Newpets is a rip off and its all about money. Since it was sold they now charge for things like animal clothing, premium services, and now they are instituting buying furniture for houses. Just try their tech support and getting mistakes they do corrected, it is impossible. But if you call about opening an account you get quick service. They only have live operators to take your money, but you must write in to get any other account help, which in some cases has taken months. So your article about this is spot on in my opinion which has plenty of company with other disgruntled former participants. If they make a mistake and lose everything you accumulated for a year which cost you $7.99 a month they don’t even care or make an effort to return it. I consider myself lucky in some ways to be saving the money now and out of that place. I just feel violated by them.

I find it more obvious that you have never played neopets or discussed this with anyone that does play. If you actually did play, you would know that Ppt.com is a totally real website. It is used by MANY neopets users and the forums are very real. Just because younger people use the forums, does not make them counterfeit. I am a proud player of neopets and am 16. Before people judge neopets, they should actually try playing. The Neopets Team (TNT) does try to make money off the site, but not at the expense of creating false information as you accuse them of. You honestly have no idea what you are talking about and should not be questioning sites and people you have no clue about. If you want to contact me, you can sign up for neopets and neomail (email in neopets) at kosmo_kramer. Thanks

Of course it should be obvious to everyone that those “testimonial” posts are written by Neopets promoters themselves. I mean, when someone goes through a long list of talking points to praise a product and discredit all the criticisms – this is not likely to be an actual parent or child, but a PROFESSIONAL SALESMAN is what it reeks of. Add to that the fact that all the regular P2Pnet readers have long since moved on from this article when these ‘imposters’ start showing up.

Ok, so I’m stating the obvious. But just in case some readers failed to catch on. I discovered more than a few P2P users don’t know snake oil when they see it.

I just checked the PPT site but could not find any mention of p2pnet. I assume someone posted in the hidden administrators forum (no doubt their largest section). The PPT forum is laughable. It’s a completely fake forum. By that, I mean it is corporate people posing as customers and enthusiasts. I know what a real forum looks like, and this is a very poor counterfeit job indeed. And these idiots don’t even know enough to cover their tracks.
