    Best advice for not getting frozen?

    My Neo account is 12+ years old, and I really don't use side accounts. I've been pretty brazen with cheating on my main currently and in the past. A few years ago I bought an UC pet and the seller helped me make it look legit onsite, and after that I let my account just sit for 3+ years. I returned last week and bought a couple draik eggs, PBs, some other stuff, and a new UC pet offsite. All just transferred from shells to my main account (I did the transferring). Now I'm like... just waiting to be frozen. But at the same time, I'm wondering if just logging off for 3 years again would be my best bet. I did sign up for premium thinking maybe they'd be less likely to freeze a paying member, but who knows. It's been 4-5 days since I transferred anything to myself.

    So my question for people here basically is, what is your best advice post cheating to not get frozen? And what is the longest period of time between cheating and being frozen that you have heard of? I'm wondering if I'd be in the clear if I logged out and came back in 2-3 years.

    1. Stay off the NeoBoards. Exposing yourself to other users is in my opinion the biggest risk. And that trickles down to the following (kind of) subpoints:
    2. Don't put up any trades/auctions (basically anything where your username is shown to other users lol)
    3. Try not to get your username on games hi-score tables
    4. Don't own pets with names that are commonly searchable (RWs/RNs)
    5. Don't have a big neomall or buy extensively from user shops

    Basically, be a hermit on Neopets and play the game as if it's single player. Unless you're xferring literal millions of laundered NPs I think transferring an item in between accounts every so often (definitely spread it out as much as you can control yourself) is fine. It's really when OTHER users start to eye you that you begin to get in trouble. Once people know to keep a look out for you it's so much harder to protect your presence. (Ex. you buy a RW named Puppy. People take note of how your account looks. Some time later you buy an UC that no one has seen before, and it's obvious you haven't been on the PC to trade. That sets off red flags) In my opinion at this point you should continue maintaining regular activity on your account even if it's just logging in to do dailies. Try to get as many site event related trophies as you can as time goes on, to minimize the "gaps" on your userlookup. Those are also annoying things people look out for (even though everyone is guilty of taking several year hiatuses at a time).

    Those are just some of my just-woken-up thoughts, would love to hear what other people have to say! Good luck staying under the radar!

    That's sound advice, thank you! Even when I was inactive for those 3 years, I did log in on my phone and do some dailies every few weeks to a month or so so that my account wouldn't be seen as a target to hack into. I think I'll just do the same thing again... No neoboards, no trades/ auctions, just dailies occasionally. At this point I think I'd be most heartbroken if the account was frozen purely for nostalgic reasons. I haven't spent a fortune cheating (I've spent far more on legit NC purchases over the years). So idk... I accept that being frozen is a risk but it would be great if that didn't happen.

    Yes, @(you need an account to see links) I think summed everything I can think of. As he said try not to make anyone envious or suspecting of your account (Be very careful if participating in the neoboards). Be careful when cheating if you do, careful of not sending impossible scores that will appear for a month in the high scores for everyone to see. But I would say you can keep playing (legit for a while), if you haven't been frozen yet you should be fine.
