Anybody hear about how one of the original creators, Adam (you may remember him also as user "borovan" on Neopets) embarrassed himself recently?
Subreddit r/Neopets (which has always taken the piss out of the Neopets NFTs) has a Discord server. Adam popped into their server to promote his new NFT venture. Predictably, Adam got roasted to high heaven, and he just could not take it. He got real-life angry & started swearing at people in the server. The cherry on top was the photo he sent to the people roasting him - an image of himself, angry, flipping off the camera. I highly suggest we all look it up and laugh.
... You'd think these cryptobros would be used to rejection now, given how long they've been playing the fool! But nah, they've got no cool ;P
Jellyneo also had the opportunity to review some messages from a Dragginz Discord server (which again, we will not be linking here), and found some disturbing content. Apparently, Adam has only recently completed a takeover of a crypto investment group (SNS-1 DAO) so he could use it for Dragginz—but the prior server chat history is riddled with anti-LGBTQ+ comments and other disturbing content.
After his run-in with the Neopets community, Adam took to ranting in this Dragginz Discord server, posting deranged comments like "I hope they live forever in poverty," referring to commenters he encountered on a post in /r/Neopets on reddit. He also claimed in a separate comment on reddit that his game will "have a much better environment and moderation than this hell you have created." Again referring to the community and moderators of /r/Neopets and their apparent lack of love for crypto.
At time of writing, Adam has since deleted his reddit account and was banned from the /r/Neopets Discord server.
Holy shit I've been reading this on and off all day. I especially love the part where borovan comes in to run his mouth in the comments section, this is some A+ internet drama. Thank you for the link!
No problem! I thought we could use a bit of drama more removed from the usual hijinks, but still juicy and virtual-pet-related enough to be relevant to the content of this website.
And hey, if Adam is out here making a fool of himself... Might as well tune in to witness the bells on his hat jingling as he does his fool's dance, right?
