    I used to hate going to the library, cuz all the books I checked out just stayed in a pile for 3 weeks every time. Then I got addicted to Neopets, and of course came the cheating part. Later I would tell my parents to take me to the library every weekend and to leave me there for like 4-6 hours because I was "reading." Of course I was just roaming around the kids section waiting for kids to leave their computers and checking to see if they didn't log off properly. Back in 2000-2007 the site's login was so basic, and sometimes passwords are saved automatically, that it wasn't hard poaching like 2-3 accounts a day. OF course I felt bad, but hey it's our inherent nature you know. But then one day, I must have gotten up from the computer to actually hunt for a book for English class or something, then parents came while I was doing the self-service check-out and then we left. It wasn't until I logged on that evening at home did I realize that I had closed the browser in the library, but not logged off and my account was wiped clean. That's Karma!

    I used to lend avatar items, including FQD and ZDAP when it was still worth millions. Most people returned it, but I was more lenient one day on my vetting process and lent it to a scammer who immediately stole it and self-froze... I never got it back, even after reporting to TNT. I started cheating not long after lol.

    This is fairly tame but when I first started playing I was quite young. My friend and I discovered it and then he told me that we could battle. We didn't realise you had to equip weapons and it literally took us weeks to figure out that you needed to use weapons. He discovered it before me and after like 10 withdrawn fights he defeated me, the little sneak!

    When I was like 8 I made my first account with my real birthday, so I wasn't able to use the neoboards and stuff, so eventually I made a new account and I couldn't figure out how to transfer my things to my new account, so I just put allllll my items in my shop for 1 np and logged out, logged back into my new account and went to go buy everything back. but my dial up internet was horrible and it took me like five minutes to do it so by the time I got there, all my stuff was gone.

    Getting my two original accounts frozen due to greed back in 2003 and 2009. First acct has since been purged and I cant remember the original email for the second acct.

    I dumped my dual G-Swords and convinced my brother to dump his dual G-Swords about a week before they retired.

    Was scammed out of my first legit account and had to create a new one missing out on participating on the maraquan plot. Still makes me sad to this day.

    Getting all of my old accounts frozen because I liked to push the limits of the word filters

    Posting to the PC with an UC royal on a shell account. I didn't make a board, was just trying to integrate, but I guess the account wasn't good enough though I tried to spruce it up. Some sneak neomailed me and froze me. Was an expensive and special UC and I was heartbroken.

    The other big one for me is that with my first ever Neopets account, I signed up as under-13. I was eight and I remember deliberating and having a severe moral debate with myself about whether it was okay to lie or not or how likely it was that I'd get caught by my parents... I decided to play it safe. Then years later when I came back, I remembered the username *and* I had original email access...but I couldn't get in, because apparently for under-13 accounts TNT doesn't save the email. -_- Wish I'd known about CK before the first purge, I wonder if I'd have been able to save it?

    *~a ghost in the sunlight~*

    As a kid I really wanted to paint my Cybunny royal, but ofc I was poor and I couldn't afford the paint brush.
    So I found a site where you had to send an e-mail with your neo username and password to receive NPs. Obviously it was a scam and I cried all the week because they took everything from my acc.

    Several years later I've managed to get an RG Cybunny somehow, and then the conversion happened. Someone neomailed me offering their Draik for my UC RG Bunny and of course I've accepted the offer x.x my biggest regret.
