TNT was kind enough to give a hint in this week's editorial to the elusive Bonju avatar:
Better be quick, this avatar won't last,
If your Neopet doesn't know how to cook,
then they'd better learn fast!
If your Neopet doesn't know how to cook,
then they'd better learn fast!
A few Neopians have figured it out today, but haven't shared their secret quite yet. The editorial implies that the avatar will only be available for a few more days, likely until the last day of August. Other hints in the editorial included the username mangoju1ce and the mention of Blumaroo Steak.
Update: The solution was found:
Another Update: Prices for this book have shot up dramatically today, of course. The book is only rarity 50, so more copies should restock. Orange Juice is a frequent prize on the Dice-A-Roo game, also a prize for Gormball. Blumaroo Steak is a low-rarity Spooky Food, it is sometimes given as a booby prize on Test Your Strength.

Celebrate the summer with the new Ti-Key board!
More exciting news! The first Mysterious Morphing Experiment has reached its final stage and has turned into a flower with either a blue or orange butterfly. If you bought one, you'll find the previous stages in you inventory, or you'll recieve them soon, If you're lucky, you'll also recieve a bonus item. To find more about MME's, check out our guide!
I always thought butterflies evolved from caterpillars, not worms, though...

We got some very hot news today. Our little snooping bot has found a new colour. TNT is working on a new colour called Magma. Unfortunately there are no pictures yet, so we can only guess how this new colour will look like. Thanks to neocolours.de for this news.
Meerca Day is coming up on Aug, 18th and here are a preview of the new Ghost and Striped Meerca that will be released. Thanks to neocolours.de for the images.
It seems there's a new Avatar! You can get this one by playing the game Nimmo's Pond. We're not sure about the required score to get the avatar yet, but we'll keep you updated on that part! For now, it's know someone got it for a score the went over 4000.
At least I'm easier to get than Bonju!
Edit: It seems the first user getting the avatar got it for a score of 4060 points. The real required score might be lower though. Thanks to ieatmuffintops for pointing this out to us and congrats to her on being the first known player to get the avatar
Edit 2: We're almost sure the score has to be 4000+ to get the avatar. Thanks to everyone mailing us with information about it!

Today it has been exactly three years to the day since the Chef Bonju avatar was released - and still no one has figured out how to get it! Nobody knows, but many theories are suggesting that Chef Bonju avatar is only available on 8th August, blumaroo day. Today is that special day, and Sunnyneo is hosting Chef Bonju theory boards on the avatar chat! Come and join us and post how you think it's possible to get this mysterious avatar!
3 years and you STILL haven't found me?

They've released the new Darigan Dodgeball game under the New Game Challenge. This time the AAA and Abigail prizes are both wearable. Check out our New Game Challenge Guide to see the prizes.
Who says Darigan Kikos don't exist? Can't you see me?

Feeling rather sneaky, or perhaps just silly? Try one of our new userlookups with a ZDAP or Roo theme today!
Better use this lookup before I steal it!

Our webhost has scheduled maintenance of our server in the night of Thursday, August 6th to Friday, August 7th. The maintenance will occur between 10:00 PM - 04:00 AM NST. This means that SunnyNeo may be unavailable for a period of time within this timeframe. We apologise for the inconvenience.
Update: More Scheduled maintenance will occur on Friday, August 7th 2009 09:00 PM - 11:30 PM NST. We expect SunnyNeo to be down for approximately 30 minutes.
Also, good news! As you may have noticed, we have made a new Customisation section in our navigation system. In it you can find our three customisation databases: Neopoint Customisation, Customisation Deluxe and NC Mall Customisation and our new guide on Mysterious Morphing Experiments. We will be putting more focus on customisation in the future so keep watching that space!
Of course we are also still improving our existing pages, this means an upgrade for the Neopoint Customisation database. From now on, when you look up the clothes available for a certain pet species, you will first see a table that shows you all the species specific clothing. Below that, there is a different table with in it the clothes available to all pets. Isn't that handy?

Hi, I'm phoenixs_angel, Sunnyneo's new addition to the staff. You find me keeping the NC Mall customisation up to date and doing other things dealing with customisation as well, to make sure you'll all get the latest scoop on fashion news!
It's all about wearing the right clothes, now isn't it?
Now to start off with, we bring you a guide about those strange, mysterious morphing experiments, that are currently going on in Neopia. You know, worms suddenly starting to change, those kind of things...
You think I look tiny, but I might just surprise you!
The NC Mall MME item has started to morph! The new phase is called MME1-S2: Glowing Cocoon of Intrigue. If yours is still showing as the worm phase on your user lookup, try customising the pet to update the image.
Oooh. Glowing and intriguing.
Also, czarnyolek13 was kind enough to send us the url for a new superpack, probably available in the NC Mall when the Style Showdown moves on to the next theme.
Reminder: Entries for the first category of the Style Showdown (Out on the Town theme) will be cut off in a few days, likely Wednesday or so of this week.
This superpack looks weird and wacky!
