It's third-party software for the browser that prevents ads from being loaded on your machine without tampering with anything on Neopets, and it doesn't cheat at the game; in addition, the user is not OBLIGATED to view advertisements (yet), and thus, blocking ads is entirely legal. GO. NOW!

They seem to have gone for me now...

Maybe they realised it would just make people leave?

I've blocked the ads but I have never seriously seen users so upset about anything on NPs before!

Nope, they're still there. I just got the infamous "Who gets pregnant first?" ad when I turned off Adblock to look.

Me in the last post of the last split wrote:Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Neopets gets money just for putting the adds there. Sort of like a billboard, they can't help it if you don't look at the ads, but the sponsor still pays. The only possible exception is if they are being paid per click.

That's ok, I reposted it because I know no one ever bothers to look there after the thread has been locked.

They're going to change it back when they realize so many people have changed their country.
