On Reddit this morning, I saw this:

So I went on the Facebook page and confirmed this:

Sierra Hunt, I think, is just an avid Neopets user, but apparently she contacted them through the JumpStart page, and this was the response she got. I can’t find the post on the JumpStart page, so I’m assuming it was deleted or she sent a direct message. Fingers crossed for a speedy statement.

The good news: Neopets is not gone forever.
The bad news: Neopets is probably gone forever anyway.
