Hello All, Thanks for reading this.
I've been a visitor of CreateBlog for almost a year now, {And I will say, exellent myspace layouts :)} and I was thinking, I cannot make proper Myspace, Blog, ect. Layouts..BUT I am wonderfully good at NEOPET layouts..So, would it be possible if I made those kind of layouts? If not, I'll just go back to being a visitor :)

Toodles,

Welcome to cB! My name is Shelby.
You know, thats actually a very good idea. I don't use neopets anymore, but I can make layouts. You should suggest it to a Mod!

I think this is a great IDEA... getting the Neopets community to come to CB. :]

I used to <3 Neopets. :D

Well, I'm not really into Neopets or anything, but I don't think that having a Neopets layout section is a bad idea. I'm always looking for new ways to bring new members to this site. There are millions of users on Neopets, and having a Neopets layout section would open the door to hoards of new people joining the site.


I got this idea here:

Yes, there are. Check out these statistics:



60% of Neopet's 1,000,000+ members are over 13 years of age. Please stop shilling BS and start stating facts. Yes, Neopets does allow younger children to join the site, but the majority of those members are 13+. Also, I doubt the majority of members who are younger than 13 years of age will be surfing the web for information regarding HTML for their Neopets layouts.




The average user spends 5 hours and 24 minutes per month. It seems as if members on the site are pretty active. I see your point, and I'm going through the youth studies that Neopets has offered it's members... hopefully they will provided some data as to what demo graphics took the study. At the moment I have come up with this:

In 2002 80% of the people who participated in the survey were 18 years old and under (roughly 12,000).

This means that about 3000 of them were over 18 years of age. These people are all active users (active enough to take the youth survey). With such a large number of responses the margin of error is very low. This is a fairly accurate representation of what the demographic for the active user over age of 18 would be.

This also corresponds with the percentage of users over 18 being 21% (2006). Yes, I know that this was in 2004, but Neopets has only grown since then. The demographic probably hasn't changed. I can only imagine that the active members who are 13+ would still hold about 60% of the websites active population.

That's about 18,000,000 people... even if you cut that by 75% to get a guesstimate of how many active members their are it's still 4,500,000 people. There aren't many Neopets layout sites, and I think that it would boost traffic to the site like crazy.

Actually I think it is a good idea as well. There are many users on Neopets who area always looking for layouts to set up their user look up page. Even though Neopets is not a blog, it will bring a lot more people to here.

You can make shop layouts:

Profile layouts:
http://neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=gammaboy13

Pet layouts:
http://neopets.com/search.phtml?selected_t...ring=biter_face

This would really boot the traffic on CB.

I think this is a good idea too. We'd have to get Jusun on board to do the preview template coding. And we'd need people that knew how to code the layouts.

Well it's all basic HTML stuff... I'm sure you guys could make it more interesting.... XD

While, yes, this would definitely promote traffic to createBlog, my main (and only) concern is the maturity/age of the potential new members.

^Thats what I told him on the phone

That, and the age thing are my biggest worries. I've seen Neopets profiles with coding, but I've never seen anything like a template or a possible tutorial on how to code such a thing.

Other than that, it seems like a great idea. :]

You guys bring up a good point.
I don't want tons of little kids.
I'd just thought I'd put that out there.

Hey there, I'm Jane. Welcome to Createblog! Neopets? I LOVE Neopets! I think that would be a great idea. If you'd like, you can share this idea in the Feedback forum. That way, other members/mods will be able to give opinion about that as well. PM me if you need anything. Happy posting!

I personally love Neopets. I'm all for this idea. I think it would be fun if we supported the site as well. I'm sure there are SOME neopet designers somewhere on here. A lot of people go on Neopets, it could spark some more views.

Hii! My name is Ann, welcome to createBlog, and nice to meet you! :) I used to play Neopets. It was funny. If you need any assistance, feel free to PM me.

Shuweet! Nice to meet ya'll.
Yeah, thats a good idea. I'll post it in feedback..Neopets IS Addicting!
Hey, if you want, I have an example of my layouts on neopets...it's my default layout.
look me up--shizzle_fizzle.
Mmkk...going to feedback :D

Exactly!
I LOVE NEOPETS..
And making stuff for it :D

I know how to code..well, my own style sheet anyways..here's an example of my current layout {with the code}





Thats the stylesheet I use, as an example, and, here's a screenshot--



So yeah..hehe.
Toodles!

Please thumb your image.

Eh well the neopet layouts, its not hard to code at all, its really basic..

Although a lot of them look really crappy from what I've just seen

Yea I have to admit I do like neopets, I always go on there and try to get a poogle but I'm furious because I can't ever get one and then I quit for a while.

I never really found why their layouts where ever really important though..

I never really saw why they were so important, either.. I'm not for it. They're so easy to make, I don't see a big need in them. Basically anyone can acquire a stylesheet and enter in a couple of hex codes. And the whole idea of having little kids (even though some people may consider me one) here doesen't really appeal to me..

^exactly, and if you guys look at the code above, I'm pretty positive people can see its not that hard.

I mean I'm sure theres stylesheets on the internet that we can give links too and more than likely they can google for one and find it..

I think this is the first or maybe second time I've ever heard anything about neopets so I don't find it to be to big of thing.

Ziggy - How old are you exactly? Welcome to createblog, please remember to read over the community guidlines and not to double post theres a edit button on each of your posts if you would like to add anything..


Also you've only been on neopets for a month? Thats odd, since a lot of people after a couple of months lose a lot of interest in neopets..from what I've seen

I'm 13.
And thats my layout-tester account.
I've played Neopets for 3 years, quit, played again.
--And yeah, sorry, it's a bad habit.

I agree with this possibly being too directed towards children of younger age than you would usually find here in createBlog.

The age of people around here is usually 13+, and "PG-13" content would definitely be expected here. Neopets, I believe, attracts more people in the 12 and under age range.

Attracting people at the age of 12 and under to createBlog isn't really a good idea, especially when it says "you must be 13 or older" right in the registration form.
