I had two neopets homepages which I still can't access, because everytime I try to get my account unfrozen, I end up talking to a bot named Blake who tells me that my original freaking sign up email with the exact date and time I created the account isn't proof. Unfortunately, "can you put me through to a real human?" doesn't work :(

Neopets was just plain html, but you weren't allowed to say damn or hell and I think there may have been some tags you couldn't use. A lot of pages had a GeoCities vibe, there were custom usermade templates that were very 2000s sparkly. You could customise your shop and put profiles as well I believe. Very garish.

They even had a Neodrive online storage in the early days, I don't think I ever used it though.
