'''TheDailyNeopets''' is a fan site of [[Neopets]] which began in late 2005. Formerly a subsidary of [[PinkPT]], the owner and administrator of TDN (TheDailyNeopets), Tipem, had previously ran a commentary for PPT. After a month of hard work tending to the commentary, Yukio purchased TheDailyNeopets.com for Tipem. As PinkPT did not post unreleased Neopets news at the time, TheDailyNeopets' main purpose was to do so. Over the coming year, TDN has blossomed into a fully independent fan site, with its servers based in the loungeroom of its Administrator, Tipem, in Ohio, USA.

==History==
TheDailyNeopets was a branch off of PinkPT, with very little content and viewers of similar numbers. Its original layout consisted of sky-blue colour and a sponge Blumaroo.

As PinkPT continued to support TheDailyNeopets through yet another facelift, not much more pleasing to the eye as the previous one. The lack of information still remained, however. That was until Tipem (The owner of TheDailyNeopets) got the idea "TDNSUW", which stood for "The Daily Neopets Super Update Week". This entailed adding various pages of guides and graphics and lifted TheDailyNeopets into better territory.

After the 'TDNSUW', TheDailyNeopets had many more visitors, but now lacked helpful navigation. This was remedied in version 3 of the site where an eye-catching layout was made along with improved page navigation and overall well-being of the site. More members were added to the staff to write more guides for TheDailyNeopets.

At the end of January, TheDailyNeopets ran a survey to ask the viewers of the site what they wanted to see. They recieved a very high amount of replies in a very short amount of time, but got lots of new ideas for version 4, which was released on the 11th of March 2006. It was an instant hit with all of the viewers, as it included almost all of their suggestions sent to Tipem through the survey a couple of months previous.

V4 lasted a good while before TDN went to v5 (why? Sources say boredom was the cause). V5 came out in late July of 2006, and, even with a bumpy start, has a good chance of catching on quickly. The Hissi in the corner is gone from the banner now, but Jerry, as he always shall, remains.

==Features==
TheDailyNeopets boasts features other fansites may not offer. Along with offering graphics, the latest unreleased Neopets news and [[dailies]] list, it has its own Editorial so that regular [[Neopians]] that cannot get their question answered officially can recieve a helpful reply. TheDailyNeopets is also one of the few Neopets fan sites to offer a complete, step-by-step [[Altador Plot]] guide with many readers. An [[Avatar]] Lending Account was set up to reward its readers with aid to get the most sought after avatars for use on the Neoboards. With a first attempt at this proving unsucessfull, two loyal members of the sites forum offered to revive the service. The "Where's Jerry?" plot (See below) was a big hit, and TDN first plot.

==Staff==
TheDailyNeopets employs an active group as members of staff. Currently, there are 4 staff members, with one spot assigned to the Administrator (Tipem); one spot assigned to a News Poster (Jasper); 2 spots assigned to Content Writers (Samuel, Animetriplicate); and no one in the graphics area at the moment. There is one forums moderator (Mikey), and two staff members in charge of the Avatar Lending Program (Eric, Stupler)

==Where's Jerry?==
On June 1, 2006, TheDailyNeopets began an on-site plot to find Jerry, the red [[Pteri]], their mascot. Set up by Samuel, a member of staff, the plot involved various puzzles and was quite challenging. At the start of the plot, Bob the Detective [[Wocky]] was introduced, as the crime-fighting guru. The solutions of the plot were held in upmost secrecy; the threat of disqualification used in deterrence. After working at differnt clues all around the site for two weeks, the final part was released and everyone rushed to finish. After the prizes were awarded, Jerry was returned to the banner safe and sound, and the Jerry-napper, [[Commander Garoo]], was apprehended.

Altador Plot

2006-05-31T05:08:00Z

165.21.154.15:

The first official 2006 [[Plot]] on [[Neopets]], involving the most recent addition to the Neopets landscape - the city of [[Altador]].

==Plot Summary==
''...to be added...''

===Book of Ages Entry===
<blockquote>''Long ago, before the building of our great city, twelve heroes arose. Each was famous for different deeds of varying natures. The greatest of these heroes is the one whom we now know as King Altador. He, with the aid of the other heroes, founded our illustrious city by the sea.'' 
''Before the Great Betrayal, the kingdom of Altador was one of the most glorious places in all Neopia. It was a centre of culture and greatly admired for its dignified citizens. Those blessed times were nearly lost when one of our own, who once called herself an ally and friend to the heroes, turned her heart to darkness and attempted to destroy the city. Only by Jerdana's magic were we saved, though our future remains uncertain.'' 
''Within this tome you will find the recorded history of the twelve heroes and how they came to form the Kingdom of Altador. Protect this knowledge well, for it may be all that is left if Jerdana's magic fails and the betrayer succeeds....'' 
'''Chapter 1, The Sleeper''' 
''"Just as a hero must perform a heroic deed before he can be named as such, a villain must also do something terrible in order to earn such a title. The Betrayer was not always an evil being and was once even respected for her deeds. Long before the Great Betrayal, (in fact, before the founding of Altador), she earned her place among the twelve Founders by saving the life of King Altador himself."'' 
"A terrible menace was plaguing a peaceful farmland, and a hunter (the future king of Altador) journeyed forth to slay the beast. He tracked it back to its lair in a cave at the base of a mountain and there cornered it. Though the beast roared viciously, Altador did not falter." 
"Rather, he notched an arrow and let it fly, striking the beast squarely in the head. Even as the vile creature slumped to the ground, another of its kind snuck up on the unsuspecting Lupe. The noble hunter would have fallen then and there if not for a purple blast of magic. Startled, Altador spun around, just in time to see the other creature collapse. There, standing behind it, was a dark faerie... the Betrayer." 
"Altador thanked her graciously for saving his life. He had never witnessed such compassion on the part of a dark faerie before, so he bid her to return with him to his village, where they would feast and be praised as heroes." 
Each carried the head of the beast they had slain to the village, and a grand celebration was held long into the night. Altador, realising what a unique ally he had acquired, asked her to stay and join him and his companions in fulfilling a dream he had of founding a great city. The Betrayer agreed, and though she would ultimately help to build the kingdom's august capital and serve the council well, nothing can make up for her terrible betrayal. She broke the king's heart, for no sword strikes as deep as the one wielded by a friend...." </blockquote>

==Trivia==
*On May 27, 2006, [[The Neopets Team]] declared on the news page the Altador Plot was over, and congratulated all those who found all constellations, and hoped everyone enjoyed their prizes. Two paragraphs down though, they claimed it was a joke, and they were still working on the next part, hopefully to be released next week.
