thank you everyone for the amazing responses! i had been doing finals for 30 hours and checking back on this thread kept me sane in the last stretch hahahah
a couple other things i remembered while rereading everyone's posts were those pages for adopting pets for your shop (example gifs in spoiler), "Something has happened! I'm a fire faerie. Which faerie are you?"-type fake random event-style links to quizzes (you still see these sometimes in old shops, (you need an account to see links) one i went and found in my friend's abandoned shop), and those fake 1NP baby pb shop listings that eventually got banned by neo for...obvious reasons
as for neo fansites, i specifically remember cloudneo as i said in the op, they had animated faerie snowglobes and stuff that i loved. for a long time i wasn't allowed to go on any website that wasn't neo, so going on cloudneo was super scandalous for me! i think there was also a site called nothinbut.net that some stuff for neo that i also used, like graphics/possibly html help? EDIT: hold up i just got blasted with a memory of someone's HMTL petpage i constantly used, like w8sk8rchick or something. throwing that out as well in case it sound familiar to anyone else! i learned <marquee> from there lol.
@(you need an account to see links) lilangel is totally right! her art is still fantastic but too bad it's got all those photoshop watermarks now x( and geez, those UCs haha. also ommmmmgggg the chokato page, you just unlocked ancient memories in me, im pretty sure that thing kept me entertained for HOURS....i feel like there was also a similar toast page? with like the number of butters on it increasing?
@(you need an account to see links) i loooved ghostkomorichu's comics as well! i remember their guide on how they did them, how they originally drew everything on paper and then scanned/finished in photoshop which i didn't even realize was an option until then lol! i had a lot of other regular comics i loved, like pint-sized, the one about the shadow lupe and yellow zafara and the one about the baby lupe and gelert(?) (you need an account to see links) ghostkomorichu's dA, but just as a warning they draw a ton of tickling art they actually made a side account for that so i guess the main one is fine now! i remember the last time i checked their main was flooded with it to the point i didn't want to follow hahahah. i def don't read the nt anymore except extremely rarely, i miss all the old regular strips. also (this response is getting long forgive me) what was special about the avatar.starried font tool? i never used the site myself but it sounds like everyone loved it!
@(you need an account to see links) here you are! hopefully it's alright to send as a download file, idk how else to do it i never had the guts to join the guilds of people i admired, i just stalked from afar lol. what kind of stuff went on in there?
once again thank you for all the responses so far, i love hearing everyone's memories i am a super nostalgic person, it drives me crazy that i'll never be able to see so much of this stuff again! at least we can all still talk about it hahah

there's also more neo stuff (some glitter) on (you need an account to see links), including this rainbow uni which might be similar to what you're talking about?
