For those who have a Reddit account, on November 6 @ 3 pm NST/PST (6 pm EST), Snarkie, Mr. Insane, Dirigibles, and Viola will be hosting a AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. Just thought I'd put it out there.

Ahh, that's so awesome! I don't have a Reddit account, but I'm really looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the head-ups!

I have a Reddit account, so if anyone doesn't feel like making one but has questions, you can ask me to pass it along (though you may need to remind me lol)

Commenting mainly so I can keep track of this, I too would be very interested in reading and will certainly let you know if I have any questions, PFA!

Agreed with everyone else, this has the potential to be interesting. I wonder how much they're allowed/willing to talk about?

Though I have a sort of Reddit account (for the Neopets Reddit mainly), I'm sure whatever questions I have someone else will ask (mainly about if they could tell us any plans they had before the layoffs). Also bringing this over to this thread, I found some interesting stuff on Snarkie's tumblr blog: snarkie.tumblr.com/1. In addition to Snarkie, Dirigibles, Mr. Insane, and Viola some other former TNT members may drop by. 2. Snarkie, Dirigibles, Mr. Insane, and Viola will all be at Mr. Insane's house during this. 3. Looks like Snarkie had a poll asking users for questions she's going to answer. It's closed now, but she did provide one answer: Hmm, I wonder if I type in Jhudora x Illusion with safe search off... oh my... 4. NeoSchools were completely programmed, but was considered not very fun (even after a few revamps) and so was cancelled. 5. Around that same time Snarkie was working on her second user-interface project: the new NeoBoards. She implemented the Avatar system without telling anyone, afraid it'll receive the same fate as NeoSchools. I'd say it all worked out in the end.  6. During the planning of The Faeries Ruins they sort of had Brynn and Xandra as the same character, it was going to be a twist the female protagonist was the true villain. However they had her doing it for evil's sake and thought that was kind of lame, so they separated the characters to make the villain have a more understandable motive, wanting it to be something that users may agree with her with. Later plots/events were suppose to show that wasn't the case and Xandra was wrong to assume the Faeries did nothing. 7. Closing down Faerieland for TFR was a big risk. Faerieland was the most visited land on the site (thus got the most page views which meant more ad revenue; they hoped lost ad revenue would be made up by the plot's page views) so they researched which parts got the most visits and made sure they were still accessible some way. Snarkie came prepared though as it turns out the site executives didn't need that much convincing seeing how vigilant she and the other TNT members were about it. 8. During planning of a Neopets MMO they were figuring ways to let you have "add on" parts and body types while also not having it go too far off base it'll mess with clothing. |

I have so many questions, or had... kind of forgot most of the things I would have wanted to ask about (I had completely forgotten about NeoSchools, but I DO remember buying tons of school related items in the game for when it came out. Ah, memories).

IT HAS BEGUN!... Sorta. They'll start answering questions at 15:00 PST (at the time posting this its 14:43 PST).If you have a question ask now so it can be upvoted thus more likely to be seen an answered. EDIT: Alright, they should be answering questions now!

I asked my questions. Hopefully they'll be answered.
They weren't but at least we know now bringing Keyquest back is next to impossible.
