Before the attack of the banner ads, all the ads in the toolbar were somehow related to neopets.
Neopets has "promised not to put pop up ads" and the banner ads are the way of avoiding pop ups. I think that banner ads are worst than pop ups. It's not like you can just get rid of the ad or use a banner ad blocker.

Some of the ads before were sort of unrelated to neopets. And didn't someone have a script or something that blocked the banner ads?

I've NEVER got outside neopets ads once I set my account's location to Antarctica or Jelly Wor...

Now that I think about it, I haven't gotten a Neopets related top banner ad in quite a while. I haven't ever tested it, but just from what I remember, the Neopets related are much less frequent than the off-site ones.

But they don't really bother me because I block them with Firefox, lol.

Honestly, I think you're all over-reacting when you can just block the ads.

There are numerous old topics here on PPT about how to block the ads, and I suggest you all do it.

Location: Back to neopets...I guess
Weird, refreshing the front page of neo never gives me any outside banners, but on the others pages, the percentage of outside banners is as high as you guys say.

Kudos to wonder weezel for making me this cute set. ^_^

There are never any outside banners on the frontpage. It's 100% sponsor free.

Also the frequency of sponsor ads will be increasing, but there will still be Neopets-related ads.


He never specified a percentage after that. Whether 3% or 10% he said the number of sponsor ads would go up from whatever the frequency rate was before but didn't say by a lot, a little or 70%.

Location: "So you live in an igloo with polar bears, then?", they ask.
Where do you live?
I live in Finland and I seem to get much less non-neopets related banners.

Actually, I wish they could show more of the not-related-to-neopets banners, I am sick of getting a huge Brightvale banner on every second refresh... They're useless, non-Neopets aren't.
Besides, the neopets related banners are really eye catching.

I repeat: As I have said, change your location to antarctica and you'll be non neopets ad free!
