"wtf? www.neopets.com do you see what i see?"

Yep introducing the Neopets Mamabar. Want to get rid of it? AdBlock it...

Don't have AdBlock Plus? Grab it here: https://addons.mozil...efox/addon/1865
Download the USA Filter for other Neopets ads.

Ad Block Plus downloads it automatically its called a subscritption. To download it click on on the arrow to the right of the "ABP" Stop sign. Then click "Preferences". Then click the "Filters" menu then click "Add Filter Subscription..." and then choose EasyList (USA) :)


Here's the code to block the mamabar thanks to LaserWave:
neopets.com##div[class="brand-mamabar"]

So I guess Neopets is now owned by Nickelodean? I used to watch it a lot when I was little :)

    They aren't owned by Nickelodeon, both of them are subsidiaries of Viacom (MTV) so I guess they're just trying to link some of their affiliated sites together...

    I like how on a site that doesn't allow young members to play gambling games or use swear words, they're linking to such an upstanding site as addictinggames.com, a site that frequently features violent and inappropriate games. I can't wait to see a backlash from this -_-'

    Adblocked anyway.

    I downloaded Ad Block but ads still show up (top of neopets.) I tried manually clicking a little block button that shows up for em but they come back. It's annoying as hell especially when ur restocking and accidentally hit the fucking ad instead of the next tab.

    Like they even know where blocking it. Besides, not everyone from codex blocks them, and not only people that block it are from codex.

    @Kitsune - I wouldn't expect them to but you and I both know how temperamental TNT is.

    @Iargue - I have no doubt TNT monitors codex and they might even have an account that it is adv. I just think a news post about blocking their ads (which they can claim reduces their profits) gives them something to use against us.

    It was only a concern I had. I mean I remember when Dro didn't want a MAB anywhere near public, from memory it was something to do with copyright issues. I'm probably looking into it too much though.

    Lol. If Adblock is illegal. Then I'm going to create my own fucking island.

    There is nothing illegal about blocking someones AD's and if the site wasnt free, then it should be illegal to have ads there.

    Who cares if they are monitoring us? We dont break and laws.

    I agree with Aether just in case. I've moved this out of announcements to the neo chat. We've seen other sites get in trouble for things and we want to be safe and make eveyrone happy :) Keep people interested in neopets and all that :)

    I think they already said once in the editorial that adblock is fine, I'll see if I can find it.

    According to the Neopets Terms & Conditions, players shouldn't use any programs that change the game experience (refreshers, etc.). While I know this has been in effect for a while, it's now said that "if you use such a program on the neopets.com website, you will pay NeoPets, Inc. liquidated damages in the sum of Five Hundred Dollars for each time you use a program." Does this mean that if I use ad-block, or have a computer that doesn't run Flash and can't see ads, that I'm going to be fined?!?!?! - spork_queen


    Neopets strives to an environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to flourish if they obey the rules of game. The Terms and Conditions set forth how the level playing field is maintained. People who use outside programs to cheat the game play, such as autobuyers programs, are not playing fairly. Programs that do not affect the game play, such as ad block, do not give a player an unfair advantage and therefore can be used. Likewise, people can always manually refresh a page. As long as you are not playing unfairly, you have nothing to worry about.

    So Neopets is against the blind playing their websites, huh? I don't think they could use many websites without special devices. And if they have to pay so much to be able to be able to play, then Neopets is getting into the business of bankrupting the disabled?

    The plot thickens :o

    Neopets... :lol:
