The issue is our programmers have all grown up and don't have as much time to write programs for a children's game like they did five years ago. Without them there's no substance to reel new users in.

If we're going to thrive after neopets dies we're either going to need to be one kickass community somehow, or dig up some programmers for games that aren't as popular. Flight Rising is the only one, but that game has minimal to do,and also wouldn't bring in as big a crowd with the bigger risk of getting caught cheating.

We have to expand into other games, and become a "Gaming Forum" instead of "Neopets programs for everyone" like the top bar of the forum currently says.

 

Just to clarify for scaremongering people like ortin, if we had to cut our expenses to the bone (i.e. just the essentials like hosting and domain registration etc) we could keep going for years with no revenue so there's definitely no need to worry.

Is that really how we would want to go out though? How about switching the focus to a hugely popular game and paying a programmer to design programs which are the best on "the scene" and attract a huge portion of that user base? If the finances are in that good of shape, why not take a little risk and try to shift and grow the site, instead of just delaying our demise indefinitely? It seems like with proper administrative direction we wouldn't have a ton to worry about. (I don't mean that as a shot at administration, it just seems like there's no plan at all, and admins are just waiting around to see what happens next and then maybe going from there, or maybe doing nothing)

I gave you 10+ years and Golden Trader.

 

I think it's 10 years. If not, it's because I can't math. 

You da fuckin best, you da fuckin best!

Is it possible for programs to have a better process for dealing with no internet connection? Like I run Abrosia on a scheduler but it gives me errors when I wake my laptop from sleep about not being able to contact the database, and eventually stops working. 

 

Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted in this thread

I'm not high enough for this 

r94 clothing item? Hell yes I would accept that

I don't need to be told that every community is dysfunctional.

It's not a matter of not wanting to deal with it. We want people to identify Neocodex as a software/services provider that has a community that supports this endeavour. Having people like Kami around who don't fit into this image at all only serves to degrade the image we want for our site. I can name many others whose purpose on this site is pretty questionable and that I don't particularly like to have around.

Then ban them, as you did. Those people aren't your core...You have a forum promoting (successfully in my opinion) a product/service for sale. You have a community which is mostly a great group of people willing to chat, and assist in product support. I don't think removing the community will promote the long-term growth of your products, if that is indeed your goal. Are you upset with those members causing havoc the community because it hurts the community, or because it hurts the appeal of your product?

I put this together in about ten min a week or so ago. More rap than you seem interested in, but maybe it will get you started.

Environmental Engineering, Air Quality, Title V and PSD. I also farm some, sell some timber, ginseng, a weed or two.

I know that story is rough, and I don't know if I even have the cerebellar tissue left to write any more. I did have some success in my youth.

How much do you charge for weed?

Don't be a dick

My panties are fine, I just think if people are using rep as a weapon to hurt people, they should have it taken away.

A weapon?! We are talking about the little green up arrow and red down arrow, right? Come on now

I shave once every 10 days due to my shift pattern at work. If it wasn't for work, I wouldn't shave. Unfortunately I can only grow a "mohammed" beard as so many people like to tell me.

This. Although my beard is red blonde and brown in various areas so it's kind of weird. I'm like a calico human

i smell ruckus

I'm really glad you posted this. Thank you

Best seasonal beer imo
