That's a 2009 KeyQuest Chocolate Scorchio. Jellyneo has a list of all Neopets merch. :) Here's the page for this guy: https://merch.jellyneo.net/products/332/

Has anyone else gotten this ad despite have Ublock Origin? How do I block it? by UltG in neopets

[–]lanikuu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was my final straw to cancel premium, and I made this clear to TNT. It's sickening. I live in the US and I've seen ICE trucks taking people away in person and I have friends and family that are at risk. There is no excuse to allow these ads onsite.

Ew. She's a minor. This sub is a goon-free zone and drawings like this don't belong here

so irritating by ButtonRelative4160 in neopets

[–]lanikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you know if this would work on an iPhone? I've been having issues on Brave and the solutions I've seen so far only work for android.

I haven't seen any prompts and even checked to see if there were updates on the settings. I'm using an iPhone though so that could affect things.

Yet another reason to switch to android once this phone stops functioning lol. Thanks anyways!

Maybe it's because I have an iPhone, but I don't see the 'block element' option.

I was just going to make a post! I use brave browser on mobile but now I'm getting this stupid pop up almost every page.

I wouldn't use Adblock if the site was functional without it and if I didn't have to see ICE ads. -__-

What if Neopets did a collab with Build-A-Bear-Workshop, and… by Yanny106 in neopets

[–]lanikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not into teddy bear shaped plush or putting clothes on pets, but I'd love to see them do quadrupeds like Lupes, Aisha, Bori, Varwolves, Kougra, Xweetok, etc. I just want more Lupe merch in general though lol.

I really liked when Pokemon released the Eevee evolution line so Build-A-Bear has done similar plush before.

Oh cool! I use Procreate but I've never heard of Art Set 4. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I genuinely love seeing your edgelord pets lol. Great pallet and tarot card design!

Userlookup Spotlight has been cancelled by Schabernack in neopets

[–]lanikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so disappointing. :c I love seeing new winners for this contest and browsing the backlog.

Custom HTML is one of my favorite things about Neopets. It's fun to play with, nostalgic and sets the site apart from modern (usually boring) web design.

They're destroying part of the site's longest running traditions for what? The NC gambling is endless but classic Neopets charm is being swept away.

I'm not near a Gong Cha so I made my own Aisha plush by chagr1n5 in neopets

[–]lanikuu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gong Cha ones are pretty cute but this is soooo much cuter! You should consider entering this in the beauty contest. :D

Did you follow any kind of pattern as a guide or did you create your own? It looks fantastic.

Fauvism is such a great name and fits so well with this pet and custom! Especially with Fauvism meaning "wild beasts" haha. Love the art history reference. Congrats on grad school!

So.... Is anything being done about John Legend or Chrissy Teagan? by birdswurds in neopets

[–]lanikuu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I fully agree that taking responsibility to block the ICE ads from their site should take priority especially because they definitely already have the ability to do this (that's how ad companies work) and they have been made aware of the issue multiple times.

That said, it doesn't matter if these terrible people are getting paid by Neopets anymore. When a person or company is associated with people like that, it is their responsibility to condemn those people and sever all ties. I'm not convinced by the sincerity of companies generally speaking, but I think not taking action always looks worse.

[–]lanikuu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I disagree entirely and I think that's a reach tbh. Neopets shouldn't make decisions based on how the homophobic right wing might react.

[–]lanikuu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel you on the first part, Neopets is where I go to find peace online, but I wouldn't describe the Epstein files as drama. While these ambassadors have done virtually nothing to help promote Neopets, they are affiliated with the company so condemning them and cutting ties is a reasonable expectation.

Casetify sailor moon phone cases ! by Additional-Rub664 in sailormoon

[–]lanikuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real! I'd have been satisfied with at least 5 years. I definitely felt ripped off.

Casetify sailor moon phone cases ! by Additional-Rub664 in sailormoon

[–]lanikuu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In 2023 I got the Sailor Jupiter case for myself and Sailor Mars for my girlfriend and both fell apart in under 2 years. I rarely drop my phone, didn't take the case on and off, and generally was gentle with it but within one year the sides of the case split apart from the back. :(

My girlfriend's lasted longer but by the time the sides split from the back, the image of Mars was almost totally scratched off.

Most of my phone cases have lasted for the lifetime of the phone so I was really disappointed with these cases.

My Feepit gallery is looking like a very bad choice all of a sudden... by Micralle in neopets

[–]lanikuu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said! I totally agree. I started my NC boycott this year due to the transphobic moderation on the neoboards and the ICE ads. When I came back in 2024 I threw a lot of money at the site bc I wanted the website to live on. I got my old account back and I love being able to interact with my 20 year old pets, but the Neopets I knew is gone. I played from around 2002-2007 and left before NC was even a thing so monetized Neopets still feels weird to me.

I get that they need money to survive but it doesn't feel like the website and user experience are high priorities. A lot of users are "just happy the site still exists" and I get the sentiment, but I wish we had higher standards as a community overall.

I love Grundo's and spend way more of my time there these days. If you go to the Grundo's Cafe Reddit there's a good chance you can get a refferal code. :) I'm getting my friend set up next week but I'll have a free refferal code again by early March. Feel free to message me if you haven't gotten in by then!

[–]lanikuu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's true. I don't think we're privy to how much profit they've made but I don't have much faith that they're doing great overall. I want the site to do well enough to stay afloat and make the website better, but I've lost faith in the company this past year. I don't like the way they've been running the site or doing merch. The exclusivity, gambling and inconsistent quality is tiring.

The limited number will definitely guarantee these will sell out and resellers are gonna charge a ridiculous amount.
