Make sure you're setting allow sites to install software... I had that problem also, and was wondering why I couldn't get extensions. :oops:

I think that answer's pretty obvious. Hiding from PPT'ers who he KNOWS are going to be irate. Anyone ever seen that episode of Futurama where Fry realizes that in the future, they broadcast commercials in your dreams? :roll:

:) Great speech. I totally agree with you.

To restate what I said before so more people can see it

Change your country to New Zealand to remove the ads

Changed my country to Benin and they're gone! :D My best friend will be wondering why I've suddenly moved though. :P

I just changed mine to some tiny little country in Africa. And, it worked. Thanks.

THis is an outrage an outrage, lol. i just can't beleave we have more ads to worry about now, lol.

This is why TNT should respect its users. We'd happily buy overpriced merchandise and premium accounts if they didn't completely ignore valid complaints. Then they'd have oodles of nice money and we'd have a nice jumbo size ad free site.

*huggles everconfused*

Guess I'm a kiwi now.

I can see it now, the next set of ads :

-Ads instead of game preloders, and every 15 minutes into the game.
-Pop-ups
-Ads on the right side
-Ads that follow your mouse when you scroll
-Restock break every 15 minutes for ads
-Ad items

and last but not least

The ads get their own species and world.


Edit : Ad mystery pics and lenny conundrum problems! Out of 100 refreshes, how many Classmates ads can you find?!

First, the little ad on the bottom left corner wasn't enough. Then, they added a bigger banner at the top...but it wasn't big enough so whee, enlarged! Now, even that's not enough and they need another banner at the very bottom of the page :roll:

A word for TNT: If you don't remove these, I quit. If you add more, I quit more.

Absolutely pathetic and horrific.

Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:03 pm

*breaks steady lurking streak*

I was just getting used to the big banner on the top, and they go and put an even bigger ad at the bottem. I really don't like this. GRRRRRR

Well, I guess I am off to "move" to New Zealand.

EDIT: didn't work, ads still there. :x

Does anyone know what country you have to change to to stop all adds, including top banner ones?

Well, if I weren't so darned addicted to this game, I would join you. Perhaps we need a patch to wear, like smokers who are quitting. Everytime we sit down to play Neo, it zaps us back into reality.

I just picked two African countries so small that they didn't even show up in the stats--the part that shows pets broken down by country. And, I still got the top banner ads for both. But not the bottom ones.

So this is what it's come to...? Ads everywhere the eye sees? :(

I tried the premium thing and for me, personally it was not worth it. Simply because while I paid the 8 dollars a month, I had no ads but my family still did. In order for everyone to play without ads it would have cost us roughly 24 dollars a month. A bit steep really and so I cancelled it.

But now I wonder if I am going to have the patience to sit next to my daughters as they play in Neopia just to make sure they don't "click" on a site that I may consider unsafe or innapropriate for them?

Alas, that I should live to see the day when Neopia became as commercialized as my "real" life is.
