I may or may not have created a side account that the name meant "blinking asshole" in a non-english language when I was 12.

4chan's /vg/ board used to have a general (recurring thread) about Neopets. I made a really low-effort black & white MS Paint drawing of my pet with a flexing bicep, anchor tattoo, smoking a cigar and riding a skateboard. I submitted it to the Beauty Contest with a gibberish blurb, and then asked the /vg/ users if they could vote for it as a joke. It looked a lot like this:

I ended up getting second place in one of the most popular pet categories. I also got some pretty nasty neomails for that, the sort where if I reported them they probably would have gotten frozen.

I stole one of my accounts from an ex. Got the password reset cause I knew so much of the history of it. It's probably a victimless crime since I don't think they play anymore, but still sometimes feel guilty haha.

When I was 9 or 10 years old, my elementary school friends ran a guild and invited me to play Neopets so that I could be in their guild. It was a really small guild and they had dreams of making it big and popular, so I also made a few extra accounts (alternate identities) and joined the guild on those accounts, too, and tried to pretend to be other people. They asked me in school if those new members were me on another account, and I was like "No", but yeah, they were all me
Also, when I was like 11 years old, I was on the Neoboards and saw somebody had the NeoTitle "I'm smart... you're not." and I got triggered and told them they were stupid and that I was smart... Looking back, I'm just like... yeah, I definitely wasn't (smart) -_-
Why was I so cringey lol

That reminds me that I had a screenie page and I had a couple where I was making fun of people who in hindsight were clearly being sarcastic and I'm so embarrassed for my past self. My commentary wasn't even funny.

Oh god, #relatable. I definitely had a "screenie page" of my own as well and it was absolute trash. It was in a time where there were several quality screenie pages around and I wanted to emulate them. I wasn't funny or clever or witty at all, but I advertised my page (probably on the avatar chat or something) and a few people had the kindness in their hearts to actually compliment my screenies

So my confession is the same.
My relative was a few years older and I wanted to "share" the account with them. I took over the account, and told them it was hacked.
They made a new account played for a little while, and then quit completely. Meanwhile their account is still active with me.

goddddd, same! There were a couple really good ones I'd love to find again, tbh (I think one had ongoing commentary from the perspective of a shoyru?) and see if they hold up to memory. But I definitely dreamed of being that respected and I just... missed the mark completely.
Also now I'm looking through my old photobucket and the entire thing is full of cringe.

As a kid, I vividly remember several "NFs" trying to run me off of the site so we could talk outside of Neo. Scary stuff growing up. I distinctively remember this one time a friend of mine managed to link me an offsite page that contained photos of her family (thank god that was it). Mind you, this was an elderly woman probably in her 70s. The page even gave you the option to sign a digital check-in book lol. The late 2000s truly were simpler times.
Anyways, several weeks later someone on the PC was kind enough to adopt out a Baby Cybunny to me and I was beyond ecstatic. iirc I was running on dial-up at that time and couldn't make NP easily. I didn't have transfers available and asked granny if she could hold the bun for me. She happily agreed, took the bun and then blocked me. Childhood me still holds the ugliest grudge. It scarred me so much that I never forgot the username and check in from time to time. The page claimed she was a devout Christian, that wasn't a very Christian move though.
