    I was told when i'm abing to surf neopets at the same time to lower my chances of being froze. What about playing games at the same time as abing. Think that would be ok or no?

    no...they'll see that you're refreshing at one spot whilst browsing somewhere else... it would be an obvious tell to them

    So I take it I should just turn the aber on and leave well enought alone and let it do its stuff..... i have to say I'm a bit surprised I was told by a staff member it would lower my chances of being froze.

    OK thank you

    Yeah it's better to just let it do it's thing while you are doing something else like watching TV. Doing multiple things will kinda widen their eyes on saying it's an aber. If they see it, instantly frozen, my friend got frozen for being on his account while his friend was getting him an avatar :p.

    do they actually just watch you or do they only keep track of those "suspicious" "flagged" people?

    They don't individually watch anyone(they don't have enough people for that)... but that doesn't mean they haven't programmed their sofftware to watch for suspicious behavior... ie being in 2 places at the exact same time.

    Each time you do something you're making a request on their server and that's accompanied by your ip. It doesn't take rocket science to see you're doing two things... worse... same user on two separate IP's.

    Personally... I'd try to look as much like a person when ab'ing... ie doing things the way people would normally do it.

    No matter what you do... there's always the chance you'll be frozen anyway... so take precautions even there, and don't put all your (n)eggs in one basket

    Hope this helps
