    Lightbulb And... I'm back again.

    Hello everyone, I will try and not make this sound like an AA meeting introduction.

    I started playing NP with my sisters about 15 years ago and immediately fell in love with it, about 3 years in I discovered you could cheat online video games (shocker, right?) and this started the typical get frozen - take a break - come back vicious cycle.

    It was a big dream of mine as a kid to study something related to computers so that I could work @ neopets when I grew up - lol.

    Fast-forward many years, I'm a computer scientist working as the lead engineer for a FinTech startup based in San Francisco, married, powerlift competitively, and still couldn't fight the urge to come back and play Neopets again when I came across a facebook post - so many memories!

    If anyone's on instagram, feel free to follow me @ (Removed - PM for username)

    It does seem like we can never really escape the site, haha. Welcome back! Back in the day, I wanted to be a moderator on Neopets as a side job. But congrats on the computer sciencing and power lifting and marriage!

    Did you actually apply for such a position? I wonder what positions are available over at the Neopets HQ these days..

    I'm returning too! Turns out my old account was frozen when I tried to get back into it
    I'm not sure why...maybe inactivity or someone tried to get into it maliciously or something? T T

    I never did. They used to have a page on the site for employment opportunities and mods had to work weird hours (I think to cover the boards during the night shifts) and I was in college at the time. I thought about it a lot though. I tried looking for the employment opportunities page just now and couldn't find it. But man, that would have been a sweet side gig.
