i mean, there are some people who claim to be wholly legit and are just really, really good at restocking
and i have some friends that i know for sure are legit
and are just really freaking good at neopets
but more often than not...it takes a little bit of help xD
just be careful not to overdo it because that's what seems to get people in trouble occasionally... blah
and yeah, hahaha, finding out that i had friends on here, too, was pretty fabulous
it was like "...so...um...hi..."
but then it was all good because we had this mutual understanding
like a little secret we keep from the rest of neopia
It really would be amazing to be entirely "legit" on Neopets. I think about that sometimes, I really do. The only thing is, after a while, being too "legit" for too long, kinda makes anyone look a bit, well, peculiar. I mean... I really can and do (at times) admire them. The fortitude, the patience, the restraint, the amazing control and ability to delay all things "gratification." It's cool- for a while. But then, I wonder... Do I really want to be a Neo-virgin for ever? After a while, I think that even the most pure and honorable of acts and intentions, begin to seem as though one is clutching much too tightly to that once blind and beautiful innocence of the past. For example- At 18 someone tells me that they're a virgin, I think to myself- WOW! Good for you!Now... That same person tells me the same at 40? Erm... I'm going to start wondering what's wrong. Seriously, I would try to not think like that but, well... I would. Yes. I would and even if that makes me a bad, bad, terrible person... I still would.
However, it is really -all- a game, though. Thankfully, for those of us who grow weary of repeatedly hitting the Kass, chasing the endless Meercas, stinging the stowaway, etc., there exists this- This wonderful secret and the multitude of other "games" that entice, intrigue, and amuse. If this part of "Neopia" didn't exist, neither would the other. Searching for weaknesses, discovering angles, and evaluating risks... It's all just the flip side of the same game. Just more thrilling; just more real. Jeez. I really ought to ramble on like this for my petpet(petpetpet?) look-up page. lol! That would be soooome spotlight page. hehe No worries about overdoing much on this side of the monitor. I'm in awe of those who possess the ability to manipulate codes like poets with words. Sadly, I lack the even the most basic skills in this area. I'm more of a Neopian "test pilot" for all on this site. If my account isn't frozen after running my attempting to run these program things... The programs are virtually fool proof (because I have started/stopped, logged in/out, remembered/forgotten, turned it off/on, the right way/wrong way... You name it!) And if my account still exists... I'm rather certain that those accounts which aren't subjected to my kind of computer craziness- are looking crystal clean and legit, if only by comparison. It's humbling to know that I will be contributing to this site; if only in that way.

Hello, Alexander!Thank you for the welcome. It is so very nice to meet you, as well!
BTW- I wasn't expecting your avatar! LOL! Nothing says, "That was funny!" like my cleaning Dr. Pepper off of my monitor!
I think it'd be a great deal for the emoticons, alone! Add all the other perks, and I have no doubt that it's worthwhile and a bargain! 
(<--Yeh... I wasnt joking about those emoticons lol)
