But didn't Snarkie say on the boards earlier that Jumpstart knows that neos audience is a lot older and that's why they bought it or something?
I'm excited about this.
I felt that Viacom is what made certain parts of neopets suck balls.

I wonder if the freeze rate will drop while they switch everything over...

@(you need an account to see links) Yeah she did, that's precisely why I'm excited!

I agree with this. From what I've seen, the amount of freezing going on these days on neo has gotten to be ridiculous. Hopefully now that they are no longer going to be under Nick, this will stop.
My theory is that maybe since Jumpstart is going to *hopefully* be aiming towards the older audience that neo has that maybe some of the rules will either be changed or removed completely, that way users don't have to be as paranoid or feel like they're walking on eggshells while they're trying to do something completely harmless or say something completely harmless.
On a side note, I hope neo changes their filters regarding LGBT stuff.

Yeah I hope it becomes more like gaia. You can cuss and use all kinds of LGBT themes and such. I don't think kids even play neo and if they do they probably aren't as innocent as neo would think. Kids are making very adult decisions and using adult language at very young ages now. Why censor them from something they already do?

Did anyone else happen to see this?
Copy and pasted from the help section of neopets.What is happening to The Neopets Team?
Not much. For the most part, the team you know and (hopefully) love isn't going anywhere. (We love you, too, by the way.) We'll continue to make weird items and crazy stories and try our best to keep you entertained. We're just part of JumpStart now, and they're Neopians, too.
Mr. Insane also wants to assure you that "the Meepits can be electrostatically confined to the ∯W sigma plane", whatever that means.
i've heard jumpstart's customer service is incredible, so maybe it's a good thing?
maybe they'll actually put some time and effort into getting peoples accounts back, lol
my guess is they're trying to make a ~*~new name~*~ for themselves and not be known for making games for people ages 5-10
that's just what i'm thinking anyway
