Re-Introduction to clraik!

[Bettser]

Hey guys!

It has been quite a while. Just looking at the people online, it seems a lot of people have changed usernames or it's just a lot of new faces! Anyways, I feel that I should give an explanation to my nearly four-year hiatus and a definite apology to quite a few members of the forum.

I'll explain the reason for my absence first. My priorities were definitely changing over the years and I wasn't able to give the attention to the clraik community that I was once able to do so. I was working multiple jobs and was in school at the same time. I was in a moderator position and did not give the dedication or time required that was necessary for the role. I let fellow moderators down (Kylae, Drizzy and Bacchus) and most of all Joe. After my demotion and increasingly demanding outside responsibilities, I decided to suddenly part ways with clraik and Neopets as a whole. It was challenging but I thought it was for the best.

I decided to come back to the community because I missed it most. A lot of you may remember me from the late-night Tinychat drunk nights, and just being an extremely active member / trader of clraik. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to the current staff @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links) for allowing me back. I'm looking forward to mending friendships and become an active member of clraik once again.

Also, I haven't played Neo in four years and I'm pretty much starting from scratch so any guidance would be appreciated

I'm a newer member but I feel you in regards to needing to make that tough choice to leave something behind.
Welcome back!

Hey! Welcome back. I haven't been around for a long time too but I definitely remember your name. Neopets is in a very interesting state right now where we get some really nice things but at the same time... literally nothing of actual value except the same old hackneyed NC items all the time. xD UC trading is skewing heavily toward only things of V/WN being of value because of "pending to come" NC UCs although we still have no idea how TNT will implement them. And RW/RN pets are making a resurgence as more are being returned to the pool but dumbfuck PCers keep reporting things into oblivion so... yup!

Welcome back!

I def was part of a couple of those TCs back in the day, but I kind of floated in and out of activity over the years. But right now I am Very In and I love it!
