Before I download firefox and start blocking ads...are you sure it couldnt get us in trouble or iced? I mean wont neo not make money if the ads dont appear?

It's third-party software for the browser that prevents ads from being loaded on your machine without tampering with anything on Neopets, and it doesn't cheat at the game; in addition, the user is not OBLIGATED to view advertisements (yet), and thus, blocking ads is entirely legal. GO. NOW! :D

I've blocked the ads but I have never seriously seen users so upset about anything on NPs before!

Who's up for a strike? :P

Nope, they're still there. I just got the infamous "Who gets pregnant first?" ad when I turned off Adblock to look.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Neopets gets money just for putting the adds there. Sort of like a billboard, they can't help it if you don't look at the ads, but the sponsor still pays. The only possible exception is if they are being paid per click.

I'm finally back for the summer, although hopefully I'll spend a little more time away from this screen.

That's ok, I reposted it because I know no one ever bothers to look there after the thread has been locked.
