I don't see the big deal. o_O

If you use Firefox or IE, then you can block them!

So why is everyone so mad? I wouldn't notice them if I hadn't read the news anyway.

There is a part of me that is really praying that these new ads are going to "replace" the huge banner ads on top. Of course it doesn't really sound like that is going to happen. *sigh*

I never thought about that until now. I hope not since they pop up from my adblocker on my one computer. That is a good theory though. Will make the top area look nicer though.

There's also the larger implications for the future of the site to consider. In the short term, what happens once most people have finally switched to firefox or opera? Click-throughs will decrease and companies will take notice. Will there be adds in between pages like on a certain gaming site? Or ads you have to click to gain access to daily features. Where exactly will it end? We can't keep up this back and fourth forever.

I'm on internet explorer and I don't see anything out of the ordinary, not even a space at the bottom wher an ad would be. o_O

oh no. no no no. none of that "click to gain access stuff." that will seriously be the end for me. i'm already losing my interest, but i HATE those type of ads and that would definitely be enough to push me away. and it would be pushing away a premium member.

Are you under age 13? That might be the reason.

Then I'll have a SuAP, a Jade SS, a Lord Darigans Blade, Ice Dice, dual Ghostkerbombs, a T-Tear, and a Heavy Robe of Thievery, General Mills cereal, a 100% free Ipod*, and a Big Mac with a large side of fries and a Diet Coke.

But they do - people like us are blocking the top ones, and they know it.

So they go to a different method of presenting them.


Well gee golly what happens when those are blocked Mr. Shapu?

Worst-case scenario? Neopets becomes pay for play.

Best-case? They realize that the wiser players are blocking the new ads, too, and so they just live with it and get on with their lives.

Nah, I think it has room to get worse.

Next up, neopets will scrap making the "Mok" the newest pet species in Neopia, and we'll all be forced to adopt one of these:

Hey, stop looking at me funny...
