WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS THREAD EARLIER admittedly I wasn't huge into sparkledogs/woofs when I was young. Nah, my jam was dragons and cats. As in, Warrior Cats. THAT BEING SAID I am 1000% in support of this whole silly thread and the fun self-indulgence it has This is Ragingheart. He has draconic fire powers and may have at one point been a literal dragon?? Nobody's quite sure, not even himself. He has a super tragic backstory full of betrayal and also involving being captive but now he is FREEEEEEEEE and nobody will take that away from him, and also he is Loyal To A Fault(tm) to his friends and will FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR THEM also in case the name didn't clue you in he has Anger Issues(super tm) and is a bit of a broody mcbrooderson at first. There's some bullshit about a destiny he doesn't want and maybe some people hunting him down because of Reasons and also he doesn't do well in captivity and he's probably lost a lot of friends in the past? also darn u @swirlingflight you took my old default Warriors name |DD AMAZINGLY it isn't as unique of a name as I thought it was when I was like 15
I remember some group I came across who made RPs that were literally Warriors with sparklewoofs. Anyway, Astralfire loves seeing other dragons and will be your friend.
oh i should show off some of my actual characters that i legit rp with that are totally fucking sparklewolves. Spoiler: Images i'm cryin these are all legit rp characters. also don't steal this shit i paid for the arts LOL i'm dead. this is the end. i'm a huge fucking nerd.
I actually recall a fair few people getting banned for incredibly minor infractions. And for things like saying something was "hot," because that's obviously sexual and bad. This applied to saying, for instance, "Man, it's really hot out!" Some of those stories may have been apocryphal, but I do recall days where getting frozen happened very, very often, usually for ridiculous reasons.
That was after Neopets started really taking off, I think. Back when it first started and I was in highschool, people were getting away with cybering.
FUCKING MARRY ME RIGHT NOW ACEY THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AS A FORMER SUPER DUPER CEREAL NEOPETS LUPE RPER HOLY SHIT I AM SO STOKED RIGHT NOW
Yeah, a handful of years later. I graduated highschool in '01 and I'd been playing for at least a year before.
*fondly remembers threads soliciting offsite rp using euphemisms like "contact (name1) via the running man, or reach a bored professional at (name2)" to mean an AIM and proboards name respectively because you couldn't actually say those things anymore because soliciting offsite rp was against Da Rules*
Aaaaah man @Void I love your art style for drawing woofs ;A; also, re: Neopets Nostalgia, I remember very clearly that you couldn't say "bad as" which made saying things like "man that wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting" IMPOSSIBLE also I distinctly remember apostrophes getting banned for a while so we all had to use the ` symbol instead OH AND TALKING ABOUT ROUNDABOUT WAYS TO SAY OTHER SITE NAMES: the book of faces.
this newest thing i posted was just colored on a template plz dont think that's me drawing lol. the first drawings in the thread are mine tho also i totally want to rp woofs. i can't even help it. i'll probably make a thread in the rp board for brainstorming
I think because people ended up using them to try to get around swearing? Like as's for ass or sh'it or he'll (WHICH I MEAN. THAT LAST ONE IS A LEGIT WORD THAT ISN'T A SWEAR.) Or else it was just a case of the filters being shit. Which they were. Oh, ok, my bad! My point still stands, though, I loved the art you did in the beginning of the thread and kept forgetting to mention it. And also even if it is a template that was some damn fine coloring skillz
I also remember that you weren't allowed to say "password" in any context. This was supposedly to keep people from giving out their passwords, but it was a really stupid way to do it.
early neopets sounds like a fucking trip. i didn't even know the forums existed, i literally just did minigames all day
