December 2006 News Archive

As soon as we figure out how you can get the winter sidebar we will be sure to post it on SunnyNeo. Meanwhile, here are the clues TNT has given in the Neopian Times:

I know December is long gone but, how come on Decemember 31, 2005 only some people got the winter sidebar from the Advent Calendar? I thought everyone was supposed to get the same prizes from the Advent Calendar. :\ ~ starfire1991
Actually, random prizes are ocassionally given out via the Advent Calendar. This is done just to spice things up a bit and give a few lucky people an extra prize we wouldn't be able to give out otherwise.

That being said, this was not the case here. :) Just like most of the other sidebars, there were certain requirements that had to be met in order to obtain the Winter Sidebar. If you met these requirements, you got it on the final day of the Advent Calendar. We can't tell you what those requirements were, of course, but it was certainly not a random giveaway. We'll give you a little hint however... the same requirements will need to be met next year, and the sidebar will again be given out on the final day of the Advent Calendar. You've got 10 months to figure it out! :)
This is question 3623, archived from Editorial Issue 228.

I was thinking -- the way to unlock the winter sidebar ISN'T by staying up on Christmas Eve or Christmas night until midnight and refreshing at Terror Mountain... right? ~narelliagiven
More hint requests?!

Ah, since it is a once-in-a-year opportunity, we'll let you off the hook this time. If you are celebrating Christmas, please don't upset Santa by staying up to midnight on Neopets. Should you meet the requirements, you'll be able to collect the sidebar by visiting the Advent Calendar at ANY time on December 31st.
This is question 4170, archived from Editorial Issue 270.



If you want to help find out how you can get the sidebar, please fill in the questionnaire at Avatar.Starried.net after you visited today's Advent Calender.

Today, December 26th, starting at 10am NST; Dyplamicus the Darigan Pteri is 644 days old, this means another chance at getting the avatar if you missed it before.


Thank you elmothree and basketball_325 for this information!

All of the SunnyNeo staff wish you...
Merry Christmas!


May Santa bring you lots of nice pressies!

Sorry I've made you all wait so long for these avatar fonts, but now they are here! I hope you enjoy them!

Just a quick note to let you know that I (faerieskater2) will be out of town for the next week, until next friday, and that Rain (repulsives/hikarru) will be gone until January. So please do not neomail either of us while we are gone or our inboxes will be full and you probably wont be answered XD. Also please have some patience with the staff that are around to run the site, they may not be able to update the site with new info the second it comes out... not that we are normally that on top of things anyways XD.

If you visit the Advent Calendar today, and collect your prize, you will receive the seasonal attack pea avatar, if you do not already have it.

Lets all welcome the latest addition to the SN staff, liledian. He has already made one test page for his application to get in (which will be launched soon) and will be our php guy now instead of me always having to poke lu. Welcome to SN liledian :)

Today, December 18th, starting at 12pm NST; Tayeli the Darigan Pteri is 644 days old, this means another chance at getting the avatar if you missed it before.


Thank you gibgib for this information!

Just a reminder to get your Darigan Pteri avatar! You can receive this avatar on December 10th starting at 8pm by using this pteri: dragon_charanth. If you know of any other Darigan Pteris that may be close to the 644 day mark, then please neomail us with the name.

Score 1,500 or more points at Volcano Run 2. You will receive the avatar after your score has been reviewed and accepted by TNT, the review point is 1500. Tip: type glubgar during the game and you will get a free life, you can only do this once! -Thanks to akashic for confirming this information

Since Im feeling rather festive today because it is my 20th birthday, I thought I'd share it with the entire world. *puts up balloons around the site*
Happy Birthday to me!


On my to do list are the fonts from the avatars I haven't done yet, so hopefully I'll have time soon, but my uni is keeping me busy so I hope you all aren't too angry at me for having to wait so long .

We have made some new pages. There is a page for the Games Master Challenges just explaining what it was and what you had to do. There is a Plot Guides page that has the TOW guide link for now and will have any future plot guides linked to it as well :). Also we have made a News Archive page where we are now keeping all our old news that we have removed from the front page of the site.


New Tutorials

We have added 2 new tutorials that we have had done for awhile but have not had any time to proof them. They can be found under the Tutorials page. We added the Make a blog in Paint tutorial, and also the make a Blinkie in PSP tutorial.

We have made a page for the advent calendar and the prizes you get each day :)

Advent Calendar

Today starts the Month of Celebrating and that means you can visit the Advent Calendar daily to get all sorts of surprises.

And don't forget to collect your monthly freebies from Neopets!
