An online game, originally designed for college students, but has developed to target mainly kids with its promotions like happy meals.

Yet, if you dare go on the neoboards and post "This is a kids site" You'll get flammed by a ton of users saying that it wasn't created for kids. But guess what? It is now, and no, you are not awesome just because you know the fact that it didn't start as a kids site.

Yeah, it was good a long time ago, but it sucks now.

One reason being, that once the staff realized they could make money off their lame site, they really over-did it with the sponsors and advertising. You even have to PAY MONTHLY to enjoy the site to its fullest, which you have to be an idiot spending your money on IMAGES ON A WEBSITE.

And what better audience to target than young kids? With the cute colorful characters and happy meals and what not. With all the little 12 year olds joining the site, the more the neoboards get clogged with spam.

This brings up many more subjects. One being, how the monitors can't handle it. And by deleting the general chat, all the other boards get spammed up. Of course older users, that are still completely clueless, aren't going to go to the newbies board thinking that they are not a newbie and they don't know where else to go. So most of them end up at the help chat. From there, they get flamed by DOZENS of users, and report happies that think they are cool, or doing good insulting and reporting them. This could even lead to getting their account frozen.

THE SPAM PROBLEM COULD BE UNDER CONTROL if you guys didn't get an ego boost by flaming and bumping up every pointless topic on the boards. I mean, one person telling the creator of the topic that it is spam is enough, not dozens of users. It only bumps the topics up, clogging the boards with the spam that bothers everyone oh so much. When if you only payed attention to topics that mattered, the spam ones would'nt stay on the first page for very long if more people just ignored them with maybe one warning telling the user that it is spam.

Then theres the games. When is neopets going to realize that there are so many programs created to cheat on their games? Have you ever seen accounts with DOZENS of game trophies? Or the same users getting the highscore on every single game that month? Hah.

Don't even get me started with customization. I guess its "cute" dressing your pets up, but the neopets staff just added a ton of extra unnessasary work for them to do. Not to mention how ugly the new redraws are, and how stupid the clothes looks on most pets since the colors and thicknesses of the lines stand out and look bad. What if they release a new species now? They'll have to draw hundreds of clothing that was already released to fit that new species. And Honestly, I think the NC mall was the only reason they went through with the customzation idea. Once people realize how fun it is customzing their pet, the'll pay money for more clothes to put on their pets. And they're expensive too.

Then we have favoritism. Face it, some users are adored by the staff. One good example would be Shaddykins. This person cannot draw for shit, yet they let her in almost every art gallery page, just because she talks to at least one of the staff members. Did you know that you win 10,000 nps and a rare item everytime you get in the art gallery? They're basically giving her free handouts. And she lies about it too, saying she earns all her neopoints from playing games. Ha, bullshit. She's not the only favored user in the art gallery. And not the only favored user on the site either. But enough of that.

Neopets has so many REDICULOUS rules that aren't even stated clearly anywhere, thats why so many people break them and get their accounts frozen. You can't say hell or damn? People wouldn't know since they say hell and damn all over the site.
Neopets user: Omgz look at the cute tiara I bought in the NC mall!

Someone with common sense: Congratulations on getting scammed out of your money :D

Since every entry for Neopets is negative and filled with swearwords, I'm going to type up an entry for a dictionary that I may never use.
Neopets is a virtual pet site where you can own Neopets, play games, earn Neopoints, buy clothes, food and toys and for over-13 users, you can chat on the Neoboards, an online forum limited to Neopets topics and utilize Neomail, which is a function that can mail other Neopets users.

Neopets - a collective name for a group of diverse virtual pets. Some neopets are Limited Edition which means that you can only get them on their respective celebratory day (except for the Lutari) and some are Restricted, which means you have to do something different or go somewhere else to find one.
Neopoints - the currency of Neopets. You can earn them through games, the stock market, restocking and some lucky REs. You can buy clothes, toys and food for your neopets with neopoints.
Neoboards - an online forum limited to Neopets users and topics. There are avatars to find around the site that you can use on the neoboards. There are different topics like Merchandise, Neoquest, Roleplaying, Newbies, Battledome and Avatars and Neosignatures.
Neomail - a mail service limited to Neopets users. If you neomail too much, you can be neomail-banned.

There are other aspects of the site such as Neofriends, stat-raising and so on.
As for the report-happy stuff, it's true. As for the unfair freezing, that's true. However, that doesn't mean you can go and swear about Neopets. In fact, if you're even going to swear about something virtual, then you're a serious loser.
And just because you can doesn't mean you can accuse Neopets of dirty stuff like hypocrisy. And anyways, Jazz has been frozen. BTW, the only reasons why you are frozen are because:
1. You broke a rule.
2. You've been caught in a freezing spree.
3. You were wrongly frozen in a single case (that means not in a freezing spree), in which you usually are unfrozen, as in the case of Carla.
Neopets is glitchy at times, like all other virtual pet/game sites. Judging from what you wrote, I can infer that all of you that wrote those negative articles wrote those articles like 2 years ago.
Other pet site user: I've been thinking of trying out Neopets...

