    Anyone know any signs that show if your about to get iced? when I was about to get iced like last week and I tried to go to shops the flash wouldnt load, you know where the progress bar is a line of stars... they would all turn yellow like it was loading...then it would restart

    Yea I don't think there's a way that TNT can control that users that are able to view Flash maps and those who arn't.

    They can't toggle that on and off.

    There really arn't any warning signs. TNT snoops around... Does their things, and BAM you're iced.

    No warning signs. Too bad though.

    Someone once told me the sign of a pre-freeze with neopets is just the act of signing up.

    Even if you're legit... you'll never know if your account is getting hacked or they randomly freeze you.

    I don't even think TNT knows why accounts are frozen sometimes. They truly are slaves to their technology.

    Hehe =D

    I can't speak from experience as I've never been frozen, but I should think *one* possible sign of a pre-freeze is if you notice a program misbehaved in a way that would make TNT suspicious. Like the ABer/AAer has been refreshing on a login screen for the last twenty minutes. D= I'd say, if you notice something like that.... move anything valuable. Just in case.

    I think that would be too late. Even if you are going
    to transfer your goods to anothe account... you risk the chance of being
    chain iced and that is even worser...

    Yeah, true. I guess it depends on what the item is/how valuable it is if you want to risk it. I'd probably transfer the best pet to another account - I don't think that is traceable as you could have just pounded, y'know? Maybe do some inequal trades of the really good items. :/

    Direscape, I mean that if you're using a program and you get logged out, your program will essentially be refreshing on the login page. TNT used this information to freeze a bunch of people last week. So if your program does this to you, there's good odds you'll be frozen for it. :/
