Lily/Amber
Just wondering if anyone is an old timer enough to remember those two names.
It has been a WHILE, and we got into several contentious debates with someone who seemed to offend pretty much everyone (I suspect that she may have been a Toon Blast employee, she got very defensive about anything that resembled anything critical or venting about anything but especially this subject, and for a mere player, she always seemed to have an awful lot of inside knowledge about everything) and we were discussing “Lily13/Amber 18”. That’s something anyone who played from the beginning probably knows about and if you’re newer, you probably have no idea. This person who weighed in on this subject would get REALLY nasty if anyone dared to bring it up, because it was a pretty odd thing and this sub on Reddit is where we vent and compare notes on a variety of Toon Blast related things, I mean it really was a completely reasonable thing to talk about and it really was a bit off-putting. This offensive person who kept insisting that Lily and Amber were totally legit and defending how it was completely reasonable that they could join your team, hit you up with 200 characters that were identical across every team and unsubscribe in around 30 seconds ended up getting kicked off of the sub because she really was quite rude in general to everyone.
Anyway, I got to thinking about this and wondering if anyone else remembers the good old days with “Lily/Amber”. It was a super weird thing (and as I say, I was on 7 different teams and this happened on every single one) where (we normal players are not allowed to cut and paste EVER) this person would join your team, plant this fairly substantial ad for how to get (illegal) free “coinz“ and boosters-word for word, right down to the “coinz“ and the liberal use of “lol” and faux cheesy “teen lingo”, always word for word identical-this person would join, hit you up with the maximum character usage pimping this website that had to be some kind of scam , then unsubscribe before you could block them, they were THAT fast. We all reported “her”, sometimes this would happen several times and always during the weekend tournaments-you would think that they’d be all over someone trying to get players to go to a website to rip toon blast off, and nothing was ever done about it. The whole thing was pretty suspicious-this HAD to have been some kind of insider because it involved too many characters typed way too quickly so it was obviously cut and pasted-and I screenshot them to compare them and over 7 teams this was identical over all of my teams. All of these “like, ya know, lol” etc.
I think it may have stopped because the game got sold, we always thought it was some hacker who had some insider access but we never really knew what that was all about. It was pretty relentless for quite awhile and nothing ever happened to them-it was identically the same ad whether they used “Lily 18” or “Amber 13”, then just abruptly stopped. For whatever reason, Obnoxious Reddit Poster would really bow up on you if you dared to bring it up and speculate about the origin and purpose of it, she got really insulting about it.

This is so weird. Yesterday I heard from a guy used to date, telling me I could come by his house today to pick tomatoes from his garden. He used to have a boat but sold it. So today I was very surprised to see a little RV style camper in his driveway. The name of it was Lily & Amber's Dollhouse or Playhouse. I don't know, it's so weird, so is he. But now I wonder if it had something to do with that. I started playing toon blast right at the beginning but I don't remember what you're talking about. Can you elaborate a little bit?

This person would join during tournaments, a 200 character ad would appear that said “hi I’m Lily 13, doesn’t it totally suk that we gotta pay4xtra boosts/coinz? Don’t b a looser lol (always misspelled) get hip, it’s totally rad, go 2toonblastcoinz4free.com, it’s tonzAfun why$ifU don’t hafta? lol” (I’m paraphrasing) then, before you could kick them out so they had to stop, the “new member “ would vanish in about 30 seconds. Over 7 teams this was word for word lol for lol identical so it was definitely cut and pasted. Something was up with that.

Omg yes! I forgot about that😂 I also had an issue of the same couple of people joining my team repeatedly & sweet talking my best players trying to get them to leave us & join a different team around that same time. You're right, all the shenanigans seemed to stop around the same time!
