The site just went down again. 5th day in a row. The obvious explanation is DDoS attack, but I have a hard time believing JumpStart hasn't invested in any protection against that before now. Really strange.

Really strange. I find the overall timing of the site going down multiple times within in a week a bit suspicious, as it does coincide with the tail end of the Cup (and subsequently, the finals), so perhaps more bots than usual. I mean, it's been well documented that the Cup has had problems with bots over the years, even with the measures that TNT has implemented (like the Capchas). Site's back up, but who knows for how long?

Really strange. Hmmm... I could have sworn that most of the site is hosted on the Microsoft cloud now. A DDoS attack on that cloud would be bigger news, but the Azure dashboard didn’t show any warnings. Update: You can’t use “ping” or “traceroute” to hit Neopets directly but you can look up details about where they are hosted. ipinfo.io/23.96.35.235 Looks like the US East region for Microsoft Azure.

It was intermittently out last night. Is there a pattern? It seems to go down around the same time every day at night.

Me: I'm glad I've been getting back into doing dailies regularly! Now I have more chance of better prizes and stats, plus it gives me something to do to start my day!
Zathandria, my active with half her hit points and Chickaroo: Mm yes, it's great, I'm glad someone is having fun at least -.-

Pssst, check out the new NC collectors item on Moehogs. I thought it looked familiar, its The Three's collectible robe with a slight recolor and additional accessories! Well, I guess it could be worse, and since The Three's robe was a nice looking item that also means this is a nice looking item, but now it has a cape (and is a bit baggier)! So I guess in this case it might have worked out recycling assets. *shrugs*

If your browser is informing you that Flash is going to be out of support soon in 2020, here’s what Neopets has to say about it:

For the new random contest, do we need to actually make the item, or is a description enough?
I have ideas, but I can't draw at all. Or program anything, really.
