    In all reality, we could be looking at the biggest troll TNT ever threw in the salad guys..

    They might have fixed things and looking to create a huge "Fuck you" to the community at large that's bashed them for the past decade for being inept coding and software designers...

    I reallly enjoyed the chat in the BD chat where we told TNt there was zero excuse for their shitty work ethic, when their site bred MILLIONS of coders more adept at their job than them.

    One person said, "you wouldn't have to patch your games, and site, so much if you would do it right the first time"

    "hire the hackers...they obviously know better than any one of you Meepits" <--favourite

    Please don't assume or speculate anything. Just wait and see what happens.

    Concerned and worried are two different words......................

    I did not say we should be worried.

    I did not say worried, I said concerned. Worried implies panic. No need for that. I don�t want to put any words in Joe and Odd�s mouth.

    Concerned is correct. No one knows what exactly this change means, yet. I want to re-iterate we all know the risk of using scripts and bots. To keep our accounts safe, the smartest thing to do at the moment is to not use them until more information can be gathered what the server change entails on the backend.

    I don't really feel there is THAT much cause for concern..especially when the coders are set on just looking at the 0s and 1s once its all said and done

    ^ Yeah I agree.

    I figure TNT has been busy with plenty other things than punishing cHeAtErS lately. Like the whole mobile app and all that- I figure the server changing stuff has something to do with that.

    You think you want ice cream. So you eat it. And then it's gone. But then you have a stomach ache. What you really want is a bowl of ice cream, that's never empty, and a stomach, that's never full. Well guess what. Life is a bowl that's never empty, and your spirit is a stomach that's never full. You got watcha want. LIFE

    We don't really know yet what's going on or how effective this Cloudflare will be at picking up whether or not we're using scripts and bots.

    I feel like the best thing to do here is just to wait it out, guys. Give everyone the time to figure out what's going on and how "bad" it is. It's up to our own discretion to decide to bot on accounts or not. Personally, I'm gonna refrain from botting until we have more information.

    Speculation isn't gonna help here. Waiting is.

    Current TNT is AWFUL at communication. This is like being in a toxic relationship; we're gluttons for the punishment and just keep coming back for more LOL.

    How terrible would it have been for them to make some kind of announcement.
    "We're changing servers, you might notice weird shit going on, we're working on it."

    I'm ranting now, but it goes along the same lines as:
    TNT: "Enter this contest VIA twitter or Facebook"
    Me: "Mentions twitter or Facebook on Neopets"
    TNT: Frozen bc you can't mention those awful words.

    They need to clean up and get it together in general...

    I just don't understand why they are breaking their website with these changes. Extremely unprofessional, especially when they could be testing these changes on a test/development server before going live. These are standard practices.

    At the same time, most of our programmers are still here so updates can be made. No one knows if this is entirely to track potential cheaters, which is not a great method to be using.

    On the bright side, clraik is getting more traffic because the main game is messy at the moment.

    ^ Seriously. Would have been super easy to throw up even a minor message about changes and the site will be crap for however long.

    Surely they aren't getting any new users, we're all sentimental nostalgic adults and even if they were getting new young children users on the site, those kids are all over the tik toks and the grams and twitters anyways No need to censor it.

    I couldn't post something on neopets yesterday because I was talking about dough balls and BALLS is profanity.

    You think you want ice cream. So you eat it. And then it's gone. But then you have a stomach ache. What you really want is a bowl of ice cream, that's never empty, and a stomach, that's never full. Well guess what. Life is a bowl that's never empty, and your spirit is a stomach that's never full.
