What is The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets?
According to the guide itself:
|
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets is the intergalactic repository of Neopets-related knowledge. A small team of dedicated researchers (and even a few freelance researchers) hitchhike their way all over Neopia to bring you important information such as how to hunt for secret laboratories and what to bring with you on your next trip to the Haunted Woods. The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets is maintained by a guild of the same name (visit their home page). The hard working and dedicated members of this guild courageously hunt down all of the secrets of Neopets and explain them to the general Neopian public via entries in The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets. |
To put it in simple terms, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets is a combination of guild and help page designed inform and help our fellow neopians enjoy Neopets.
All entries in The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets must conform to the following rules.
RULES:
- No copying and pasting. All entries must be original works by the researcher (researchers are allowed to use quotations).
- No foul language or inappropriate content.
- The researcher must reframe from licking doorknobs while researching an entry. This limitation is necessary in order to meet intergalactic standards (doorknob-licking is illegal on many planets).
- The content of an entry must not be disrespectful towards other researchers, users, and (especially) the Neopets Staff.
- Most information should be accurate. If not, then we will pretend that it is an old version that will be updated.
- Proper grammer and spelling should be used (no chat-speak).

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Neopets needs high quality Researchers on staff. Hard workers that are always on hand, Knowledgeable Know-It-Alls who aren't afraid to stick their noses in places where the Gnarlgeld Jobber Hoy might have a chance to bite it off, Brave Explorers who are willing to brave even the worst of the n00bish Chat Boards in Neopia, Magnifying-glass Toting Detectives with enough daring to get the scoop behind the latest events in Neopia. But most of all, we need Hitchhikers who will work for free... We're not made of money here...
