Hi, Guys!
Its' been a hot second. I recently started playing Neopets again. My user name used to be Empoleon07, but about 2 to 3 years ago (It's a little hazy) my account got hacked into and TNT froze it. I've tried several times to get it reactivated but eventually I gave up and moved on. Recently life has started getting a little heavy and I decided to start a new with a clean slate. I used to be a frequent contributor to the Neopian Times comic section, and I made so many friends on this forum, but just with real life taking over, I just lost motivation. Recently I've been getting back into the social media aspect of drawing and writing and frequenting my old stomping grounds. I then got curious and wondered how the NTWF was fairing. Turns out, it looks like a lot of my friends who I talked to seem to still be active! I want to try to get back to consistent activity within online communities since it's how I made so many of my friends as a teenager. I digress, but I'm so excited to meet all the new people to the forum, and reconnect with all my old friends.

Hey there, Cappa! Not sure we've had the chance to meet before, but I definitely recognize you! I remember your comics from the NT, and I remember back then your art style was one that made me go "I want that =o" xD The way you drew such huge expressions, and the volume you added to body shapes (especially to male figures!), it just blew my teenage mind xD
That really sucks about your old account, though; after hearing the time and emotional toll it can be trying to recover an account many times over, I don't blame you for moving on. That's great to see you back here, though, I hope you can settle back in and enjoy that fresh start at online life again!
I'm Twillie, a NT(?) comic artist, although it's been a while since I've worried about submitting regularly to the NT. The series I started for it has grown over the years more into something I like to make for myself, although of course still takes place in Neopia x3

this is like a family reunion I feel so loved <3
PFA and Ian, Its good to talk to you again. PFA I missed your art style and it's so refreshing to see again. Ian, I love that you still use the blinking icon I made years ago.
Rabbit, It's so nice to meet you! I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
And Twillie, I remember youe art style vividly! I'm so honored that I inspired you, that means a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of your art!

Hello, Cappa! It's amazing to see you around the NTWF again (even though I'm pretty sure we're friends on Facebook so I have been following your life in a way). I am very sorry to hear about your account but hopefully we here at the NTWF you can reconnect with old friends (hello, send me a PM if you want) and get to know some of the cool new people who joined after you left. ^_^

Oh wow, that's so cool that you remember my art! =o And yeah, your comics and art style are ones I'd recognize immediately, and I also remember seeing cameos of your characters or crossovers back in the day, haha! It's funny looking back now and seeing all the NTWF stuff in the NT, when I first read it all I didn't even know this place existed xD

Oh, hey Cappa! I remember you from way back when, but I was more of a lurker than anything else. Nice to meet you?
(also: how do you feel about the kappa twitch emote?)

Hey, welcome back Cappa! :D
The situation with your account sucks big lemons. D: Though, I'm glad to hear that you got a little something positive (opportunity for a clean slate) out of that mess.
