The NeoBoard is a collection of boards which users can post messages to each other around the world pertaining to special topics. Several staff members named Moderators look over the NeoBoards, making sure users are following the rules. Users can also self-moderate by reporting a message to moderators which they think is unsuitable for Neopets. There is also a filter which prevents a user from using profanity or lewd conduct on the site. However, many users often use symbols or spaces or a combo of them to use profanity, and it isn't filtered.
Forum types
There are many different boards which can be posted on.
Main forums
Avatars/NeoSignatures - Want to show off your avatar or need help getting secret ones? How about NeoHTML and NeoSig help? This is the place to discuss avatars and sigs! NOTE: Item pools are a scam and are not allowed!
Discussions include the method of obtaining new avatars, help on obtaining avatars, designing a font compatible with certain avatars, scattered Font discussion, and games.
Battledome - Find a battle partner! Get weapon information. Anything and everything Battledome is in here.
Many announcements regarding recent accomplishments in the battledome, due to the fact that it is the home of some of the wealthiest users and strongest pets. Usually, if there are any problems with hackers or with duplicated items, the members of this chat are the first ones affected.
Beauty Contest - Advertise your Beauty Contest entries, and see others you can vote for. (Remember, you can only advertise or start topics regarding YOUR OWN Beauty Contest entry!)
Customisation - Post here to make sure no one is wearing the same shirt as your Neopet... that would be embarrassing.
This board is made for discussion regarding Neopet Customisation Beta, including topics about the pet redraws and wearable clothes items.
Evil Things and Monster Sightings - Pant Devil steal your Wand of Ultra Nova? Are you a Sloth minion? This board is for you.
This board consists mostly of users identifying themselves as 'emo' or 'goth', and is typically used for general chat.
Fan Clubs - Have a favourite pet? Petpet? Item? Discuss it here!
Mostly made up of people who like certain celebrities, shows, etc. Usually not Neopets-related.
Games - Need help? Have questions? Want to compare your score with others'? Yup, the Games board is for you.
Guilds - If you're looking for a guild, this is the place to start your search!
Help - Need Neopets help? If you've got a question, this is the place to get answers.
Ideas / Suggestions - Have an idea or suggestion for Neopets, but want to get some feedback on it first? This is the place to go!
Merchandising - Chat about your real life Neopets plushies... or perhaps those Pocket Neopets that like to wake up early in the morning. Whatever you've got, this is the board for all you merchandise collectors!
NeoQuest + NeoQuest II - All the messages in this board must be about NeoQuest or NeoQuest II.
Neopets Trading Card Game - Need help building a deck? Wanna get info on that super rare Villain? This is the place.
Neopian Writers - If you're a writer, this the board for you. Whether you write Neopian Adventures, Neopian Times articles, Storytelling entries, or whatever, you'll find other writers here to talk with.
Newbies - Introduce yourself and meet other newbies!
This is the place to go to get help using an account. Help Chat is more likely to be on topic.
Other Worlds - Discover new places! Or just chat about your made up one. :)
Quests - Need help with a quest? The kind folks in here are willing to lend a hand!
Role Playing - All the messages in this board have to be in character. If you dont abide by the rules, and enough people complain, we reserve the right to freeze your account!
The main purpose of this board is a venue for the players to roleplay.
Shop Ads - Advertise your shop or find good deals on the item you've always wanted.
This board contains people selling and buying things in their shops, and working out prices with other people.
Spotlights and Galleries - Want suggestions or opinions on your spotlight entry? Want tips from previous spotlight winners? Come on in.
Stock Tips - Need some investment tips? All the latest on the Neopian Stock Market is in here.
Trading / Auctions - Advertise your trade and auction lots here!
The board consists mainly of people who spend their time trading for profits.
Virtupets - Gather 'round, all minions of Sloth. Plot the downfall of Neopia! Unless, of course, you'd rather plot the downfall of Sloth himself.
Premium boards
The premium boards are only accessible by premium users.
Charter Members - A board for longtime Premium Members. If you can see this board, that's you!
This board is only available when a premium user stays for more than three months.
Help and Newbies - If you need help or are a new Premium Member with questions, this is your board!
Main Hall - Hang out with other premium members and discuss the finer points of Neopian life. (As always, please keep topics Neopets related. Thanks!)
Spotlights and Games - Get some input on your gallery spotlight entry or get help on that tough game avatar. Your spotlight and game banter goes here.
Other boards
There are other boards which are part of the Neoboard, but are either hidden or only appear at certain times.
Plot - (Random Title)
The Plot board's title and content changes to whatever the current plot is at the time. It's believed the link always remains the same, but is only active when a plot is open. Past titles included:
Volcano Plot - Unknown text of board summary... Needs to be added- Hannah and the Ice Caves - Unknown text of board summary... Needs to be added
Curse of Maraqua - Unknown text of board summary... Needs to be added
Lost Desert - Who's that fortune teller? And what's up with that guy on the Uni already? Talk about the current plot here!
Altador - A mysterious book with nothing in it? A hidden observatory in the Hall of Heroes? What's going on in Altador?!
Altador Cup - Sixteen teams from all over Neopia are competing, but only one will win the coveted Altador Cup. Will it be your team?
The Cyodrake's Gaze - A mysterious ship appears in Neopia and the crew needs your help! You will help them, right?
The Tale of Woe - Wander the Haunted Woods with Gilly and uncover the truth behind the mysterious Tale of Woe.
Journey to the Lost Isle - A journal and a tablet lead a very dedicated professor on a journey to find the mysterious lost isle!- Altador Cup II - Discuss the latest match-ups and taunt your rivals... the Altador Cup is back!
Non-plot boards
Jelly World - Jelly World? That's just a myth. It doesn't exist. Off-topic boards are considered spam and WILL be deleted. Stick to the topic, please.
An unofficial board not shown on the NeoBoards page, but it exists nonetheless as a hidden link.
Neopet Customisation Beta! - Questions, comments, discussions... have at it. We'll be lurking. *cackle*
The Neopet Customisation Beta! board was created for users who were testing the beta version a new neopet customizing program. It was removed with the update to Neopets 2.0.
Trivia
- It is possible to make invisible boards on the NeoBoards by using square brackets to make what is written be processed as tags. This is a freezable offence.
- There are several easter eggs that appear when certain messages are posted.
- Ghostbusters!: Posting 5514344, the telephone number for the Ghostbusters in the movie of the same name, causes Ghostbusters! to appear in its place
- Onion Glitch: Whenever certain words (likely depending on length) are posted, followed by a hard return, an underscore would appear after it. If the word was followed by a punctuation mark, the underscore would appear before it. The word must begin with on, but some shorter phrase, such as only do not cause this glitch. Words such as online, and of course onion, do, however.
- Jelly World: Posting in the URL for Jelly World causes it to be blocked as if it was an off-site link.
- %5000 Glitch: Although no longer active, posting %5000 used to cause P00 to be displayed in its place.
- Report me!: If the phrase this is not a scam is posted, it is replaced automatically by This is a scam! Report me!.
- Bikinis: If the phrase bikini is posted, it is replaced with cardigan, presumably to stop inappropriate conversations. .
- Talk like a Pirate: On talk like a pirate day, some words would come out as common pirate words. For example, "see" turned to "spy" and "n00b" turned to "landlubber."
