    ... I used to play games for hours as my only means of income..
    ... I'd spin the wheel of excitement everyday believing somehow that it would be my big break...
    ... the rainbow fountain was still open and public but Neopets never updated my parental permission forms (you had to be over 13, I made my mom literally fax them permission forms, but they never updated my account :'()...
    ...I thought I was getting rich when I had saved up a few thousand neopoints...
    ... UC pets were still standard and GLORIOUS...
    ... There was no NC mall section, and Neopets was still completely free and moral hahah...
    Oh, memories.

    ... I always had bad petnames
    ... I always kept my pets happy
    ... I eventually resorted to keeping them in a hotel with the lowest pay settings to keep them happy and fed (else I would feel bad)
    ... I didnt know what RSing was until a year before I quit
    ... I won the beauty contest once with a poorly in Paint drawn picture of my techo. Im still amazed.

    When you played with your pet and it said "But all the other pets have more toys than me" I thought that meant that I HAD to buy them more toys xD

    ... when I screamed like a girl after I won the 20k prize in Wheel of Excitement
    ... when me and my friends thought we were so cool that we knew where the hidden tower was (and thought everyone else didn't) LOL
    ... when you could raise your pet's max HP by eating a bugged mushroom from the Apothecary :p
    ... when the Mutant Chia BD Challenger looked like a badly drawn version of Punchbag Bob

    My old cheating method was to refer myself and creative other accounts on different computers and do all the dailies lol.
    I also cared for my pets a lot rather then just dumping them in the neolodge for 31 days.

    ...When I hit 100k I thought I was rich
    ...I bought TONS of books for my neopet to read
    ...Thought paintbrushes where the most expensive item in the game (had no clue about morphing potions x3)
    ...Didn't know about neopet cheats (AB, SS, etc.)
