Editing The Daily Neopets

 

'''The Daily Neopets''', or TDN (and previously 'TheDailyNeopets'), is a [[Neopets]] fan site which began in late 2005. Formerly a subsidiary of [[PinkPT]], for which the owner and administrator of TDN, Ian, had previously run a commentary, it was bought its own domain name by Yukio. As PinkPT did not post unreleased Neopets news at the time, TheDailyNeopets' main purpose was to do so. Over the coming year, TDN blossomed into a fully independent fan site, with its servers formerly based in the lounge room of its Administrator, Tipem, in [[Wikipedia:Ohio|Ohio]], [[Wikipedia:USA|USA]]. Now, however, it is hosted on external servers to compensate for disruptions.

The Daily Neopets boasts features other fan sites may not offer. Along with updated and helpful content, the latest unreleased Neopets news and a [[dailies]] list that's even more popular than it's main page, it had its own Editorial so that regular [[Neopians]] that cannot get their question answered officially can receive a helpful reply. Unfortunately, the editorial was cancelled, to the disappointment of many users. The Daily Neopets is also one of the few Neopets fan sites to offer a complete, step-by-step [[Altador Plot]] guide with many readers. An [[Avatar]] Lending Account was set up to reward its readers with aid to get the most sought after avatars for use on the [[Neoboards]]. With a first attempt at this proving unsuccessful, two loyal members of the sites forum offered to revive the service. The Avatar Lending Service is now very popular and has led to other sites - such as NL Avatars - following up on it's success. The "Where's Jerry?" plot (See below) was a big hit, and TDN's first plot. The second plot was titled "The Scattering of the Stars" and received equal prestige. Recently, TDN has added several new features including their new Y3 layout and [http://www.battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com tdnBP] where users can now enjoy a pleasing to the eye, easy-to-use, and up-to-date battlepedia. Also with the new Y3 layout, [http://www.avatars.thedailyneopets.com NeoAvatars] was released. NeoAvatars is TDN's very own avatar checklist, and has been a huge success since it's release! Another massive project for TDN is [http://customize.thedailyneopets.com/ TDN Customization], released in September 2008. New projects are in the works.

On June 1, 2006, The Daily Neopets began an on-site plot to find Jerry, the red [[Pteri]], their mascot. Set up by Samuel, a former staff member, the plot involved various puzzles and was quite challenging. At the start of the plot, Bob the Detective [[Wocky]] was introduced as the crime-fighting guru. The solutions of the plot were held in topmost secrecy, with the threat of disqualification used as a deterrence to spreading them. After much working at different clues all around the site for two weeks, the final part was released and everyone rushed to finish. After the prizes were awarded, Jerry was returned to the banner safe and sound, and the Jerry-napper, [[Commander Garoo]], was apprehended.
