"ImproveNeo, the greasemonkey script, is a script that, among other things, deletes ads, recommends stocks, and facilitates easier look-up of shop wiz prices. It also makes browsing the site easier in general."
Using an outside script to influence your playing of the Neopets site is against the Neopets.com T&C. In particular, inflating stock prices by directing groups of users into buying specific tickers is breaking a particularly golden rule in the Neopets.com T&C.
Whether or not your facility is 'valid' or not is neither here nor there. It is completely against the Neopets.com T&C as much as autobuyers and programmes interfering with the Flash games. In the new Neopets.com T&C, such breaches can cause a $5,000 (USD) fine to be issued.

- I was thinking the same thing myself. I can see the value of having this in the NeoDex, in that someone tried to use coding to undermine Neopets coding. Your program seems to be grey area, and i will have to see what will come of it in the next few weeks, and what the official word is from Neopets is on this. :(
- i do have to say though...it's quite the accomplishment to make something like this.--Jacob 18:59, 15 Apr 2006 (CDT)

- While true, this is highly irrelevant. To be more specific, the script tells you ALL stocks at 15. It doesn't attempt to influence the group by recommending one stock.
