If you guys see anyone using the Nursery mall banners please mail me here. I don't want any Chris_mcdonalds "borrowing" graphics...

I'm part of the Nursery Malls (the Playground) and it's great (: Anyone who says otherwise is well.. *cough* Hmm.. does anyone think that he would stop if someone made him his own banner? Stealing Roo/Nursery banners :o well at least they pick the best looking banners (in my opinion) :p Although we'd rather them not steal any banners at all! And.. If all these people want to start their own malls, it doesn't really bother me. I'm not competing with them and if it makes them happy then why not? I don't like that one of thegraphicbin's premades is called "Blue Oasis", since there is already a decent group of malls that are "The Oasis Malls" and it's just too similar for me. .:| Paint Brushes |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner

Yes, The Nursery is a well run mall with three other well run branches. We've been around for quite a while. Maybe not as long as yours, but enough to not be considered an "annoying micro-mall". I don't add noobs either, unlike the annoying micro-malls, because they're annoying, not good for business, and I just don't feel like tolerating them. So no, we don't add noobs. We're just friendly, and we appreciate being taken seriously. =) Thanks. And it's most likely you saw some fakes, there are many of those out there unfortunately that like to steal our graphics. ._. I could name off a certain name right now that really got on my case. XD

i usually rate malls based on how often it has openings + banner graphics. A good mall with dedicated members barely have openings (since they're dedicated) and quality banners that dont look like it got created in 5 seconds.

Hi Victor. =) The Babies doesn't have openings. XD The others do, but the Preschool manager flipped out and quit Neopets for no apparent reason we can think of, and we're getting back on our feet and filling the spots back in slowly but surely. We have dedicated members, and it's not fair to them for others to call them not dedicated... :/ Many have been around since the the malls started, and the managers are dedicated as well, all managers are married. Cris has a kid, Larissa has a kid, I have...three. XD Though we still put in loads of time into the malls. If you ran a mall with shop sizes limits like ours, you'd find too that it's hard to keep members because usually Neopians with smaller sizes are (I'm going to be stereotypical) noobish. =) Being dedicated isn't the issue, the issue is the younger Neopians who go back and forth between what they want. I add older Neopians any chance I get since they're more serious about this than others. Whew, lots of writing! Gotta go change a smelly diaper. x) P.S. I do agree on the small malls that accept sizes like 5, they can get very annoying, very fast. ._.

(Remember that with any group of malls that have a good many branches.) I think recently that is why the Playground was nearly half empty because so many moved up into the Nursery or Preschool. But we've filled a lot of the spots up already (: .:| Paint Brushes |:. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=heartlessness_&banner

Oh yeah, that's right! I was going to say something of the sort and then completely went off in my own world. x) I remember when the Playground was at almost ten openings. x.x Peaches was asking A LOT of people to join the Preschool, more than enough. Made everything imbalanced and scary. :/

Yeah, and I didn't exactly understand her logic because I had (still have) some mallers that are around size 85 in my branch, which would be okay for The Playground, but she was asking them to be in The Preschool and having them vigorously upgrade to at least 125. :/ I wouldn't mind if they went to the Playground cause it needed some members, but I thought the Preschool was fine and that we needed to focus on getting the Playground some members. So that was kind of blowing it. Dx
