WHAT IS (OR WAS) MARAQUA?

I am sure most people know that Maraqua is a world in Neopets. Well, Maraqua was also, at some point, one of the biggest guilds on Neopets. Created on October 13th of 2003, the guild was very popular, garnering 700 members by Christmas. The owner of the guild was college student Ian Smetham. Unfortunately, on May 20th, 2004, TNT unfairly froze Maraqua for allegedly "linking to a commercial site"; Maraqua2 took its place, but never to gain the same popularity the previous Maraqua had. About 2 million neopoints were lost due to the freeze. There was no point in keeping a guild-website with no guild, so Ian decided to create his own pet site called Marapets so that the users of the frozen guild felt more at home in the new virtual pet site. Marapets officially opened on August 15th, 2004, and Maraqua shut its doors a few days later.
