I used to be among the ranks of those kids that spent hours every day playing the online game Neopets. It was a great world where you could starve and neglect your pet, but it would never actually die. Aside from a highly-modded forums, Neopets also offered the weekly Neopian Times, a digital neopets newspaper, once a week to its online community. The best/worst part of the Neopian Times has to be the comic section, full of neopets inside jokes that never got to the "joke" part. Here are a few examples of comics that made it in: I swear the quality of these were better when I was a kid, but it's probably always been this lovely and I didn't realize it back then. Just like Family Circus.

To the surprise of no-one, I played Neopets. That's actually making me nostalgic as gently caress.

i saw a dead skunk on the way home. its entrails laid on the road, roasting in the heat. the smell was a putrid stink, carried by the the humid air and summer sun. i wondered for a brief moment if it would have stunk more alive, or dead.

Neopets were cool as hell and I'm glad it's still around.

I stole someone's art, horribly edited it in MS Paint and put song lyrics on it for one of the Neopets art contests back in like 2000. The original artist messaged me about it and 13 year old me freaked out a bit at the legal threat of someone who was probably no older than I was.

I used to Roleplay on their forums and the RPing there was 10 years old role playing as teenagers at parties, including some hot making out action. Either that or it was people pretending to be wolves.

Either that or it was people pretending to be wolves. I literally just spent all my time hoarding Brain Tree and Snowager items. I was pretty rich on that game actually, but mostly from using refreshers running all night to collect codestones for resale

a bunch of kids and myself used to play it in the library right next to our school in grade 7 during lunch I liked that worm game where you ate orbs with your worm and it gave you something (Neo cash?) if you got a big worm

yeah, and there were some utilities you could download to play some of the games on the site automatically my guild also cornered the market on juppies for a while, driving up the price (since you needed them to complete one of the faerie quests I think?) we were loving assholes

our guild was a bad boys guild. except we were girls. but our secret mission was to exact our revenge on hrobi for receiving such obvious preferential treatment (she had FIVE neopets??/ wtf)

I was in a few avatar collecting guilds and got frozen a multiple times for trading account information with guild members so we could play games on each other's accounts.

I remember feeling morally conflicted over whether or not it was okay for me to spin those wheels across Neopia or whether that was considered "gambling" and wrong for me to do
