You have to wonder though if it is a mistake or a glitch of some sort. Because you would think that TNT would have told someone about it before doing something so radical--if not us, at least the beta testers. After all, PPTers were told about the the top banner before it was put into place--to sort of feel us out before introducing it to the public. And, no beta tester has come on the forums to say that they knew about it beforehand.

And, you would think that they would have blocked it for premium users. Because when they were touting the premium service in the news a while back, they said that one of the benefits was no ads. Surely, they wouldn't be putting these ads on premium accounts unless it was a mistake or glitch or some sort.

Just makes me scratch my head and wonder if it isn't some sort of weird glitch that wasn't supposed to happen. After all, its not like we haven't seen glitches before.

Change your country to New Zealand to remove the ads

That will cause sponsor games with BIG np to not be viewable by you. Sorry.

Since I have two computers I went on the other one. I went to but a snicklebeast I saw that was really really cheap, only 2k, then my computer froze because of the ads! I could have made an easy 4k!

Right now... Id REALLY like to kill doug dohring :evil:

now THAT would be a GREAT B-day prezzie! *my birthday is tomorrow*

3 ads per page is going overboard TNT, you CLAIM to not accept donations but instead you love the money you make from the banners that are big enough to be a person in their own right!

I changed my mind about blocking that ads before, can someone give me the html for the blocking? :battar:

I dont really care about the top banner...I just want to get rid of the bottom one

are you....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

i'm just flabbergasted. that's really all there is to say. i mean, i know neo doesn't care about the little guy or the individual anymore, obviously....but to subject us to this too? and PAYING CUSTOMERS ARE SEEING THEM TOO?

UGGH. i'm disgusted. They must rake in money from sponsers and merchandise, why why WHY lose all respectability and put these dumb ads up?

No offense, but if you aren't playing neo, and you want to belittle people who are (legitamately) upset, why are you hanging out at the GC where all topics are neo-related? o_O

umm...yeah. my thoughts exactly. we play neo, so therefore we are affected by this, and you don't, so you arent. a neopets board probably wont be of much interest to you, especially if you don't like the complaints.
