I think I'm just going to lie here and remember just how much I suck at ordinary NeoLife. Fair or not, this still reeks. For me.

Those links were a great help to me when I started my new job a few months ago, as I didn't have much time to play games to earn NP anymore. I still don't. *sigh* Looks like my income's taking another hit whether I like it or not.

But I'm not gonna risk clicking any of the links until I know exactly what is going on. This whole ordeal has made me realize once again that games and restocking exist.
Guess I'm being paranoid. I don't wanna click on what may get me iced. :\

I don't have the time to sit down and play hundreds of games each day, spend hours restocking or sniping...and I know a lot of other people who don't either. That doesn't mean we don't do these things at all, but we do it less than people who do have the time. We still enjoy Neopets grandly (some of us even pay for premium services), we just don't have as much time to 'play'.

Ok. There are people on the boards saying that TNT told them that sponsor links are no longer allowed to make NP. There are other people saying that Petpages linking to the sponsor links aren't allowed but that an offsite page, or having the links bookmarked would be OK. Still other people say that the sponsor links are now a "glitch" if you manage to get the NP from them... and abusing a glitch is freezable. So, what's the deal here? Are sponsor links taboo now? Are they OK as long as you don't have a Petpage linking to them? Can I still visit all the sponsor pages and get my free NP without getting frozen? And, if the links aren't viable and we aren't supposed to visit them, why do they still give out NP? ~kalis_coraven
Erm, any sponsor link that you click on in a sponsor game or activity is valid. You will still get the Neopoints and you won't be frozen for clicking on them (we are providing the links, after all). There was, however, a large number of Petpages that were hoarding old sponsor links that we'd removed and linking to them even though they were no longer valid. As such, we've had to disable the posting of these links. You will need to visit the areas yourself and click on the links if you want the rewards.
