I got ban like... at least 2 years ago probably, huge ban apparently because lots of my mall buddies got ban as well (which was total bs because we had huge shops... obviously we do lots of trades, its not like we knew we were trading with scammers!).
Anyways, when I was ban I remember the first page of the notice board thing would always be 3.3million+ and you didn't even get below 2,000 by the last page. Now days the second page top is only like 80,000 neopoints.
So my question is: Are malls just not popular anymore/worth while, or did neopets go on a mass banwave and ruin the economy or are there just simply not as many players anymore?
