Woah nelly! It's a long time since I've been here, and a long time since I've been on Neopets. Every so often I'd log in to feed my pets and make sure my accounts weren't purged but I think I'd like to stick around a bit longer this time.
Of course, now I get to feel like a n00b all over again because I forget how to do things/where things are, both here and on Neopets. My profile layouts were all reset to the default and now I don't know where to get editable profile layouts. I was discussing comic collabs with some people and now I'm not sure where on this forum that's done. I had a thread where people could submit ideas for my comic, but since Proboards changed I'm not sure I can access it anymore.
Also I have a badge for being an old fogey, which is hilarious.
I ended up leaving the NTWF and Neopets in general because my computer and tablet both died during my last year of uni (you can see the quality decline in my comics) and because I started working as a wildlife biologist after graduation, so internet access was not something I had on a regular basis.
Now I've been a middle school science teacher for almost six years, and while I think all of my Neofriends have moved on, I missed my little pixel critters.
I've visited other virtual pet sites and haven't found any community as kind or creative as the one on Neopets. I'm glad to be able to come back and I hope I can be more active in the future.

Oh, hi there! It's okay, that happens, real life can be like that. Ooh, you're a middle school science teacher? That's awesome. Anyway, I'm Rabbit, comicer and series writer for the NT, artist, semi-official NT Collab organizer (I have given myself that title) and random nut who won't leave. Pleasure to meet ya.

Heya, welcome back! I remember your comics and I remember seeing you around here, good to have you back! Ahaha, yeah, the switch to V5 was pretty big - it improves a ton of stuff, though, and I think you'll settle into it quickly enough ^^ The collab board is here now - ntwriters.proboards.com/board/12/collaborations It's a subboard under "Reviews and Advice" ^^ Your thread should be under here somewhere - ntwriters.proboards.com/user/124/recent_threads (you can get to it by clicking "Profile" in the top bar, and then "View this user's most recent threads").

Hey, welcome back! I'm Shinko, I don't think I was around when you were here before but welcome to the forum.
Your profile was probably purged because a while back there were some issues with people setting cookie-grabbers to attack from profile and userlookups (which is why there are captchas to view other people's petpages and profiles now). On some level you have to admire the dedication people have to scamming a children's pet website, but on another level you have to wonder why they expend so much effort on scamming a children's pet website, lol. You can customize it again by going to "my account" on the top toolbar, and clicking "edit profile" from the dropdown menu. You'll need your password to make the changes, but aside from that it should be straightforward enough!
Hope you enjoy your stay!

Hello, welcome back to the NTWF! ^^ Good to see old faces coming back once again. As Tiger said, V5 was a big change but we're still all nice and friendly around here so if you're too lost, feel free to prod anyone and ask.

Is that why visiting all profiles requires me to do a captcha thing now?

I vaguely remember you. Welcome back. Hahaha yeah, I wasn't super active even when I was here. There was a Neopian Times Writers Guild I joined on Neopets for a hot second as well before I returned to my guild with my friends (and then it died, whoops).

I hope to stick around a little longer this time. I have a tablet now, so I'd like to start doing my comic again. Though I don't see a board anymore where comic writers could look for artists and vice versa. Do people still do that?

I know Patjade has a thread for her own comic ideas that need artists somewheeere, but I don't recall if there's an explicit board for it. I'd recommend a thread in Times Lobby if you need one. ^^
