how sad is it that NEOPETS, a virtual pet site.... is leaving us so jaded? is anything innocent and "sacred" anymore? uggh, internet....uggh
Vinyl, I actually (at least for me) think that's the point. We all know the internet is full of spam, ads, adware/malware/spyware/virus, etc. .... It's the fact that a supposedly "safe", COPPA-compliant, family-friendly site that is also supposed to be an escape from all the real life and real world garbage has been invaded and taken over by that very garbage.
Our trust has, in a sense, been violated. Our trust that we would be safe on Neopets - safe at least from reality for awhile. Now I have to run my spyware scans every night, since I have gotten spyware from a couple of the ads.
yes, that's exactly what i was trying to say, sorry if it came out that differently.
i agree one hundred percent, what i was saying was sad was the fact that even neopets is letting us down.
