Yeh I'm a girl I was into Neopets. But I never considered it a girl thing. What interested me about Neopets was that I flew to California when I was 13 (now 27) to visit my cousin (same age as me) and I followed her along to one of her routine babysitting jobs, two young Asian girls 8,10. I don't know if their parents were software developers, but they were extremely well off with a beautiful mansion in the hills of San Juan Capistrano. Their girls were a fraction of my age but we're on Neopets opening up wen frameworks and coding and doing stuff I didn't understand at the time. I was amazed at what they could do. I think the coolest thing about Neopets was it provided a real time economic system and allowed people to actually experiment with businesses and profit. Furthermore, it was not easy to be rich, and I traveled far and wide for rare items to resell. I would love to see a new game like Neopets come back again in a more mature fashion adults could get into, merely for an to engage in economic experimentation. I learned more about the hustle in Neopets than I did anywhere in school until I hit the real world after college. About every three of four years I remember Neopets and check on Lara, she's on the brink of starvation but not quite dead yet, a small snack keeps her going for another few years. Really low maintenance pets on the whole.
