Also, I've been seeing references to neopets cryptoquest and from googling it looks like it was released when I had some busy education stuff going on and wasn't paying close attention to neopets so either I missed it entirely or it was wiped from my memory.

nfts from an artists perspective on why i dont support them.
- nfts are being sold mostly in ethereum and crypto spaces and you mostly use crypto to buy nfts. the bigger argument would be crypto yes but its why they are in the same discussion. (i personally dont care for cryptos env impacts, that being said im sure nfts being sold this way in the future maybe handled better but for now its not and im staying away and this is my own choice.)
- Crypto adds more steps and money to be invested before you can even see any profit. so you already need money to start and benefits 0 small artists who need to get into crypto to get into nfts. to get into nfts when you can just sell your art normally on your social spaces and use regular dmca. most of the nft gold rush only benefited already established in the industry white male artists, its doing 0 for smaller artists.
-nfts are extremely hard to scrub art theft. its constantly being done and i'm seeing my piers art stolen CONSTANTLY this way and its been a nightmare for them requesting take downs and people making money off of shit that isn't theres. relating this for neopets, what is the point of buying this neopets NFT when it has 0 to do with the actual game or your account and its just a randomized image its a literal nft waste of space.
-good luck if someone wants to sell your nudes.
im sure someone can word my arguments and find better sources than my peanut brain but this is already drained me

No announcement as of yet but Jumpstart/neopets is mentioned as a part of the team (you need an account to see links) and (you need an account to see links)
and there is a quote from the CEO of Jumpstart (you need an account to see links)
Been lurking the discord too for more news but nothing share worthy as of yet.
I'd still be careful of course but it seems pretty official
Thank you to carrottea for the lovely userbar
Thank you everyone who explained what these are. I've vaguely heard of them before, but since they aren't common where I live (and I barely visit more than 5 of the same sites lol), I didn't truly know what they were and how bad they are.
If anyone can answer, is there a specific group or demographic that this kind of service/item caters to? I'm pretty sure no one on Neo would want this so why introduce it...

They just want our money. Its been obvious for a while
Checked the registrars of various Neopets domains vs the domain of this project, still sketchy.
Anyone else knows other domains owned by Neopets that we can check?
Not saying that this is fake, but I'm not trusting this till official confirmation.
Anyone can create a Medium account, and buy a domain.
Anyone can put out a press release too.

I mean, who would put this much effort into faking all of this for Neo of all things lol.
And wouldn't they fake something I guess more common to the site instead of something abstract like NFTs? Instead of faking a press conference for NFTs, they could do one saying they're retracting their decision on bringing UCs to the NC mall or something.
