andaraen Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Like many people, I find myself in want of certain avatars. Namely, BGC, MSPP, and SUAP. While I occasionally participate in the chats that occur on the neoboards, I'm not quite sure what to put down in my "application" post. I know lenders are looking for trustworthiness and dedication, but those things are rather difficult to quantify. Would someone care to enlighten me? I've been working on my account for about a year, but it's really young compared to most of the accounts I've seen that are still looking to borrow these elusive items. And I feel rather inadequate when I compare my achievements to that of other people... Also, I really don't like how little space you get to work with on the neoboards. There is a lot I could say about myself/my accounts/my Neopets experience/whatever, but there simply isn't enough room for everything, even boiled down to bullet points. I know putting everything on a petpage would give me a ton more space to work with, but do lenders actually look at applications people make? Is just making a page at all, regardless of quality, enough or should I learn HTML and get original artwork for it? (If the latter is the case, can someone recommend a person/page I can go to in order to get art/knowledge from?) And, last but not least, how much do lenders care about vouchers? A little while ago, a lovely user on the neoboards vouched for me because they said my account looks great. I have it saved on a computer, but I'd like to know how much it matters and if I should be looking for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 i was lent BGC and SuAP via the boards. I put how many avatars, stamps, site themes, and account age. I also stated what I collected in my galleries and that I like to zap/adopt pets out. Vouchers are a bonus, especially if their accounts are also trustworthy looking (age, avatars, stamps, site themes etc) Make sure that you mention you are a premium member (that alone will go a long way) and that you care a lot about your account. Best of luck - I don't think you'll have much of a problem. :) andaraen, Rebecca~ and Mouseykins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hrtbrk has wonderful advice! Also, don't forget to check around the Premium boards. I was lent all three of those avatars for free on Charter- I didn't once have to make my own board. Really lovely people will post their own boards saying they're lending out- and they feel more secure lending to people who are paying for the site. You have a really impressive account, especially considering how young it is. :) Best of luck! hrtbrk and andaraen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaraen Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Thanks for the responses, you guys. c: I think I'll try spending more time on the neoboards once the AC is finished. The Altador Cup has been taking up a ton of my time lately. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichi Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Especially with SUAP make sure it's one of the very last avatars you still need to get. I tried applying for it from March until end May, no luck for me, and I had a petpage and everything. I'm guessing they thought I was suspicious because I still have plenty of avatars to get.

It doesn't need to be one of the very last avatars you need. Even if you're still missing several avatars, there is a chance you can be lent a SuAP. I know people who have had under 300 avatars and have gotten lent a SuAP. Of course the more avatars you have, the higher your chances are, but it's still at the discretion of the lender. For these avatars it can take quite a while to be lent, you just need patience and chatting on the lending neoboards such as the SuAP/MSPP board, can increase your chances as well. Good luck getting these elusive avatars! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
