I was thinking about it today and I wondered if anyone has ever heard of or seen a history of significant events in Neopets. I thought it might be cool to compile a history of stuff like majal_kita's account getting hacked and pounded (a screenie of that just to see how much it would cost would be sweet and I think there was one floating around), dupe day, when the neoboards got hijacked by some hacker kid, someone hacked a mod account and screenied munsterpoos safety deposit box, the mass hysteria of the bonju avvie, inflation attempts (gone wrong), unique bd items given out after wars, maybe even the incredibly rare restocks (emerald coin) who got it etc... A current example would be the user that put up a M-skull for really low and eventually who wins it would be interesting (at least to me). There are actually a ton of things that've happened in Neopet's history that newer players may have never heard about and older players might have missed that could make interesting reading. Which is why I reckon this could be a good idea. I remember seeing something similar to what I'm talking about somewhere, but regardless I reckon this could be a nice pet project for people on Neofriends to do doing some investigative reporting and compiling data/screenies combine it all wiki style and get someone to do a nice write up to make it a nice bit of reading. Any thoughts?
I like this idea... A lot of work involved. Something I won't have time to do. I'd take part but couldn't do it all
Yep. This sounds like an excellent idea. Good luck finding people willing to do the research! I'd support it.
Great idea! I would help, but unfortunately I've been on and off neo for the last ten or so years, so I'm not sure as to what things should be put in this wiki. But if someone compiles a list of all the events, I'll help scavaging the internets for screenies and related pictures.
This seems like an amazing idea, but I don't have too much knowledge, but I'd be willing to put in the research.
04/04/04 you could request anyones pw in the pw request box somewhere around 2 years ago mspp went through auctions finished at 7.8 mil to charizardfan also between 1 year-2 years ago xero hacked neopets and had access to many high end users accounts like munsterpoos around 4 years ago another mskull went through auctions with only 2 bids, seungyung_yoo won it for 230k obviously the sap and ap sap going to marymao, ap going to raymac14 i believe there was another mskull that went for 20 mil before the seungyung_yoo one june-july of last year was mass sql injection problem that lead to many users getting hacked and frozen for their protection, many still never got accounts back the screenies of the mod account are up somewhere, i know ive seen them before theres a bunch more but this is off the top of my head
That's some interesting facts. Maybe, start this by sorting it into different categories (eg. Player related, Bug/hax, 'Legit' interesting facts, etc..). Also what forum category would something like this fit? would it be in "Neopets Information?"
