    If I'm creating a new account, when do I have to use the proxy? All the time, or only when I enter my email or something like that ...

    Because they're extremely slow, and I want to use them as little as possible.

    ALWAYS, if you send even the smallest amount of data from a different IP, all accounts accessed by either IP will become connected and chain iceable

    I'm not 100% sure if that's true, but definitely what you should do. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to login through the proxy, and then browse Neopets.com. And most likely they record IPs at login.

    I wish TNT wrote a guide about how they keep track of accounts and people and sales :p That would be so cool, if there was an insider on TNT who leaked all the information

    That would be nice.... any volunteers? xD

    Cause I'm sure they keep tabs on us, we should at least return the favor ;).

    That'd be fun, but I live half a continent too far away, and I'm underaged. =P

    But yes, every IP you access an account on is traceable. My laptop, too, is amazingly slow if I proxy it...hmm, I wish I could just get a new laptop (this one's getting old now, anyways =P) and just only do legit stuff on that laptop.

    Often though it might not be the computer, but the proxy. Remember that!

    Every computer has a unique ID as well.
