Hmm. Has CBC ever interviewed a Neopian from Canada?

You think you people who live across the country have it bad? What about us poor Neopians across the globe ? :roll:

:P

Seriously, it's about time someone set the record straight when it comes to Neopets (even though I never see any of these news reports because they don't get shown here :P )

I've never seen any press relating to Neopets, but I don't really pay that much attention to the news. All the bad things I've heard about the site came via word-of-mouth from disgruntled players (or the disgruntled friends and relatives of players :P ).

I'm suspicious as to why CBS wants to do an interview, though. They've got to have a bigger story in mind than, "Local Neopets user gushes about experience."

I have a place in NYC--does that count? :P

I'd rather not be interviewed, though. I don't really like the outside world to know I play. :P

Same here. Well, not the place in NYC.. I've never even been close to NYC. xD. But the letting the outside world know I play part.. Yeah.. I'd be made fun of for life. :)

lol

BNP? wow, who are you? most of the young people are a bit annoying, no offense. it's a very liberal newspaper. you should contact them to get a good article. i'd totally write one, with the help of some noble PPTers

Thu Jan 05, 2006 7:04 pm

I'm not, but I can move to NY for that. o_o

Hmmm...interesting. Is it too much to hope that the piece will be something other than "Neopets: Evil Brainwashing Enterprise Run By Spacemonkeys" or "Neopets: Happy Fun, Yay!"?

None of the media reports on the game have been anywhere in between. I'd love to see a realistic piece on Neopets in one of the major media outlets, but I'm not holding out too much hope. "Neopets: Interesting Game with Some Issues" probably won't draw many viewers.

I hope some PPTers get interviewed, though.

Yeah, and im a liberal person. Yeah some people are annoying.. Espically the ppl who are new/ or are just writing a one time article. Im 12, and ive been in BNP for about a year now. Nice to see you know. ;).. And yeah, i think a PPT style article about PPT would be great for BNP.

Thu Jan 05, 2006 9:37 pm

Ahh! Thought you were talking about the "other" BNP for a seccond then. Had to scroll up :D *Wipes away sweat*

Heh, if they ever want to interview anyone from Ireland I'll be here waiting. With my I Love Neopets flag. <3

I'd only have a few bad things to say about neopets.

Thu Jan 05, 2006 9:39 pm

Again, if you live in New Jersey, is it still possible? I'm twelve like pokemonfreak27 (whose sig I love--CCS rocks!), but I know a whole lot more about Neopets than certain people who I won't name whose accounts are a lot older than mine.

Unless I'm mistaken, New Jersey is just across the river from NYC. You can even see the Statue of Liberty from New Jersey.
