Another homage?

I don't get it...what specifically makes that a reference to PPT? All she says is "what is that". So what if they used a pink poogle plushie?

And it wouldn't even be possible to make an avatar exclusive to members of an outside fansite.

I don't see how that can be true at all.

Like has been said before, it's a subtle reference, or so they think. Besides, think about it- Why a Pink Poogle Plushie? There and hundreds of other different combinations they could have picked, like Island Koi, for instance- but they SPECIFICALLY picked Pink Poogle Plushies.

Yes, it would, but it would not be well received by the rest of the players.

This site is great, but I'll have to agree with what Scythemantis said.

Hrmm, no, there's no way an avatar on neopets could recognize PPT forumers.

How about the "Squeezable" avatar?
It has a hand Squeezing a Pink Poogle toy.
And it says "Banner Ads".
Then again..... "Frozen Accounts".
Then "SQUEEZABLE!"

Ok, I couldn't resist:

They could totally release something like this. Though they really couldn't make it excusive to PPT members. But they could definately make something like that. It wouldn't be totally obvious that it's for us, but we'd know (that's why the poogle is winking).

(By the way, if someone wants to use that somewhere, you can, just don't direct link from me, or I'll chew your face off)

ahh, Sapphyfwarie always so funny.

I think, more or less the idea here is not to show favouritism for other sites. But I don't think the avatar would stretch that by any means(someone already mentioned the Soup Faerie Avatar). Now, if there was a 133700 av..now that even I'd say would be hopping a few stones too far.

Ahh, just wake me up when they released the Xil avatar. *rolls over*

I actually noticed that when I read the magazine. I was going to post, but didn't get around to it. I'm pretty sure it is a reference.

Mon Dec 27, 2004 5:29 pm

I love it when they make reference to us! I wonder why we catch their attention?

Probably because we're so special and luvable and hugable and skweezable and pleasable...

Actually, forget that last one...

What if we get the chance to make our own avatar? I mean, everyone will get this little Photoshop thingy on Neopets.com and then we can choose boarders, color, make your own picture....pasting...copying.

That'd be great! *Hint hint*

It makes me feel great when the acknowledge us like this

remember when they showed that neoschools picture with the teacher, and on the blackboard it said detention for ppt! good times... good times...

Yeah, the whole point of avatars is personalization and the point is ruined when you can only choose from an existing set of them. Course, they would only let us copy/paste stuff from neopets pictures, to keep people from drawing anything "obscene"...

Yeah! That was the best. I enjoyed that very much so.

I feel as if somehow in some wacked out universe, I made some sort of difference. Kind of.

we still need a SUPER pink poogle toy though...

Ah! Scythemantis. You must be from Toon Zone. Remember this?:

"Touche Scythemantis, touche"

That was from Animelee, my older brother. Glad to finally meet you.

Oh yeah. People can draw body parts that nobody wants to see. Yeckh! It'd be cool if they allowed us to choose items or staff members. that'd be cool.
