    Hello all,

    This is my first post so be gentle please. ;)

    I started playing neopets 1 month ago. After a week of playing games I had a goal of 1 million np for my first month. I turned to restocking. Currently, if I cashed out now my account is around 750000 np. Close to my goal but not good enough. I have missed a few ub's here and there which led me onto the search for what I knew had to be the culprit....an AB.

    Luckily I ran into this forum.

    I have been lurking around for a couple of days. I have read all announcements, stickys, and rules. Read the conflicts of "who created the code". And have downloaded all the programming languages and libraries. I have yet to download an actual neopet program (will set up some side test accounts first).

    Today brought me to the decision of a full out assault on posting legitimate thought out posts on as many topics as possible without gravedigging....Or to do what I feel is needed the most (especially without banner ads)....I donated money.

    I know my donation will be used well as I can see it in the content and management of the forum itself.

    Goals for myself within this forum now are:

    Provide helpful information to those I can help.
    Constructive criticism to those who accept it.
    Level 3
    And most of all read, read, read...I'm all ears...or eyes in this case.

    Thanks in advance. I will have plenty of questions in the future.

    everest

    +rep to the mods, coders, the community, and of course the ones who put up the funds to host the servers, pay for bandwidth, and invest all their time.

    sorry to be so long winded and for any spelling/grammer errors...didnt run it thru a word processor.

    Yes it does seem to be a older member i think there needs to be a IP check to see if it is someone has previously been banned.

    Welcome to the site i just hope you are not a old member as you will be banned but welcome and enjoy your time here :D

    Just for everyone's reference, you're sadly mistaken in your suspicions. That banned member you referred to has never used that IP.

    That has to be the worst greeting I've ever seen any of you give a new person joining this board.

    looneytoon, Konvict, billy_bob_joe anf ali913xx

    You all should be ashamed of yourselves. If I ever see any one of you do such a thing again, I'll personally suspend you for a week... and that's only if I am in a good mood, as these pieces of crap posts you call a welcome tick me off.

    Check his points out boys... He's at least as a new member trying to help the board out financially.

    Also... familiarize yourself with the rules:

    \*/ Harassment and discrimination is not tolerated by Neofriends.
    Any hateful or hurtful messages to any member of Neofriends is not tolerated. Harassing comments about anybody includes, but is not limited to sexual, physical, and/or mental harassment. Discrimination includes, but is not limited to any form of, racism, sexism, and/or stereotyping.

    I'd better hear of some apologies.


    Now... everestsummits, my apologies for not being here sooner as this got way out of hand.

    I join with lbadmus in welcoming you here, and hope to read you more!

    This board is becoming more paranoid than the U.S of terorrists.

    Welcome to the site everestsummits, Hope you enjoy your stay here.

    Listen i am sorry to say but marlene i like you and i an proud to say i am not ashamed i am just trying to look out for the community, as when i read this new person intro it did look a lot like someone that had been here b4 simply because to much of the ground was covered.

    I have never in my few months of been here at this site seen such a intro so i think we had reason for suspision, this is no where near dicrimanation, so your basically saying if chris2525 was to come back we would have to just got on with things knowing that he is a scammer even if you was to take the to a court of justice this would not be percived as discimination as i have showed my uncle these and he said who ever said it must be a joke so i would like this to be taken back as a solicitor said there is no hint of discimination :lol:

    I also said if you are not a old member welcome so there was so no need for any of this marlene we was just trying to look out and make sure that a previously banned member was not trying to make his way back on this site.

    Also for your info if no one can remember chris2525 was currently moving home well that is what he ttold me via PM which would fully explain the ip.

    But hey i am not the one goin to be handing out the suspension. I am sorry to say i am sticking with what was said But to that new person i am sorry if you felt like you was been jumped on by us for no apprant reason i am also sorry to marlene for making her so mad :cry: i love the site and i loove you asll i just want the best for those around me and i will just make sure that i never do it again or report scams as this is what happens when we get a concern :roll:


    this would seem to be why marlene was so angry because of money i have donated money time and love to this site, i just dont get why moeny seems to be a huge thing. maybe marlene was not ment to make it look like she was pointing out the financial stuff but that what it does look like. Its justs looks like money is the object if you give money you have backup from mods for anything it seems :p

    welcome to the site everestsummits. Im sure you can understand the reasons for people posting what they did but they're most likely wrong.

    From the amount you donated you wouldnt donate that just to get banned again.

    Anyway ignore them. Have fun and enjoy the amazing site :D [/quote]

    Konvict - Money had nothing to do with it... although I doubt anyone would make such a contribution until they knew they wouldn't be banned.

    The mod's try very hard to make sure the forum is as clean as it can be from scammers.

    We have a lot more tools at our disposal then most.

    Just imagine anyone joining... and making an excellent post... and then someone jumping on them with absolutely no proof.

    Anyway... enough said and I sincerely hope the paranoia stops and we can go back to being the fun loving community we all know.

    I am very, very, very sorry. I had no poof that you were chrisw2525. it is just i was there when it happened and i never ever want it to happen again. i am terribly sorry for making accusations and i should not have. chris jsut made a false promise and will probably never go through with his threat. now i feel like a terrible person, well thats because i am an awful person. You will probably make a great addition to the forum, and i cant wait to see al of your wonderful posts. It was very wrong of me to accuse anyone of being a scammer and i will NEVER do it agian unless i have proper evidence and i have made sure that the evidence is correct. i feel so bad now, and i hope i didnt make you feel discouraged to post or chat on the forum. if there is anything that i can ever do to make it up for you please tell me and i would be more than happy to do it. you probably wont ever trust me again, but i dont blame you, i was extremely rude and i hope that i didnt make you feel unwelcome to the forum. if i could -rep myself right now, i probably would. that is what i would do if anyone else gave someone such a rude welcoming and that is what i deserve. here is a proper welcome


    Hello! Welcome to neofriends! I hope you like it here. Also, dont forget to read the rules, but it seems like you already read them ;)


    That is my proper greeting to a new member and that is the only kind of greeting that i will ever make, a nice one. i am sorry again to everybody for being so disrespectful to another member. im sorry...
