    Longtime lurker saying hullo!

    Hi there! I'm a long term lurker... finally deciding to post. I returned to Neopets due to quarantine / cabin fever earlier this month after a 6 year hiatus. I started Neopets in the early 2000s, quit for a long time, played for a few months in 2012 or so, and just returned recently. I've always been a developer and designer; I got into programming and graphic design during my childhood largely because of Neopets I've also been binging a lot of Pokemon Nuzlocke content on Youtube while lurking... :3

    Anyways, it's nice to meet everyone!

    Welcome to CK! A lot of people have mentioned that the pandemic is what brought them back to Neo recently (including myself). Maybe there will be a resurgence of the site, hah. Hope to see you around!

    I haven't done much graphic design since school either. Started my career in finance, but now a developer turned product manager in startup land - so I guess some things I picked up from old Neopets days stuck!

    My best friend inspired me to get back into it; she's killing time before residency match and started playing Neogames to distract herself. Hope to see you around as well!
