I know! TNT needs to make a PPT av, that only we can use... how deliciously evil would that be? :evil:

ARE THEY KIDDING ME? That huge banner is AWFUL. I hate it.

If anyone from TNT is reading this... if you're going to force us to stare at huge banners like that, the least you could do is take the smaller flash ads at the bottom of the toolbar away. Are you trying to crash my computer?

How would you get it? Have a Pink Poogle Toy in your shop?

Nah, too easy... erm.. you have to have a link on your shop or userlookup that links back to your profile on PPT... too bad you can't link back to anything non Neopets...

I'd say having a ppt in your shop at 133700, but I'm sure we've got copycats now, that have no idea what it's about..

Eh.. I actully like the larger one better than the small one that we have. oo; I'm weird.

Um... how about... you post your username on the forums, and TNT gives you an avatar.

Mine's memoryofmark, in case staff is reading this.

Eh, the avatar is ok, I guess. I can just picture everyone at the neoboards though: "OMG IM BOROVAN!! LOOKIT MEEEE!!11" lol. I probably won't use the av, ever.

That banner though... wow, what a bummer. I'm not angry at TNT, since it seems like they're not all that thrilled about it either, but I'm still a bit peeved. That thing is just huge. O.O

That new banner thing - joke? PLEASE tell me it's a joke? That link to the new page layout, all the content is 36 pixels down the page, which may not be a big deal to some, but I have carpal tunnel in both wrists, and having to scroll down already was paining me, now i't gonna be even more scrolling

And HUGE giant moving banners? Headache city!

Can't you like *force* resize a banner if it's bigger than the space available? Like you can with images?

Edit: I wonder how much profit Neopets makes a year? Is this like the banks, when they *only* make 3 billion dollars a quarter, they need to raise fees because of their *low* profit?

Ok, that was maybe too sarcastic, but really, is Neopets not making a profit the way it's run now? Should we be worried for them?

I know, it's gigantic. I'm going to have to F11 everything, seeing as when I try making my display bigger, it cuts off like an inch from every side.

Just to re-inforce what we have said before, there will never be any pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware, interstitials or anything like that on the site.

HA! I keep getting the servedby.whatever cookie on my computer.

We hate those as much as you do! Although the top 90 pixels will probably be some sort of ad, the rest will remain mostly ad-free.

HA! There's still the sidebar ad! I wonder when that will grow.

Thanks to everybody for playing the site and lots of exciting content, puzzle, games (and possibly another Card of the Day) are on the way!

A Card of the Day is really going to make me happy. -_-

They need to leave everything as it is now, but make the banner just a bit wider so that people won't quit because of all the changing.

BRAVO!!!

Sure, we're all disappointed about the banne, but that's small fries ladies and gentlemen.

The Neopets Team took initiative and were 100% completely upfront and honest with all of us. Whether or not you agree with their decision is one thing, but you need to respect and admire the way that they've switched around the way that they are communicating with all of us.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND KEEP UP THE GOOD COMMUNICATIN' WORK!!!
