• Nov 20, 2019  To honor the milestone 20th anniversary of Neopets, I (Allegra Frank, associate culture editor) asked two of my Vox colleagues and fellow Neopets fans — podcast producer Byrd Pinkerton and associate identities editor Karen Turner — to join me in reminiscing about what made Neopets so important to us when we were young and just discovering.
• 15th- Neopets' Official Birthday! The anniversary of the site's opening day back in Year One, this is perhaps the biggest celebration of the Neopian year. There are usually all kinds of special treats and perks, such as game scores, automatic adblock for non-Premium members, free spins on the Wheel of Excitement, and item giveaways - some of.

2/2… Of course, there is just so much on the site so it will probably be rolled out piece by piece over time. #NeoAskScrappy

If you’re somehow out of the Flash loop, here’s a quick catchup: Adobe Flash will be completely removed from web browsers by 2020.

Currently, most web browsers ask your permission each time before running Flash-based content, although these settings can be toggled on a per-website basis.

One of the reasons that Neopets moving from Flash to HTML is so critical is that the site, in its current incarnation, is mostly held together by Flash.

The game’s Map of Neopia requires Flash to work, which means that if you don’t have Flash enabled, you can’t easily navigate around the world of Neopets.

Games on Neopets, which are one of the easiest ways to earn the in-game currency of Neopoints, and many Neopets events, such as the prize-giving game Kiko Pop, all of the site’s spin-to-win wheels, and the Qasalan Expellibox, all also need Flash to function.

Converting all the elements on the site to HTML won’t be a quick or easy task, but it’ll be worth it to preserve the site’s legacy.
