Halloween Sidebar This year?

Sun Oct 30, 2005 8:06 pm

Hi everyone,

Im just wondering if TNT will re release the Halloween sidebar this year, like they have with some of the seasonal Avatars.

Last year there was a window of 1 single minute when the sidebar was available to keep.

That was at 11:59pm NST , apparently those who refreshed on the site got the sidebar at that time...

I just wanted to bring this up, as that time is getting near......hehe.

So... Refresh at 11:59 Halloween (tomorrow) night... that's it? Does it matter what page on the site? I had thought being on the sidebar changing page was part of it. Could someone who has the sidebar confirm how to get it please...

Ooh...I hope so. I happen to like that sidebar, and the way to get it was ridiculous (that's 3:00 AM for me)!

It's also really late for me, so i'm just leaving opera on autorefresh for 1hr incnrements so it looks innocent. if you can get on the computer at a :59, then you're fine.

I got it last year at 11:59 pm, while browsing the site, any page. Coincedence really, the PC used to be in my brothers room. Sometimes I would sneak on to play Deadly Dice, luckily, that morning, the sidebar was released!

Oh my! I hope so :)
I certainly love sidebars that come at no cost, or work :P

I really want the halloween sidebar... I don't usually stay up until 12. :P

I hate this :x Why make a sidebar that is only open for 60 seconds? TNT promised us lots of different sidebars, too, but they seem to be going the way of Neoschools >_> Grr.

11:59 pm today or 11:59 pm tomorrow?

Mon Oct 31, 2005 2:56 am

tomorrow ... Halloween just before the stroke of midnight (nst) :evil:

Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:09 am

hmmm, so is that the minute before Halloween, or the last minute of Halloween......LOL

Is it 5 hours from now? or 29 hours from now?

the time diff confuses me, hehe

I am so gonna be on for this I want that sidebar

Mon Oct 31, 2005 3:33 am

The last minute of Halloween, I'm pretty sure. At least I hope so because I'm about to go to bed and have no plans of getting up before 7:30 tomorrow! lol.

That is two a.m. for me... I'm going to set an alarm to get up at 1:45 a.m. instead of waiting up. I was planning on staying up until midnight, until I realized that Neopet's midnight is my two a.m. I hate to have to get up in the middle of the night, but it's worth it. I just hope (really really hope) that I manage to get it!

It's the last minut OF Halloween. I remember having the sidebar all day and then getting the RE out of the blue and thinking 'DUH TNT, I already have it'. Hey, it was the first sidebar, I didn't know we didn't get to keep it :P
