Advertising Banners on Neopets

[fifthmonkee]

I'm hoping it's some sort of spyware or some bizarre glitch, but I just got a Classmates.com banner on Neopets. Has anyone else seen a 3rd party banner?

I new this was coming, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon

[OmniIcyshelf]

Yes, I saw it. It makes me sad. The target audience is mostly young; why would they be interested in classmates.com?

Off-Topic : I'm awfully talkative tonight.

Yeah, I saw Classmates and was like "WHAT THE CRAP?! NOOOOO THAT'S ON EVERY OTHER SITE IN THE WORLD NOOOOOO!" ...Or at least that's sorta what was going on in my head.

I have gotten ebay, classmates.com, mp3 downloads, and Hooked on Phonics since it started. I thought it was because of my elderly status on neo--but now I see it is targetting young and old alike. What's next? Charles Schwab? Feminine deodorant? Neosporin?

Feminine deoderant? 0.o Not gonna ask..
Anyways, back on topic. I'm not much bothered by it. its just to keep neopets a freesite.

well, you know how badly girls smell all the time. It's kind of like Ovaltine or Nesquik. Simply drink it, and poof, you don't smell any more!

Welcome to the American capitalist way of life.

[OmniIcyshelf]

Ok. This has to stop. Seriously... ha... haha... &%@&YHfdxomgLoLZ



...Ahem. Now that that's over... I can't help but be disappointed in the marketing agents. Surely they can come up with better, or maybe wor- *Clamps mouth shut*

[br00ster]

Would you rather...
A) Have to pay a fee to join neopets.
OR
B) "Suffer" from banner ads?

I pick B.

[Johnnydontgo]

Hey Omni, I guess you're my new arguing partner!! *shakes hands* Nice to meet you, I'm Johnny (coughcoughgirlcough)...

*On topic* It's not that bad, really. It keeps the site free, and you're not forced to click the ad, so who am I to complain? At least they don't have popup ads...
