Am I the only person who does not like the tigermouse redraw? To me, it's lost all it's personality and has joined the legions of too "cutesy" or just weird (I used to like tenna, they were so weird they were cool - now they're just

).

The new bank account levels are nice

I was able to upgrade my account. Now to just not spend any of my np, at least for awhile.

The UL ... I despair of ever being chosen (and I really tried so hard).

Uh...that was Wednesday's news, not Thursday's.

I like Tigermouse's revamp, though it did lose the attitude it had.

I'm with you on both -- especially the Tenna. (Were they really afraid children would pick up their actual pets by their antennas and fling them?) The Tigermouse wasn't a favorite of mine, but at least it had attitude.

I mean, honestly. :| Don't enter into the contest if you don't have some sort of paid Photobucket or something.

Hmm, if you click on the tigermouse pic link it leads to fresh food shop...
What does it mean :evil:

Ultimate Riches! Interest Rate : 12.5% per year.

Mmmm additional interest. I like, considering it's my only income these days.

Account Type : Millionaire Platinum

How nice.

Looks sort of off though, since I only have about 120k in there right now. XD

Very strange to see an entry in that condition, as well. :roll:

Eh, She won Site Spotlight. Gallery Spotlight. Neopian Times. User Lookup and more. She must be good at drawing and writing.... Actually her userlookup may not be a Paid Photobucketer. It can be she signed up a lot of free accounts all over.

I think I remember another UL that ended up exceeding bandwidth - I think they were using imageshack too. With Walagata and Photobucket, if they have a free account, there is a bandwidth limit each month. Even paid accounts, if they use an excessive amount of bandwidth will be contacted by PB. I hope no one has more than one free PB account - that's a no-no with them. Same with Walagata.

I didn't click on the tigermouse pics, but it's not the first time they put something in the news and when you click on it, you go somewhere else - like the last chapter of the plot. If you click on that (unless they fixed it) you go to the front (home) page, not the plot comic.
