wasn't Oracle some sort of computer language? Something like that?

the red pteri was showing up for most of the day - the usual maintenance page. That it's not may mean that the problem is bigger than thought or it may just have been pulled while a server's being worked on. You never know!

I highly doubt this was planned by TNT since the site went down around 3AM when their offices are closed.

Oh well...at least it's a good time to catch up on studying...or reading the Neopian Times, which is not down at all...

I agree dogfriend2, when the site went down the lights in the office were off (on the webcam). It was just a weird view of the plushie, it looked like a ghost lol.

Or even better Raditz, why not write a piece for the Times like I've done today for the first time ever! I hope it gets in, I want the trophy

Heres my guess of what happened...

Adam: We are totally out of asparagus!
Piratezug: Oh no! What about the artichokes?
Adam: Out
Piratezug: Carrots?
Adam: None
Piratezug: Pirate Booty?
Adam: It's ON you.
Piratezug: *Stands up and looks at his behind* Oh thank goodness!
Donna: What'll we do! We're trapped in our HQ with no food and an inch of snow outside!
Adam: We'll go shopping! But there are too many paparazzi outside! We must have defense! Mr. Insane and Cookie! Stay here!
Mr. Insane: We'll sick our ATTACK LLAMAS on em!
Adam:...*Gets into the Neomobile*
*At the supermarket*
Adam: We must stock up on carbs and transfat and hibernate!
Donna:...LOOK ADAM! TOILET PAPER!
Adam: Haha! I'm not falling for that one anymore!
Donna: It has asparagus-prints!
Adam:*Runs to go look at the toilet paper*
Adam: CHARMIN! LESS IS MORE!*Grabs a package and goes into the bathroom*
Donna: Okay, we need Oreos.
Piratezug: Where's me booty?
Donna:...and we need pudding.
Piratezug: WHERES ME BOOTY?
Donna:...
Piratezug: Oh here it is!*looks at his behind*
Donna: And we need asparagus and artichokes and some other vegetables.
*20 minutes later*
Mr Roboto: Domo Arigatou Mr. Roboto!
Donna:...you DID get the artichokes right?
Mr Roboto: *Holds up an artichoke*
Donna: Okay, wheres the asparagus?
Mr roboto: *Holds up some asparagus*
Donna: Where's the oreos? In fact where's pirate zug?!
*Insert insane laughter*
*Everyone runs to the snack aisle*
Piratezug: I SAY! ITS MY PIRATE BOOTY!*Stuff more pirate booty snacks into his mouth while fighting busboys with his sword*
Donna:...
*1 hour later, and after alot of explaining*
*Back at HQ...*
Donna: OMG THE WHOLE PLACE IS BURNED DOWN!
Mr. Insane: ALL YOUR NEOPETS ARE BELONG TO THE PAPARAZZI NOW
Donna:...
Donna: Where's cookie then?
Mr. Insane: Oh i ate her.
Donna:...
Tigercatcher: Look! I caught a tiger!*holds up a housecat*
Donna: I think i'm going to die...WHERE'S ADAM?!
*Back at the supermarket*
Adam:*hands are covered in poop* doo doo doo! Im all done! Charmin says less is more! So i wiped my fancy with no toilet paper!"
Busboys: TACKLE HIM!

I have too much time on my hands huh?

Oracle is a big software company--our biggest competitor, in fact (I work for a company that installs PeopleSoft). So, the "Oracle" referred to in a previous post is probably some sort of software.

And, hey, the red pteri is so much better to look at than the angry green usul we used to have--I will never forget those eyes as long as I live.

Kirby, you should re-write that, check for any spelling/punctuation errors then send it to the neopian times. Titled something like "Down for maintenance - the true story" lol. It's pretty funny! Random... But funny

I remember that! Now that was scary. I do hope Neopets comes back soon though. I wonder what exactly went wrong though. Hmm...

I don't like Usuls anyway, but that Usul... *shivers*

this is forcing me to have to go study...

arg! I want my np!!!

Ah Morningstar! Our voice of reason in the wilderness (and one of the few people who can write a post as big as I do!) Thanks for that. I knew I had seen or heard the word Oracle, just couldn't remember exactly what - technically challenged here. that maintenance page Usul! Oh that almost made me put my usul up for adoption!

I know what it was ... the evil banner ads They slowly multiplied from the original 3% of ads and have taken over the entire Neo server system!

I think I must be getting punchy from lack of games ... need flash games, need my pets.

Oh well, I still think it's better that they stay down until whatever's going on is completely fixed. It's sounding like they really don't have a choice in the matter if even the red pteri's not showing up. That sounds like big time server stuff to me! Poor people having to work on this, oy! Sends them good thoughts, wishes I could send them some coffee, jolt cola, candy bars, pizza with extra cheese, mushrooms and asparagus and of course some good mexican food and whatever else they all need to get through.

I member that one..I would not want to meet her in a dark ally

I wouldnt mind so much if I didn't get this when I clicked on meerca chase (Its one of the game choices to play while you wait.)

"Neopets Image Server

Sorry, the file you are looking for is not here "

br00ster, you know I've never, ever been able to get the games on that page to load? All I've gotten is a blank white screen no matter what.

That you got that message really is saying there's big time server stuff going on
