Umm, I'm with Erin. I have no idea what you two are talking about. Are you saying that Neo servers (or whatever) got hit with some sort of uber-virus? Where did you see that? And who is SB?

Someone here said they thought they got a virus from Neo, and a few people had posted on various boards that they had. This is fairly recent - like within the past couple of weeks. But if that were true - that the site itself had been infected (and somehow passed it on), wouldn't it have gone down before this? I'm sooooo confused! And dealing with my own puter weirdness - my cpu usage keeps going to 100% and locking up; and every now and then spontaneously shuts down and restarts itself o_O

hmmm, kinda interesting...in my guild, a alot of my friends goof around saying they're going to take over Neopets. (it's amazing what you come up with when you're bored

) In fact, just yesterday, they were doing some of that. Hmmm...coincidence? :thinking:

Of course, in that case...neo HQ would've been hit by either a) a toast army, b)dung bombs, or c) cheese! :roflol:

I did that on MSpaint. I am one evil kirby!

now I can't help but wonder...how WOULD a server sandwich taste? o_O

Sheesh, it still isn't up? I got back on here at about 10:30 PM my time, thinking that it would simply have to be up--I had waited around...let's see...15 hours for it. But when I clicked a link, there was the Red Pteri staring at me. I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those times when the site is down for days on end. If it's down for approximately another 9 hours it will have been one whole day.

see, with MY luck, neo will prolly come back on as soon as I go to bed, and knowing I cant play comp in the morning, I wouldn't know. And neo would prolly give out prizes and stuff as apologies...and I'd miss it! *reads post again* Wait...what am I SAYING?! Give out apologies? :roflol:

I hope it is not down for days. I got up at 11am GMT time today and found out that Neopets was DFM so it been down for over 17 hours.

It is 4:32 am here at the moment I might as well go to sleep now and hope it is back up in the morning.

okay, so lemme get this right...neo went down at approz 3:00 am (nst) this morning? Well...it's 8:30 right now (I'm in same time zone), so that would make it 17 1/2 hours. just a few more, and it's a full day. I sense a neopets drought coming on...

They updated their down for maintenance page

Ack! Sorry, huge problems today. We had trouble with our database earlier and have spent most of the day trying to get the site back online. It should be up within a couple of hours, so please bear with us!

Oh man, the red pteri morphed into a mutant kacheek who says "Ack! Sorry, huge problems today. We had trouble with our database earlier and have spent most of the day trying to get the site back online. It should be up within a couple of hours, so please bear with us!". I hope he keeps his promise.

Is that a...MUTANT KACHEEK I see!?!

It's sort of a...refreshing change from the Red Pteri...but on the other hand, the site is still down.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed the page change yet. I think the red pteri is cute, even though it brings evil tidings...

Maybe Neopets got Burninated....

...and the Trogdor comes in the NIGHT!!!!!!!
