Editing Down for Maintenance Pteri

{{PastFeatured}}[[Image:103 left.gif|right]]
The '''Down for Maintenance Pteri''' is a [[Red]] [[Pteri]] and a [[1-Player Challengers|one-player challenger]] that users can fight in the [[Battledome]].  He is based off of an image of a Red Pteri that is shown when the [[Neopets|Neopets website]] is down for maintenance.

==History==
[[Image:Dfm screen.png|left|The "Down for Maintenance" screen features a Red Pteri.<small> [http://pinkpt.com/neodex/images/1/14/Dfm_screen.png See bigger]</small>|thumb]]
For many years, the screen that is displayed when the Neopets website is unavailable has included generic, crying Red Pteri.  After a while, users began to associate this Red Pteri with the frustration of not being able to access the website.  In [http://www.neopets.com/newnt/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=146 Editorial #146] of the [[Neopian Times]], Neopets user [http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=tonya1982 Tonya1982] asked [[TNT]] to make the "Neopets is Down For Maintenance Pteri" into a Battledome challenger so that Neopets users could "take their frustrations out on him".  TNT granted this request, and on July 27, 2004, the Down for Maintenance Pteri was released as an official Battledome challenger.<br style="clear:both"/>