An annoying website where you adopt weird "pets" that you can name and take care of, give them pets and then give their pets pets. You earn money (np) by playing very bad games, and some things are exclusive to neocash that you have to pay for. The staff are not any better, as the reporting scheme is WORSE than in youtube and deviantart. They favour over users, they suspend (aka Freeze) you for no reason and they have bad attitudes.

12 Reasons not to play Neopets:

1. The Games
2. Gameplay
3. Noobs
4. The boards
5. The Staff
6. No longer free!
7. Freezing
8. Paintbrushes
9. Items
10. Hypocrisy
11. The pets
12. Waste of time.
1. The Games.
The Games here SUCK! Most are ripoffs of classic games, like Snake II, Arkanoid and also some others. The rest are boring games (Although Hassee Bounce was ok). Also, Neopoint payouts are so low getting them is TEDIOUS.

2. Gameplay
You take care of up to 4 pets and you buy stuff for them and their home. That's all.

3. Noobs
Self explanatory

4. The boards
Full of Noobs, report happies and also liberal douches.

5. As I've said, they make Hitler seem cool.

6.No longer free!

That's right, you have to pay for the good features on this stupid website. Want to dress up your pet? Make a house? PAY UP! It's becoming like Millsberry, another sucky game.

7. Unfair freezing
Very often, mainly because of noobs, report happies and liberal douches from being on the boards.

8. Paintbrushes
Pay over 9,000 (x50) Neopoints to change your neopet's colour! Hooray!

9. Items
Pay points for items to feed your neopets, groom it and even to use as collectables. Whoop dee doo.

10.Hypocrisy
Saying "happy easter" or "Merry Christmas" will get you banned. Funny, since there is a Christmas Paintbrrush for use!

11. Pets
Weird looking little fuckers in all the colors of the rainbow and other designs! I call bullshit.

12. Waste of time
Self explanatory.

"Neopets" is a virtual pet site where you can not only throw away your time, but also your money, sanity, and social life! Though it has a "battledome", a place where you can have your pet fight another pet with various weapons, the word "hit" is blocked from the chatboards to prevent naughty discussions, because on Neopets, bad things don't exist! And good old "TNT" (the neopets team) blocked all words related to Twilight, isn't that great? Now, you can struggle to type out your Uncle Edward, Grandma Bella, and sister Alice's names! If that's not enough to get you to join, get this! After all the time you've spent collecting pixels, TNT just might freeze you for hacking, for no reason whatsoever! Cool, huh? Neopets even has this great feature where you can report anybody you want! That's right! Anyone! Did that sarcasm hurt your feelings? Well lucky for you, one fake sob story and click of a button, and they're gone! The best part is, over 70% of the population are illiterate 11 year olds who whine and cry and angst and squeal about crappy bands! There's even bitchy adults who TNT just adore, that spend all of their lives hovering over a computer screen instead of tending to their children and going on dates! Isn't that fun? Well, I hope you enjoy your time on Neopets!
1) Brittney: Hey, what'd you do for your birthday?
Jessica: I spent my whole day trying to get a highscore on "Evil Fuzzles From Beyond The Stars", then I celebrated with my guild members and they sent me a bunch of cool items!

2)Kelly: Hey, Becky, do you still play Neopets?
Becky: Are you kidding? that site used to be fun, but since Viacom bought it, it hasn't been the same!

Neopets is a virtual game usually went on age 5-7. It used to be cool, until they took down the general chat on the Message Boards. They took it down because all these 7 year olds were all like: "LOLOLOLOLOLOL HAY ANY GIRLZ WANNA B MAH GF IF U NO WUT I MEEN" and some maturer person year old goes like: "HEY KID! NO ONE WILL EVER DATE YOU BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN THINK YOU'RE A PEDOPHILE." They freeze people that do this and REMOVED THE WHOLE GENERAL CHAT. Silly Adam, too cheap to FREEZE PEOPLE.

A site that's gay as shit and terrible! The only good thing is you can pimp out your profile and petpage and make it look hella sick but then you get frozen for retarded reasons so it sucks. Everyone on there is either A. illiterate and immature B. a total asswipe who thinks they have good music but in reality it's bad C. an old mofo who goes on there everyday and they're fucking rich and greedy and would cry if they got frozen or D. a troll. So it sucks ball sack go on there if you want to fight with people it's a constant battleground I swear to god! TNT (the Neopets team) are a bunch of assholes who freeze everyone with an opinion and an open mind and they get rich off of the little kids you are too young and innocent to understand how gay it is and get their parents to buy them this "Premium" shit which isn't even fucking worth it and it's fucking hundreds of dollars what the fuck! Fuck that shit! Oh and you can make ugly pets that used to be cute but then Viacom commercialized it so it's gay.

a little kiddy site where people go to make fun of people who actually do the uninteresting shit on it.

History:
Probably an ambition thought up with the help of recreational drugs and/or alchohol.

Uses:
Not much.
The boards are kinda fun though
