Myths

No... they didn't.
Neos is restrictive on purpose
We support all groups, identities and communities. You are welcome on Neos. Our Guidelines, do not restrict any users.

That's not correct, we have a number of options for you to support us. We're open to many types of funding.
Neos is open source
Neos is for only Furries
That's not correct, Furries do make a large proportion of our community but it is not ALL of our community. Scroll through the tweets under the hash tag #NeosVR to see a wide variety of avatars and communities.
Neos only has one developer
Nope, the Neos Team has a full list. It is true that our main developer created a lot of Neos but they have help!
Neos is only for creators
That's not correct, while our UI is kinda complex right now it is NOT just for creators. You can hang out and chat, play games and whatever. It's up to you. You don't need to be a creator.
Neos has only been around since 2021
That's incorrect, we've been on steam since April 2018 and off steam longer than that.

That's not correct, we only ban users who violate our Guidelines.
Neos bans users who report security issues
If users do not follow, the security and reporting policy. This may happen but provided this is followed we will not.
Neos has "bad people" on their board
We've had some reports and complaints of certain people claiming to be on our "board". The board of Neos only has two members, Froox and Karel.
We do have a Patreon perk, that allows high tier members to attend a "board meeting" once a month. This is just a name and these members are not legally speaking on our board or management. This is just a meeting. Think of it as an "Influencer Meeting" or "High tier Patreon Meeting" it has no legal status.
