    whoah, too long ago xO
    it must've been in 2001 or something when I first heard of neopets o0 it was someone from my class who found it and played it at school and suddenly everyone were playing it xD I think I'm the only one who still "plays" it (I don't really play anymore..)

    Use to play years ago, but then quit. Then I picked it back up since I saw my little brother playing it again. So since I've joined the forums I've been playing again. And still playing after I don't know how many accounts got iced lol

    7 years for me haha. But, I quit so many times it's not even funny. I've probably only played for a grand total of about 3-4 years MAXIMUM.

    I started playing after the girl that I liked SOOO much moved (Back in 5th grade, and I was like 10).

    Then I actually found out that she started playing aswell, and we played together for a while. Gradually, we both stopped playing... Then one day out of nowhere, about 5 years later, she moves back haha. Sweet deal xD

    But she's a bitch now =]

    I remember exactly how and when I started neo. XD

    It was September 2001, a little after 9/11. I was in fifth grade in my computer class and my teacher let us go on the internet to basically get our minds off of what had happened and because there were hardly any kids in class. lol We were little kids, we were just excited to use the internet and not have to play that stupid dinosaur egg game. :D

    So she showed me the site and I have been addicted ever sense. =/

    She told us not to use our real birthdates so I blame her for loosing my first account. lol

    I can remember back to the months to when neopets first began, and there was so little on the site. The images were all shoddily drawn, and almost no games....ah good times :p. At that time I was just learning to go on the internet, and I loved gaming so I was always looking for gaming sites Dx. Thus stumbling unto neopets, never thought it would get this big :p.

    I totally agree with you. For YEARS of my childhood I was obsessed with Neo. Then I got addicted to FPS, and slowly stopped playing. But once I realized I could SELL my NP for real money, I got right back into it :D
