Well, I figure pretty soon they'll be tatooing ads on pets' foreheads.

I don't play much anymore these days anyhow, so I don't really care anymore. The site's just gotten too disgusting. Marapets is lame, but at least they aren't so obviously trying to suck my brain out along with my money.

If you used the Proxomitron (discussed a week back re: sidebars) you could set it to remove "THIS PAGE CONTAINS PAID ADVERTISEMENTS" from all pages from Neopets.

Heck, maybe I'll do that. The text doesn't really bother me that much -- but hey, just 'cause I can. :-)

I don't mind that phrase at all. Much better than the ads gone wild ... just got this one (and yes I did make it small)

(Eww, imageshack is doing weird things with images now!)

The ad itself never loaded, was apparently from the realmedia network. Now we're going to have the "boxy" ads on the top? o_O

I just got that one too, quite annoying I must say. I gave up waiting for it to load and just moved on. I never thought I would see the day when they would let the ads change the size of their bars so much. I wonder if we should contact them about it?

I thought it was about time PP had its own topic. In case you somehow haven't heard of it, Project Pillsbury is the petition I started to have the new 200x200 ads removed from Neopets. Sign here.

We have about 450 signatures right now, not including several I've had to delete due to inappropriate comments. I set the goal at 500, so we're very close. The idea is that I will send the petition, once the goal is reached, to Neopets and its sponsors. I realise that there is a very good chance it won't get anywhere, but then again it might.

Although I started the petition, I really feel like it doesn't belong to me. It belongs to all of you who took the time to sign. I was amazed at some of the articulate, well-thought-out comments people have left. I plan to compile quotes from some of these comments for a writeup about PP when all is said and done. Thank you to all who have signed, for wanting change and believing in what I say.

I never imagined that PP would come this far, and I sincerely hope that we can make a difference in the way Neopets is run.

I've heard a million times how stupid, pointless, etc. this is. I've been told that Neopets needs the money, that the ads are none of my business, and that I should shut up. If these are your opinions, you have the right to post them. Just know that I will pay you very little attention.

And by the way, if you don't believe that one girl can triumph against nearly impossible odds, you obviously haven't watched enough Disney movies.
;)

Edit-
If anyone has any doubts about wheather or not Neo makes a profit, this ought to clear them up. :)

Hm, I just had something strange happen to me.

While playing Dice-A-Roo, I was happening to look at the top banner ads for no particular reason. After awhile, it occured to me that I was seeing only Neopets ads - Potato Counter, Auctions, Bank, Neopian Times, stuff like that. You know - only leading to inside Neopet things.

So after my pet got bored of Dice-A-Roo, I started clicking around on random things. I still haven't seen a non-Neopet ad on the top. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the bottom, but, oh well.

Is this only happening to me, or does the fact that I am using the Valentine's Side Bar have something to do with it, do you think?

Twizzler, I have no idea if using a special sidebar would account for that or not. I can tell you, having been on my (soon to be closed - hopefully) gallery account that there are outside ads on the top AND the bottom ads are back in all their *cough* glory. Pages are back to taking forever to load. Sometimes I have to refresh the page to get something besides a huge yellow top and blank rest of the page.

That's why I'm slowly moving everything back to my main. Parting with my gallery pets will be very very hard :( But I just can't take it.

No, no, no, you aren't getting me. I'm not seeing any ads that lead to off Neopet sites - like... the Find your High School Students or whatever it is. H & R Block, that type of thing. I am not seeing any of those, just ones that lead to Neopian games and Neopian Auctions, and Neopian Shops.

And the bottom ads are still normal.

Yea. You buy it, read until you're halfway through the book and then it says they discontinued the story due to "time constraints" and that they'll learn from their mistakes.

Nah, the book's written by Viacom :P Though it is likely you'll find a few DFM pages.
