    I'll start..

    -grundos gym was pretty cool when I was a noob at making NP xD
    -the old side bar was awesome.. I still can't stand the links at the top of the page :(
    -Deckswabber. Man.. that game was the shit! (I think you could get dubloons from it?)
    -Before Viacom took over, and TNT use to add worthwhile content to the site
    -item's retiring from the HT, along with new weapons / cove items being released (this is the way it should be, plus it would bring some more diversity into the BD)

    Well.. that's about it.. I'm sure there's some stuff that I left out tho ;|

    ooo, I remember grundos gym! It was so hard back then for me lol, could never keep my mouse between the bars...
    I kinda just miss being naive about everything, not understanding what super rare and ultra rare meant lol
    I miss the wars =[

    Anyone remember when your petpets could come and help you out? Man that was epic.. equivalent of critical hits on other games xD

    Yup.. don't remember the exact increase in dmg.. i think it was somewhere around 150-200%? It was really epic tho.. like can you imagine dual fss both hitting and then your petpet boosting the dmg by another 50%? x___x

    Yea.. the petpet dome was stupid :S Mine always got owned too o.o

    I remember about a year after I started, there was massive amounts of ppl on the bd chat asking for a war. To much surprise, TNT actually listened to ppl back then, and followed up with the meridell war. In fact, they even acknowledged it in the news that there would be one due to popular demand. And i think around a half year later, they did Meridel V Darigan 2. Those were the good ol' days :( I wish I could find my screenie of me getting owned by a 100k hp lord darigan xDDD

    I don't mind the NC mall so much. I mean neo is just trying to make their own little profit i guess. Only thing is they focus too much on it now and don't release much other content :( Ads are pretty annoying but those can be blocked i guess. converted pets look too cutsy now.. like, mutant pets were pretty nasty looking back in the day, which was pretty cool B)

    "Nice people on boards"

    couldn't agree more. now bd chat is full of trolls and idiots -___-

    I hate the stupid flash worlds now. They could have at least left the HTML option on.. bleh

    I agree 100% with those two!! I miss the individuality of the old drawings. I also miss the set up of the old SW.. snipes were so much easier back then when people didn't have separate galleries >:)

    I miss everything about the old Neopets ! When items were cheap, and paint brushes were also dirt cheap. :) I miss when the people were actually MATURE, and the old neopets games. :) What about when your Neopets still had that little blue and yellow circle around it? Lol.

    I remember when baby pbs were like 200k : D
    And the nc mall just annoy me because imo it's pretty expensive o.o and why not just make them for nps only?

    I miss the old BC times, when you could see the number of votes you had through the week, and the most deciding part was the first few seconds when you had to get all your friends vote for you so you'd be on top first and that would self-advertise it for the rest of the week, and you were on top of the world if you were there.

    I miss my old neo friends, I miss the neo artists who first inspired me to draw and have left the site long ago.

    Ha! Well, I absolutely HATE customizable pets. I miss the old poses and the uniqueness of each pet. :(

    But, what I miss the most is new Neohome pieces being made for the ACTUAL Neohome, not this stupid new thing.

    Yeah, I miss the simplicity of things.

    I don't so much mind the "new" Neopets layout, but I did like the old one better.

    Oh yeah. Those to. :nope:

    It is absolutely ridiculous how much Neopets activities revolve around the NC Mall.

    And thank God for that person that has a pet page that taught me how to remove ads.

    There are still a few pesky ads that show up once in a while though. -_-

    And I HATE that Nickelodeon bar.

    You know..I never thought i'd miss the now "UC" pets so much. Not because they are worth "a lot" now a days. It's just that...it looked so nice, and I didn't even know. Now we have uglier pets, and everything looked so much better. The redrawing made "royals" look like "peons" -.-
