Back in the day (gamingutter days) one of our staff was in contact with someone from the neo staff and she claimed he unfroze her account.
He wanted information on some people on our forum.
She claims that she didn't snitch and her account remained unfrozen, but to be quite honest I don't believe that her hands were clean.
Anyway, I saw her account and it was indeed unfrozen.. I just highly doubt that they wouldn't refreeze in retaliation for keeping quiet.
There wasn't a mass take down of our users or anything that I remember, not quite sure what information they were after exactly.
This was around the time when our admin acquired a massive hash list for neopet users and was among the first to start selling and releasing them so maybe they were trying go after him?
Like I said, I'm not sure what they were after. If it was about our admin, I don't know why they would go through our staff as a vessel and not go through a more public means like a criminal investigation.
Or you know, she could have been lying about the whole thing. Like I said, I don't really know the whole story.
All I know for fact is she was frozen for blatant cheating, and got unfrozen mysteriously.
This isn't always true. I admitted to taking an UC pet from an inactive account once years ago, and Tony returned everything but the pet. I had gotten the pet from an unreg email. Ironically enough, he put the pet back on the old account that I still had access to... so I got both accounts and the pet back. I later traded the pet, and it's still around, actually UFT on the PC right now
Huh this board is really interesting. I'll use this if I get frozen lmao.
Tony once got my account back from a 6+ year freezing by buying/selling NP (which I didn't) but I had like 20 screenshoots, all the passwords/bday info and access to the original email.
I've only ever been frozen once. And it was for a stupid reason.
Back in the old days if you were scammed, you could go on the
boards and warn others about it. I got frozen for warning people
and TNT told me that "I" was the one who was scamming. Which I
wasn't. So after that ass backward answer, I just started over.
There was nothing impressive on my first account anyway, except
for a pets name I liked. Which I got to have back after the
account was purged.
