Featheralley probably got sick of everyone insulting her or claiming that she was cheating, ect. I know with some of the things I've read on the Neoboards over the years I would have quit by now. Although like quite a lot of people will probably start to log on again when a proper War appears. ^^
On the subject of Pets becoming Hungrier faster... -_- For about 3 months (maybe 4) I wasn't on Neopets a lot and therefore was unable to feed them at all - I was on about once I week... and even back then if you fed them up to Bloated they'd be Dying when you logged back on. So I just stopped. Recently though I've been on quite a bit and I've been feeding them... and noticed the hungry-ness. -_-
I have four Neopets... unlike the average 1.4 Neopets (XD I really want to see what half a Neopet looks like) and it's becoming harder. I used to get my Active Pet bloated via. the Healing Springs every other day or so... I'm lucky now if that happens once a week. Food is hard to come by (I used up all of my saved Omelettes just before I realised it wasn't worth feeding my pets once a week) and it's getting harder. I'm glad I'm rubbish at the Luna Cycle though as I am getting extra food from the Luna Temple.
Almost makes up for the fact I catch about one edible Item from Fishing if I'm lucky. ¬.¬ Almost.
Meh. Life's getting harder... I remember when I just had three Neos... I just had to be a good person and adopt a pet for Christmas and find her a new home... and I just had to fail. Oh well, wouldn't abandon any of them for the World. Or Neopia.
