Okay I was one of the millions of kids that had an account on there at some point, and sometimes it is tempting to get on there for the sake of the old times. well I can't, cause guess what?
Well first warning I got did make some sense cause I tried to link to my freewebs page (I was like 10.) and they are trying to stop spam and porn sites cause you know kids site and everything.
But then... there was a board about how GOD HATES GAY PEOPLE. well of course I had to butt in cause how the hell do we know whether he does or not? Oh yeah bible. Well god himself didn't really write it did he? Wasn't it a bunch of people who interpreted whatever jesus said in their own way? You know what I'll stop now cause I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore, but I do know that not everyone on that board got banned that should have, and that was really stupid that they had this law about not talking about it. I mean these are issues people discuss. The worst thing someone can do in a forum is go on a swearing frenzy and get frozen. BIG WOOP. Then why go to this extent?
So they freeze people when they start talking about god and gay people, but didn't do shit to this person that randomly started terrorizing me cause of the country it said I was from. The god hating gays was an open discussion and people did get kinda mad but it wasn't anything too crazy. But when someone actually openly assaults they didn't do anything. Why? Oh yeah cause suddenly people discussing current events is an emergency while people doing personal attacks is no big deal. And they didn't give warnings because people were hating gays. They gave warnings cause you are NOT supposed to talk about anything religious! WOW.
And fianlly I got frozen for saying
"What the freak." Oh yeah cause that totally sounds like I'm hating on someone calling them a freak cause they have some dumbass machine monitoring this I'm sure cause that wasn't even in terrible context. I was talking about something weird that happened and said What the freak. SERIOUSLY. So they freeze me nearly right away because of THAT? But don't do anything about the person that was sending me all these hate messages?
And on top of that the whole thing is going down the toilet. Even though it's similar to my newfound passion gaia with all the marketing and stuff, but okay. Gaia has soooo much more stuff than neopets. You can actually do things on there while on neopets you pay them with real money for pretend stuff and dressing up your pet. All you do is go page to page collecting stuff you can't even do anything is. On gaia at least they have towns and that zOMG MMO or something. Where you can actually do stuff. I'd say it's kind of worth it.
Then again probably there are people that think neopets is wroth it, but that's such a conservative site!
I get it yeah there are 10 year olds on there and 9 year olds so they don't want them to be exposed to shit people say about religion and what not and the word "freak"
WELL NEWSFLASH.IT WILL HAPPEN ANYWAYS.
IT WILL NOT SCAR THEM.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I really would go back to neopets for a sake of the good old days in 6th grade, but I don't know if my views on it are gonna change. Yeah some games were fun and collecting thumbnails of squirrel things dressed up in drag and some sort of other stuff you can't do shit with was fun. But it's just such a huge disappointment. The site is 40% ads on every page! I guess every company that starts out nice and small gets ugly and big. If only they could hide their big ugliness like Gaia!
