richrising: rad-roach: bogleech: terraterracotta: Now the entire site is gone, well then. For people who haven’t paid attention to poor old neopets in a year or more, the following things have happened:-They got bought by Jumpstart, a company previously known just for educational preschool computer games-Jumpstart fired like 99% of the staff including all the veteran creators and writers-Moderation broke down and the site became a troll apocalypse-The content filters broke as well with their original programmers gone, so the site was flooded with new pets named things like “COCKLICKER” AND “DICKFUCKPUSSY”Now they’ve panicked and shut it all down whoopsI worked so hard on this damn site when I was a teenager. It was always terrible and not very fun but I am still pretty amused, and a little sad, to see something that’s been around this long finally crumble.Who wants to raise money to buy it? Put me in charge of new pet design, everyone will totally love my ideas I swear Real talk someone get a kickstarter going to buy this site. Don’t worry if you’ve got exactly zero business experience. At this point three monkeys with an old Atari computer would be an improvement over Jumpstart. #real talk if a kickstarter buys neopets i will go back in a heartbeat -(via @dashboardconfessional/peryite-fr)SAME -- source link
