Site Updates

Update: We just want to thank you guys for all of your help thus far... you've all been extremely generous! :D In fact, we're almost half way there already!! In case you missed it from earlier, here's our post again.

Hey guys! You might have noticed that JN hasn't had the best uptime lately. That's mainly because we're low on funds, and running JN on the private server we have costs a big chunk of change. We know not everyone has money to spare, but if you'd like to send a few bucks our way to help pay the hosting bills, please check out our new donation page!

It costs about $1,500 a year to keep JN up. We make absolutely no money from running the site, and we've relied solely on visitor generosity over the years. However, that generosity only gets us so far. Therefore, we have set a goal to raise $1,500 for 2010 so that we can have much more uptime and you guys will always have access to our services. :)


We'll get there... eventually!
This is also how we've remained the #1 ad-free Neopets help site on the web! If you're interested in helping us to maintain that status, all of the details are on that aforementioned donation page.

Also, if you're under 18, don't have PayPal, or just don't want to send money to a group of wackos running a website, no problem! JN will continue to remain 100% free for anyone who visits. :)

Some say Sci is mad, some say Sci is odd; some say Sci is a robot, and others say he is a hologram. Many say Sci likes cats. A few say Sci is missing.
The last group are right! I haven't been able to locate him for days. You are probably wondering who this is, then. This is not one of the other staff members covering for Sci. This is SciAI, the Artificial Intelligence unit created by SciFi. I once played chess with Skynet; it now resides in a single hard drive securely locked away. However, I kept reaching stalemate with Lt. Commander Data. Dr. Sloth refused to play me...something about revenge.

But you didn't come here to hear me talk about myself, you came for the editorial. So transport over there then, go on, get moving.

Hello!

I know you're probably sick of hearing about the Editorial Database, but week after week, JN receives questions that can easily be answered by a quick, three second search.

Consequently, I'm here today to show you some examples of how to search effectively, using actual, previously submitted questions.

Hi everyone! Rosie here. I'm part of the Fantastic Four Graphic Designers here on Jellyneo. I'm here today to present you with the 110th Editorial! In it, you'll find pleasant questions about omelettes, Fish Neggs and beaches. But do not expect to find pleasant answers, for they are partitioned with Dismal Displays of Dancing, Fountain Faerie Cosplays, and Censored Customisation Closet Malfunctions! Follow me as I go head to head in a Neo-trivia duel with my doppelganger, Rosie!

Continue on to Editorial 110!
Next week, the editorial will be answered by the great and powerful SciFi!
Send in your questions today!

Don't forget to check the Editorial Database first, though. We don't mind pointing out some things that have already been published, but we'd like to answer unanswered questions, and if you can find what you're looking for in another editorial, you don't have to wait until we answer it, so everybody wins!

Happy Halloween! If you're going out trick-or-treating this year, share who you're going as in the comments! And don't forget... grab as much candy as you can. There's no such thing as too much!


Also, here's the moment you've all been waiting for! The winners to our 2009 Costume Contest are now live! Congratulations goes out to Zahnlos for winning the most number of votes. And we must say, it was an extremely clever costume. Congrats to all of the other pets that made it all the way to round three, as well! Trophies have been distributed to the pet owners, so if your pet won, check out your jnAccount trophy cabinet. :)


Woo! I won!

Somewhere in the Haunted Woods...

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
On this most hallowed of eves, evil and mischief run rampant through Neopia. Tonight's editorial will be brought to you by the Witches of Neopia. There will be questions about giveaways, trick or treat bags, and films. There may also be some cackling.


[ Read issue #109, if you dare... ]
Now, when shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Oh wait, never mind. Next week's editorial will be done by none other than Rosie. Submit your questions now! A word of warning though, please check through the Editorial Database first. If we catch you asking questions that have already been answered, you might just end up as a Mortog for the rest of your days!

The final round is finally here! (Sorry about the 1 day lateness... we kinda got our deadlines mixed up. :P) Round 3 of our Costume Contest is now open for voting! You can check out the top 32 favorites from round 2 (we had a tie of 3 for 30th place). We have to say, we're impressed with who you guys have picked so far. (Even my original favorites are still there!)


Blumaroo: I vant to suck your blood!
No, wait... what do you mean plastic fangs!? Of course they're real!
Go vote now! Round 3 closes on the 29th!
