==Thanks for the help==
I thank you for your determination to revert the vandalism which is occuring here on on the NeoDex. It's beginning to be a daily event now, though i'm sure it will stop soon...eventually it will...hopefully. :o *crosses fingers* :D --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 11:55, 10 Mar 2007 (CST)


Due to the amount of items sold in each shop, and the continuous change, we do not recommend listing out items for every shops in Neodex. One example is the [[NC mall]], where everybody got scared and tired of continuously updating it. *cold sweat* --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 16:49, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

==NeoDex Search Plugin==
Can you explain more about the "Neodex Search Plugin"? This the first I've heard about it. Is it a project you worked at on the side? --[[User:Jacob|Jacob]] 15:51, 16 Sep 2007 (UTC)
:As I mentioned, it's nothing much. It allows the user to add the Neodex to their search bar within Firefox 2 and IE 7, thus allowing them to search for an article on Neodex directly from the browser itself. If required, we can also add search suggestions to the search (eg. typing "neo" returns "neopets", "neopoints" and "neodex"), but for that we'll require at least a database.
:It's something I noticed while setting up Firefox 2 at my workplace. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] 00:45, 17 Sep 2007 (UTC)


I would like to properly thank you for your assistance during the past several days. :)
== Access to Secret Staff Forum Granted ==


The whole Neodex came to a slow down, and I myself is not able to contribute much on it due to another side project (which is taking longer than usual). It is nice to see another editor who is still actively developing the Neodex. --[[User:SwordFire|SwordFire]] <sup>( [[User talk:SwordFire|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/SwordFire|contrib]] )</sup> 02:51, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello :) As a staff member at PPT, you have now been granted access to the top secret staff board at PPT for you to meet all the other staff members, and to partake in any site discussion that goes there. We also hold optional weekly meetings online if you wish to attend and find help for any PPT-related projects that you may be on.


==About my edits==
All PPT staff now has access, and we need some NeoDex representation there, so head to http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/ - register an account and email me kym@kymhuynh.com your username there so I can grant you access. Hope to see you there. --[[User:Yukio|Kym]] 06:54, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

==My Response==
==Anti-spam==
*When you click 'explore' and click 'weather', you can notice a general weather pattern, that Lost Desert is always hot, Terror Mountian is always cold, Haunted Woods is cool, Maraqua is relatively cold, etc. I've been on Neopets for 4 years so I've noticed the pattern.

==Release Dates==
Nice anti-vandal double-teaming, today! ^^ --[[User:Macbeth|Macbeth]] 18:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to remind you that for release dates, we generally use the date at the top of the [[Neopets (website)#New Features|New Features]] post in which the game/colour/feature was annouced.  For example, you gave the release date of the [[Chocolate]] [[Kyrii]] as August 29, 2009.  However, the Chocolate Kryii was annouced on the New Features post for September 1, 2009, so I would expect that date to be recorded in the Neodex.  The reason we use the New Features date is so that, in the future, other users can go to Neopets' archive of New Features and confirm the release dates as needed.  Please let me know if you have any questions - [[User:Emeraldosprey|Emeraldosprey]]

Long problem-filled version: As you may remember, I resigned a few months ago. So I don't know if the deletion I performed can be considered legitimate. Problem is, nobody ever removed my powers from me. I messaged Kym a few days ago about that. It would be nice if you could tell me what I am supposed to do and if I should restrain myself from sysop actions. --Demon 01:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Once you became sysop, you became a Neodex slave forever, muahaha! ;P
Jokes aside, I agree that we should remove the sysop permission for inactive accounts (> 3~6 months?) and clearly resigned users, in case of account hijack. If they return again, we could add the sysop permission again. At the moment, if any one of us (sysop) go rouge, we might as well kill the whole Neodex (you know, due to lack of active Neodex administrator to stop rouge sysop in time). :P

Hehe, thanks mate :) Would be nice if you could also address the inactivity of User:NeoEva88 alongside with me.
Looks like we really have got some activity problems at Neodex :/ At the moment, I do not intend to return (due to me being busy with lessons and real life) and as far as I can see, most of the others aren't very active either. We have like 5 active users at one time at most, of which maybe two are sysops *sigh* What are you gonna do, it has always been like that as far as I can remember. I am glad there are still a few (you, Dizzy and Emeraldosprey) who keep the thing running. Good job, guys :D *hands cookies* --Demon 23:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi guys, thanks for the pokes. I made all the changes requested and have removed sysop powers from inactive accounts identified. I usually reply to emails and PMs at 12 PM and 4 PM every day. If I haven't replied to any of your messages in three days, feel free to send it again.--Kym 02:17, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Kym, I don't really think this is a good idea because the inactive editors may come back sooner or later and will be shocked to see that they no longer have admin powers. Destiny Charlotte 02:23, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Don't worry. :) The accounts I sent to Kym are truly inactive or retired. If you're wondering, the only inactive account which I sent to Kym does not have any edit since 2006. *Pointing to NeoEva88, mentioned by Demon* --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 19:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Ahhh, so that's how it went down. MWA HA HA HA HA!!! *ahem* Will go and try some things out to help. --Jacob 20:34, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Thank you for your help

Ah, you're welcome! I myself have been kind of obsessed with Neopets lately, so why not help the Neodex with all these new things I've learned on Neopets and add them to NeoDex ;D Charlotte xoxo 03:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and the only active editors right now are you, me, and KyogreOfTheSea who helps out with the Daily Puzzle answers :D -- This comment was left unsigned by A Neezles A (talk | contribs)
And of course, Dizzy and Emeraldosprey.
That vandalism made by Hagrid was annoying, wasn't it? ;) -- This comment was left unsigned by A Neezles A (talk | contribs)
And I could be very scary when annoyed. In worst cases, I'm willing to block the whole ISP for extended period of time (which I did it before). --SwordFire ( talk | contrib ) 18:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm currently an active user too. :P And also, would it be appropriate for the vandalized pages to be move-protected? I predict that the vandal would be back sometime later on. Pinkgirl34 22:35, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Yep, you were right. Hagrid is back on Wheeler user, but luckily Dizzy blocked him and moved all pages to what it was. Destiny Charlotte 02:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
That was fast. :) Pinkgirl34 02:12, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Um, SwordFire, the vandalism attack came back on User:Tewapack and User:Willy on Wheels. Willy on Wheels? Wikipedia vandaliser-- I should have known! Destiny Charlotte 15:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
And if you or any admin can PLEASE restore my userpage and talk page to the way it was! Destiny Charlotte 15:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Yeah. I'm waking up earlier than usual just to find some vandalism to revert. Luckily there's an early bird around ;D Destiny Charlotte 03:10, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
BTW, the weekend is coming up. If many people aren't on then I'll be there to revert the vandalism. And also, for some reason I wake up earlier on the weekends ;D Destiny Charlotte 03:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Yup, he's back on Jpgordon. Destiny Charlotte 17:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
