'''The Neopets Team''' (''TNT'' for short) are the official employees of Neopets Inc. who work on the [[Neopets (website)|website]]. Their official user account [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=theneopetsteam theneopetsteam] is the only account in which the TNT will official contact users through [[NeoMail]], a fact strengthened all the more with the ''TNT'' [[avatar]] (which shares the same abbreviation of [[Wikipedia:Trinitrotoluene|Trinitrotoluene]]), used only by the The Neopets Team.

'''The Neopets Team''', or '''TNT''', are the staff members employed to work on the ''[[Neopets]]'' website. The term includes all the creative, programming and support staff, as well as the site monitors and localisation teams.
 
Official [[Neomail]] messages and [[Neoboard]] posts come from the official Neopets user account, [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=theneopetsteam theneopetsteam], identifiable by their unique exploding [[Wikipedia:Trinitrotoluene|TNT]] avatar. Individual staff members have their own work accounts for testing things, separate to their private accounts they can play with. Staff work accounts have a tag on the bottom of their [[user lookup]] identifying their position - monitor, lawyer, writer, and so on. Other accounts are set up by TNT for specific, automated tasks, like creating [[Auction]]s.
 
The TNT are featured in the game [[TNT Staff Smasher]].

In addition to running the website, TNT members and their on-site personas have been involved in several site events.
