Unless this is the start of the skyscraper ads, and they goofed and plugged it into the top instead of putting it on the side...


Yeah, perhaps they made an error, and the ad was supposed to be placed horizontally across the screen.


Doubtfull because of the add it self. She is bouncing up, not across ;)

If that's not a mistake, it's almost hilariously stupid. I can't help laughing.

Just another reason for us all to block ads.

*Hugs adblock* The only reason I play neopets is because it is the only site I know of that you can do fake business on. My pets are dying. I just like trophies and selling things. The ads gone makes it easier to restock. For only $20 you get no ads, that is how I adblock. If you complain so much get Norton Antispam, I only take it off to get freebies.

Report it.

People are always complaining about these sorts of things... but I never see anyone actually reporting the problem to Neopets to have it rectified. :roll:

Don't be silly, they need the money to stay free. I mean, sure they make an 8 figure revenue from the site, it takes at least 12 figures to keep it free <_<

-.- Evil ad attack...but at least the site's still free maybe because of it

Of course they don't :P But with the way that they keep adding advertisements everywhere claiming it's to "keep the site free" ones would think you'd need that much. Image

Really? Blah. I haven't gotten it yet. *Crosses fingers* I really think full page adverts will be next and then the dreaded of them all...pop-ups.
