I dont see anything at all down the bottom, though we use the .css adblock for IE to block those top ads., so it either blocks the bottom too, or coz our account is under 13 they dont come up... hmmm not sure....
What I have noticed though is that the site is slower than its ever been , its painfully slow.....
anyone else finding that its heaps slower?

You know what this calls for? Another day of Action. But much bigger than before. Watch the GC because I'm really fired up about this.

Well, despite the ads that keep asking me if I want to take a free IQ test, I am not seing much difference from what I used to grab before and what I am getting now.
Of course, I am not that skilled restocker, but...

I don't like the top banner ads at all 
I keep accidnetally clicking on them when using opera or firefox because the tabs are right where the ad is, just a few pixels away. I sent a complaint to neo about it. I should send one to them about the bottom banner ads as well.
On a mac it's worse because not only are the ads visible, but also the page bounces down so the ad is right under the curser. It's almost impossible to not click on the ad with those clumsy single click mice that macs tend to use. A little too much pressure, and click...

The content of the ads lately has been highly questionable and unsuitable for younger Neopians. I don't see how Neopets, Inc., can claim that it's a COPPA-compliant company and child-friendly any longer. I think the next time I see one of their executives making such claims to a journalist, whether a newspaper, magazine, journal or online website, I'll dash off a letter to the editor.
Btw, did you all know that you can keep track of Neopets being named in any news source tracked by Google? Just look up Neopets on Google's News search page, and then hit the link to track any future news stories involving the company.

Right, I stand corrected: just lost two items because of lagging. Re-stocking is getting harder with the pop-ups.
Now, talking about irony... did anyone got the IQ test ad with the asparagus picture?
... if that is not irony redefined, I don't know what it is...

I'm getting used to restocking with the ad...well kind of. I dont know if its just general Neo lag but I have to click the picture repeatedy to get it to open...and sometimes the picture wont load at all. I hate restocking on the weekends...I dont know why I bother. Any weeknight ie mon-thursday I can stock nearly anything...weekends its HOPELESS. Sorry I had to get that out somewhere. Rant over

It might be the horrible lag that's happening right now. It's been almost impossible for me to get places in the past 3 hours. I'm having absolutely no success in submitting game scores, and I have to repeatedly click on a link before it goes anywhere...
