Although her unsanctioned event was soon shut down, Granny Hopbobbin did succeed in confusing many Neopians who were waiting eagerly with donations.
Loser!
TNT for a Day
Although it wasn't actually an entire day, for a brief time ordinary Neopians showed up on the neoboards as if they were TNT staff. This lead to some confusion amongst the team, who began to question if we really had hired on hundreds of new employees just after we all finally learned that new guy's name.
