My, Jerry is a Popular Name Today

Sun Feb 27, 2005 8:08 pm

Check the adoption agency, might just be me, but there are a LOT of pets named Jerry. o__O I counted 20 or so. How many can you count?

Doesn't the pound go in alphabetical cycles or something?

That would explain it. I've seen that sort of thing before.

Is it just me or are there always "more than 60 pets up for adoption"? You'd think the number would fluctuate a bit over time

Sometimes spammers like to make new accounts with pets named the same, and disown them a week later and self ice. o.o Why they do it, I don't know.

That's true. I've seen pets with the same name over and over again but with related numbers. Too close to be a coincidence. Huh, I wonder why?

The thing I don't like is the amount of Grrals, Skieths & Lennys there just for the avatars. Sure I wanted the avatars but at least I was nice enough to adopt one that was already there instead of making a new one

You forget however, if someone enters a name and it's already taken, then neopets will suggest the name with numbers. There's probably a pattern in the numbers that it uses :)

Speaking of creating pets for avatars, I adopted a lenny instead of create. But it's called LennyForTheAvatar 8)

Yeah the names should be listed in alphabatical order.

I see one guy playing Neopets for 3 wks. His description was: I am a pet disowner. I play games for money to disown. I hate ixis. He has 4 pets. all ixis. called i_hate_ixi1, i_hate_ixi2..etc

Pretty dumb

Disowning/Creating pets should be more strict, because its pretty sad to see people creating pets for no apperant reason and just disowning them for fun.
