Isn't the whole Portal/premium access thing supposed to be helping with the costs of running the site? (when it's fully released) And if so, why do you still need to have huge sponsor banners?

Or will people with premium/portal not have those banners show up?


No sponsor banners will show up to premium/portal users at all evah.

Dont quote me on that, it may change, that is the idea though...

Hee hee... excellent! :D

Now... when will we get our emails to tell us where our scratchcards have moved to? ;) LOL!

Oh, and add in another vote to make the banners non-flash :) Doesnt bother me so much when I'm using Opera, cos I have flash turned off, but when me and my hubby are both sharing our slower than 28k connection - things can take a LONG time to laod! ;) LOL!

Edit: Still looking for testers? ;) U/N teeshy!

For userlookups, we'll probably replace the top banner with a big DHTML frame with my animated face in. It'll move around the screen breathing fire and paint all your Neopets with the mullet paint brush.

Come on snarkie - You know that really you DO want to ruin millions of users lookups :P Do it...Do it... :evil:

Anyways from the comments on this board I think we are really in for a treat with the new sidebar :D I can't wait until it goes public and I can enjoy having it myself :)

There you go again. You weren't supposed to tell anyone about the Mullet Paint Brush.

You're so fired on Monday.

*falls out of chair at the thought of a mullet paint brush* :roflol: Now THERE'S an idea! :P

I'm just trying to imagine my Faerie Ixi with a mullet and trying not to shudder. :P Maybe that's what you should do to players who don't take care of their pets, instead of turning them blue! :D

LOL. ...I fear the mullet.



Great job with the sidebar so far. All the PPTers have found most of the glitches so it's coming up perfectly for me as I play Neo. :)

See Adam - Never mess with the Snarkstinator :P She has friends in higher places than you can reach on a step ladder ;)

O.O;; *paints her paint invisble then notices Ruki don't have the color* ...crud!

That would be a crazy thing to do, Adam, VERY crazy, but funny. Try an insane laugh after the pets get mullets. ;) Eyes glow red too.

EDIT: XD @ Snarkie. Adam got owned. :D

Well, my lookup is still pretty much normal, but seeing the yellow on the top go away would be nice :P Here's the link to a screenie of what I see with a banner blocker on my lookup.

Heh liana, you must have missed my little explination about "what does the (mul) button do" in the screenies thread...

I'll repost it here for ya, so you catch the inside joke. ;)

Wait a second...Snarkie has an obsession with Sloth. Snarkie rhymes with Sparkie which is the name many people use for Sparkshooters...


OH MY GOSH!! SLOTH IS CONTROLLING PEOPLE'S MINDS WITH SPARKSHOOTERS!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!

And I, personally, have already been frozen once in the past for "cheating" on a flash game simply because my computer was too slow and it looked like I was using a cheat program. I've since been unfrozen and have been okay since then, but I know these new ads are going to slow my computer down even more and I'm afraid of being frozen again. Is there any way you could do as people have suggested and have a low-bandwith setting for people with slow computers where we could choose to view html ads instead?

This problem is the most pressing for me, personally. I had the same exact experience of being frozen for "cheating at flash games" in March 2003, when the problem was simply an older CPU. I'm scared to death that running two flash ads while playing a flash game will result in even slower CPU speeds. I've come up with a possible solution though. After the game loads, I'll just go to a site with no banners or flash, then come back to Neo when I submit my score.... :P
