Everything and anything relating to neopets that are run by individuals voluntarily must be appreciated. I run two NB advertisements and I do not get anything from it.

It's a great job to manage but there's also the negativity that comes with it. People sometimes don't see what happens behind the scenes. You're in for a surprise.

[quote=Kulpio]Btw, shouldnt you have thought about the responsibility of running multiple malls before making them... To just kick out 30mallers... that is ALOT of people and ALOT of time and np people have spent to advertise in your malls, and you even lied to 1434sweet... Now that is UNPROFESSIONAL. Dont bang on to be about how good you are...[/quote] omg... of course they thought about responsibility when starting other branches, but they started them a while ago... things change, people change, real life is WAY more important than neopets, hun, and if the managers couldnt get online as much anymore to run the malls, then its better that they close the branches and let those 30 mallers find malls that can be run properly. Would you rather that they let the branches be half-assed run and slowly fall apart? Or that they make the decision to close 3 of them and be able to put more focus into less branches? I agree with 1434sweet and as others have said... people running a guild, malls, independent ads, petpages etc. We all do this FOR FREE and it takes up alot of time. You have no idea how much hard work it is to make things run smoothly unless you've tried it. Im not even in TML malls, but I love them and the leaders and members. I tend to doubt the situation happened as you described but whatever

Yeah it's tough. Right now, you see me online pretty much all day every day on this blasted site but once september kicks in... that won't happen, which is why I'm working as much as possible to make sure this site doesnt need as much babysitting.

whats goin on in september?

You have to understand that REAL LIFE is more important than neopets! :P You cant always try harder if you arent even online lols. I know how hard it is to give something up after you spend so much time and effort in it, Im sure its not a decision made lightly

[quote=Kulpio][quote=JerseyGirlie007]In all seriousness, you're not impressing any potenial new mall with your professionalism here Kulpion, lol. My 2 year old is acts more mature than this. Since you had to rant about it, I'll let everyone know why TML closed 3 of their 7 branches, since the question was asked. To put it simply, it was too much for one-two people to oversee. I hated being manager, it was too time consuming. I'm sick and I have a two year old. Good enough reason? Originally, 4 branches were suppose to close, well that was my vote anyway. A lot of people take those that run malls for granted. You know, it's not a paying job guys. It takes up our playing time. If you don't like the way things are run, you can always start up your own mall if you think it's so easy to do. It's not like we enjoy making rules or cutting people. I HATE doing that stuff. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you Kulpion, and I'm sorry you took it so poorly.[/quote] Again... I dont care who i impress or who i dont i am who i am... I dont need to be professional... xD... I am also 16, and am not all serious yes, i have an immature side :) Btw, shouldnt you have thought about the responsibility of running multiple malls before making them... To just kick out 30mallers... that is ALOT of people and ALOT of time and np people have spent to advertise in your malls, and you even lied to 1434sweet... Now that is UNPROFESSIONAL. Dont bang on to be about how good you are...[/quote] Those branches ran for 2 years! I'd say that's a pretty good run :P Real life takes precedent - should I ignore my child to spend more time on a virtual pet site? lol. Now that would be irresponsible. Stop being bitter because we didn't want you in our mall. It's over and done with. Move on with your life! It's sad you're still dwelling on it. BTW, we didn't kick out 30 mallers. You have no idea how many people were placed in other malls or have any of those facts so stop assuming. We all know what happens when you assume. lol [quote] I agree with 1434sweet and as others have said... people running a guild, malls, independent ads, petpages etc. We all do this FOR FREE and it takes up alot of time.

Well said Mel. :) And if you have run anything, Kulpion, like you claim to have done in the past than you would understand that. I'm not giving this thread any more attention because it just doesn't deserve it.

The banner needs to be updated, the NB AD needs to be posted (checking at least a few times before being posted of course), fees need to be collected, updates and reminders need to be sent out.... As you can see owners and really any players that do have responsibility put in so much effort. Of course, as owners and whatever else you don't want anything except to do a good job. We can't be perfect, but we can try to do the best we can, while also keeping in mind that there is a real life that we are responsible for. I would easily make the statement that we all change over time. Our responsibilities and dreams change as well. We can only do the best we can. :)
