Editing Neoboards/Active Boards

<sup><small>< [[Neoboards]]</small></sup>
{{construction|reason=In Progress}}

'''Active Boards''', in this sense, are boards in which every user can view (Given they're ages 7+) and post on (Given they've met the requirements to do so). They're often permanent additions to the board listing.

== Naming ==

The name is based of the fact that they're active; they're always viewable and and always listed on the Main Neoboard index regardless of the season, time, or current event.

== Board Listing ==

The following boards are viewable on the Index at all times:

It is primarily used as a chat forum for the Park as the Petpet Park does not feature a chat forum itself.

<b>Note</b> - The description for the board strongly implies that Petpet Park is not separate from Neopets, referring to it as "the Petpet Park".
