The original creators that ran the show were very in-touch with the userbase and a good chunk of the leftover staff did their best to keep the place fun even during Viacom's reign.

What I don't understand is how Viacom could fuck up a killer franchise like Neopets in the early 2000s. They already had McDonalds and other promotional tie-ins as well as multiple merch and card games and things. A viacom backed Nickelodeon cartoon scripted by the plot writers could have been very successful.

As soon as Viacom took over they gutted all the real-world tie ins and...god only knows what their angle was after that. The spent 2-3 years doing jack shit for the direction of the franchise only to role out the site-overhaul that no one wanted and paid items to dress up your pet which was also a contentious choice.

I think there's good porn of Xandra. The villain from the Faerieland destruction plot.
