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!

Not a robot... probably.
Hi, toki. It’s hard to explain the office without rambling for hours, but it was great. I mean, it was like any job so there were frustrations and hardships and angry pranks involving many bean bag chairs but overall it was great. Everyone was super nice, talented, professional, and friendly. We all trusted each other to do what we thought was best for the site, could speak in shorthand and get things done really quickly, and also just hang out and relax. The team was super awesome.
I talk to some old staff members, like, every day. We’re still really good friends.
No problems with anyone. There are some folks that I wasn’t super best friends with but like I said, everyone was professional and friendly so they’re good folks and I wish them well. (Like any place, we also had a few bad apples over the years but they never lasted long at all and I don’t really consider them TNT. ?)
Haven’t spoken to A&D since Meteor Games days. The other folks you mention either never worked for Neopets or were before my time. ?
A bunch of us did an AMA over on Reddit a few years ago if you want to check that one out.
Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you’re staying safe!
