Question

on  

We don’t know why you left Neopets, you should have your reasons; I think you were one of the best staff ever on Neopets creating avatars, content and things new staff doesn’t do as you did – despite what happened and how many years has been since you left neopets, would you ever comeback to Neopets? I think they need you current staff doesn’t know how to keep the people who have been playing entretained your ideas inspirasions and such were awesome among the years you were on the neopets team, please consider going back to Neopets and get back the community and make Neopets awesome again. (Also how do we get eternal access to the Magma Pool) no one has discovered this yet nor no one wants to give a clue – even a hint would help us thank you

Avatars

on  

Hi, snarkie!

Hope you are well.
First, I’d like to thank you for your amazing work on Neopets. I really miss the old times!
I read your answer for the question “What Happened to Avatars?” and I’d like to ask you a question (actually two!) about it. What is your favorite Avatar? Which Avatar wasn’t created by you?

Thank you so much!

Neopets Sponsor Games, & The Evolution Of The “Flash Game”

on  

I don’t know how you feel about sponsor games/areas, I do know how other people felt, but I always loved sponsor games and their limited time prizes, my only gripe was that they were often limited to the United States. But my question is, did you make all of sponsor games? I know you made some of them, but for others were you instead sent a game and asked to host it on the site? Because I remember “Dracula’s Maze Game,” around Autumn 2012, was seen on a few sites besides Neopets.

That would mean that browser-based Flash game movie tie-ins aren’t/weren’t just a Neopets thing, but an industry-wide thing. So when that stopped, when movies stopped asking for Flash game tie-ins, would you say that’s the sign of the shift from browser-based Flash games being as relevant as they were? Was that the time when it was officially time to stop playing browser based Flash games, and do… whatever it is that replaced them? Mobile games? How did kids’ movies market themselves after Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?

staff drama and all that fun stuff

on  

hi snarkie 🙂
after many years away, i’ve returned to the site in the midst of quarantine (on that note, i hope you and your loved ones are well.) i stumbled across your website and was incredibly happy to do so. to cut to the chase, i have a few questions. i guess i am mostly curious about TNT staff, and the politics that go on….
what was working in the office like? (i imagine something like office space but more fun).
do you still speak to any of the staff now that you have resigned?
do you have problems with anyone? i wonder about adam and donna, hrobi, mari_jhane, mistressfaerie, ad0… where are they now? i’ve read older ama’s from donna but would love to see a fresh one. anyways, all the best to you in this crazy time, snarkie 🙂 thanks for reading!

Pant Devill

on  

long shot, but I guess it can’t hurt to ask.

When the one player battledome opened way back when, what color was the Pant Devil?

He’s always been blue, but before the challenger launched the images were of a red Pant Devil. (which I didn’t save, and to this day can’t find anyone else who has them)

Any insights on why he was going to be red in the BD?
