    I used to get a lot of random friend requests from newbies when I donated a lot of stuff to the Money Tree at once. I don't donate anymore so I guess that's why newbies don't care for me anymore :D

    Yes, sometimes. I never accept though. These kind of requests sort of freak me out. If they really wanted to be neofriends, shouldn't they at least chat and exchange a few neomails first?

    I wonder where people get my username in the first place. It's not like I do anything or go to the neoboards to make my username public for others to see, so how do these people get it. Random search?

    Usually I get them from being on the high score table, or having an expensive trade up.

    You can get them from being a Notable Neopet, donating to the Money Tree, having an expensive TP lot, being on a HST, chatting on the boards, big or expensive shop, etc...basically ways to get your username out there.

    I think they usually get my name from the msg boards whenever I lend items.

    I never accept unless they send some sort of mail.

    Besides, who really talks to their neofriends? I have a list of 15 that I don't remember ever talking to.

    I get them all the time. I give them the standard "I cannot accept NF requests outside of my guild because of some of our activities" It always amazes me when they argue. Really? Is that going to make me want to be your friend? :nope:

    I've only noticed getting those after being active on neoboards. Not that I bother discussing there too deeply, afterall they're mostly full of noobs and people wasting their time pissing off noobs :nope:

    Yeah me too... but they're all newbies xD
    They make the neofriend request and even don't neomail me their name or something else o_O Once I accepted all people... now I've deleted them and refuse random requests :nope:

    However since I don't post in the boards anymore I'm not receiving them!
