    My accounts (3 of em) were all lost because my email service (yabber.net) was closed down. One of them was deleted because of inactivity.

    Oh gosh yes I've been frozen. But I got really scared one time with my current main account. Turns out TNT was congradulating me for winning a World Challenge. One of my old frozen ones had about 10 million points on it xD

    I just got iced today.

    Lost all of my neopoints (3.4 mill), Darigan Brush, and some lab map pieces. I almost don't want to play anymore. :(

    Ouch. That REALLY sucks. ): I'd say, "Try, try again!" but then again I don't know how keen I'd be on starting back up again after losing that much.

    You should have either created some accounts on proxies and gave them some neopoints as back up or you should have bought an account off someone on here and you could have used that one. Whats the reason tnt froze you?

    I'm not entirely sure why I was frozen, but it was related to working on my neocrawl/spider project. I think there is a lot more to the cookie/auth system then meets the eye and that they can easily catch on to people trying to automate processes.

    could u people state your AB's refresh rate and settings and stuff ,so as to help us all reduce all the possibilities of freezing in the future?

    For the Igloo Autobuyer, I have it refresh between 5 and 10 seconds, and have it search for EXACT names (not containing.) and I usually leave it run overnight.

    For the main shop autobuyer, I have it set on "Advanced refresh settings", and I believe I use the default (which come already programmed into the aber..) And I generally leave it run in one shop till I get a RS and buy a couple items, then I switch shops.

    I never stay in one shop TOO long.

    They probably just assumed that if they iced you once on the same ip for ABing, and then saw the same type refresh patterns from you-- they would assume again that you were ABing, and ice you.

    They don't really care to look into things, they're freeze happy.
