Neopoints Guide

and I have already added some of them back and I got offline to see if they were paying out, I come back and I've got over 4000 np that I didn't have before, so it looks like it's still working

same here.. now if we could just figure out the others =] that'd be awesome

[lindseycron0]

okay, they're all paying out and they're paying out within 20 minutes like they used to.... yay!!!!! it's back over 50k just for the sponsor links plus any extras that you do

[missez_rage]

thats lovely , thanks a bunch! im so happy now! yesssss !

[tanzilynn]

I'm so glad they are all paying out again! Thanks for all you're hard work on this linds!

[Stargem83]

woohoo!! I can get my bank account back up again I'm down to less than 200K from christmas shopping! Thanks so much linds!

[Stargem83]

ok Linds, love, Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE The site!!! I made over 80K last night!!!! I kept forgetting how many time's I'd click a sponsor link if it had to be done more than once so I just started over the counting, on quite a few of them Thanks so much for putting that list together Linds

well, this guide is a pain in the behind for me.... but instead of checking for new ones, I'm going to spend one day a week working on finding new ones or all I'd be doing is checking on links

I'm glad it's so helpful, cuz it seems like I'm the only person that has them up anymore... I think either they don't know they can post them since the petpages can't or they think it's a glitch like a ton of people say on the boards

They answered that question in the Neopian Times too.

I would be upset if they took away all the sponser links.

[BunnyRabt]

Same here, Stargem. My bank account was seriously deficient. But now using Lindsey's wonderful links I'm getting it built back up! What is nice is that now I can play the games I LIKE instead of the big payout games because I need the nps. Thanks so much, Lindsey!

[lindseycron0]

well, I know there's currently a big payout because of a bunch of links that don't really link anywhere, so because of what TNT said in the neopian times and what they had previously responded to garmfay I'm going to remove all invalid links, even if they currently payout

I do agree that it's not fair for sponsors to be paying tnt for clicks that don't go anywhere because the page no longer exists... it's better to link to active pages, so that's what I'll be doing. It will drop the payout down some, but it will still be a decent payout

I also am thankful for these sponsor links because the nature of games on neopets anymore makes it nearly impossible for younger kids to ever build up much until they turn 16... they can't play gambling/casino games, which is a very large majority of the games on neopets and most of the other games are so difficult for small ones that they can't grasp the concepts to do very well... most of the trophy holders on neopets are older users so these young kids (for whom neopets was originally created) can't succeed very well at all in this virtual world... poor things

hopefully this will even the score somewhat

Actually at its in ception, Neopets was supposed to be for bored college students.

hahaha, I can see how that's true but at least younger kids could play it back then, it has since grown so complex that I don't understand how anyone under the age of 16 can do anything at all

[dlfreak]

With Neopets Jr. of course!

BTW, I changed the Like DL page so that it links to your site now!

good point, which makes it weird why they still advertise as a childrens site... lol oh well...

and thanks!

I just thought I would post this here, as I have on my site:

First, my Neopoints Guide is now only available to registered users that are logged in. If you're not registered or you're not logged in, it will show a "you are not authorized to view this resource" error message when you click on the link (yes, I left the link as an incentive to people)

Second, I have posted a warning at the top of the links section to use at your own risk. Why? Because TNT may have addressed the question regarding the sponsor links, but they never actually answered it. They never said you would be frozen if you followed a list of sponsor links, but they never said you wouldn't. If they really really don't want us to follow them, they will give us warnings. Still, they could decide to crack down on it and start tossing warnings around all over the place. There is a possibility and I wouldn't feel right if people followed the links ignorant to that fact. I know Tanzi doesn't even read the NT Editorial so she had no clue it was even brought up. So what about other people that are the same way? It's my responsibility to make sure they know.

If anyone gets frozen for following the links, I'll be one of the first, because I will not post anything on my site that I personally would not do myself.

That being said, I have to get back to finding more links... they seem to be popping up out of the wood work right now.

Edit: nevermind, because I had members totally flipping out over the warning, I have removed every one of the direct links.

R.I.P. <50,000 NP per day on that

my site is going to suffer terribly since most people visited for those links. I have instead posted the banners that pay out and any pages on Neopets that have redirections. I'm trying to see which ones pay out and which ones don't. Believe me when I say that TNT will get error reports from me every single day that something doesn't pay out if it's supposed to. Maybe they'll start doing their jobs then.

[BunnyRabt]

Oh POOH. I guess I did mine today in the nick of time, huh? Oh well....it was nice while it lasted.

[lindseycron0]

yeah, cuz now I'm totally dependent on non-premium users to send me the banner source codes, I went on every single account of mine, which was 3 and I didn't have banners on any of them, so I created a new one (that I didn't activate and I donated the 200 np to the money tree) just so I could see the banners and still nothing... I just don't get it and it's so frustrating to know that there's over 60k I could earn each day (and I wasn't even halfway through my list of links) that I can't get because I could maybe possibly be frozen if TNT decides to be butts about it

[thebestpianist]

Well, I really enjoyed the links you provided. I'll keep an eye out for those banners as well. I wish these things were a little more consistent, it seems like sponsor links always tend to go down when I start to use them lol.

[lindseycron0]

I know, it's the same for me. When I first started using them the payout was around 20k, then it dropped down to around 5 or so if I was lucky including the Hidden NP ones. They rose back up and then TNT starts this crud all because of one particular user... I really can't stand that person either and I would almost love to meet them in person so I could give them a piece of my mind without repercussions from the virtual community

I was back up over 60k and though TNT never told me, too many of my members were worried about it. I knew it was only a matter of time that someone would report me to TNT and then everyone might get frozen if they followed them. Stinks, all these other sites have the actual Hidden NP swf files posted up and though it's not on the Neopets site, they still pay out but I can't even risk doing that since my site is monitored so heavily for anything that could possibly be wrong with it.
