Mall Closed

Thanks so much, it's been fun! Due to a recent scandal involving virtually all of the merchants at the Pacoima Ranch Mall, we opted to close the mall. The depth of this scandal is beyond anything we have ever seen before. Cheating on sales approached 100%, with some merchants reporting thousands of clickthroughs, yet no one bought anything. We doubted it when we spotted and still do. Many merchant refused to back up their figures - most simply ignored our requests.

To our many loyal surfers, we thank you from the bottom of our heart for helping us by buying from the mall. We may revisit the idea of offering quality, mall-environment shopping again in the future. Obviously, we will have completely different arrangements with merchants and a strong anti-cheat clause with real teeth to it. It is your mall staff's opinion that affiliate shopping networks will all shortly cease to exist over this scandal.

No surfers were taken advantage of in any way by the scandal, the cheating was between the merchants and the mall.
