Suggestion

The site I get my hosting through has a forum, and the forum has a shop. Its pretty fun really. It has items like:
Change username
Glowing Name
Double Size of Signature (limit)
Add an emoticon (upload it via ftp)
Pin a Topic
Post a message in the calander
Increase Post Count
buy password to the adult section of the forum


etc.

You earn "eZillions" by posting - you get a certain amount for posts, and another certain amount for making new threads. They also dish them out for quizes/etc. too.

I think its pretty fun - not sure how often it would be used here - but just an idea to kick around.

It's also an Invision Power Board - a lower version too - so I assume its something that could be implemented.

btw - for big ticket items, they also allow you to buy them via paypal (investment opportunity maybe??)

this has been mentioned a bunch of times, like a rep system. but the pleas never get answered

looks tacky and people post for the wrong reasons.

Thats why ya gotta mention that they can make money by having people buy the credits/eZillions/whatever.

well, with the ones we want, you can only buy stuff for rep points, which people give, not by having a big post count.

sounds good but will still make the forum tacky, but whatever, aint my forum

I'm on another board with rep - doesn't have all the fancy stuff listed above - but newbies get to see who not to screw with right away.

im down for rep points but buying flashy names and dimond incrusted dildos isnt my thing

doesn't all have to be flashy - I tried to omit a lot of that stuff - since I agree it wouldn't really fit in at a place like this. Just might gay it up a bit.

But there could be some cool things - for instance, if you had to buy a password to the adult forum, etc. make it a prestige thing - like the VIP section.

And you call your self a human being.

flashy names? we are not niggers, we dont want bling-bling.


Go with the rep points.

LMAO!

Yeah, the rep points where sooooo close to being added, thats the stuff we need like others said.

I guess rewards for getting rep wouldn't be too bad, but I don't really like the idea of buying stuff exactly....

We where also talking about a shop for group merch, DVD's and stuff, that would be cool.

Sounds like a cheap gimmick to me.

do we have a concert sub-forum?? if not we really should do!!1
it could have concert reviews and updates and I just think it would be a good topic but that is just me I don't know who else would be down with it,
I didn't make a thread cause I'm shite at makeing them and all I get is abuse cause there so badly done,
oh yeah on the subject of the thread I like the rep points idea.

What do you mean by "concert?" as in live music?? :S

By the sound of it, it sounds like some sort of page for a constant reviews updates and other things regarding HG??
If so it's been suggested a million times before, I know ALOT of people like the idea too.

you seriously think this place needs to be any gayer? honestly its practically HornyGayForums already.

omg what is it about today and classic sayings!, thats going in the quote book!

you should to a thread with all the classic quotes and update it constantly

hahaha well I might just do that when I get back from newquay, might even take the quote book down with me.... and get some classics

Well, yeah - but only if they make us pay for them. But thats where it looks like a good deal to the administrators. Give the community something fun to play with, and in return - they get a few bucks "donation" here and there.

Steve - I thought you were a newbie there for a minute - I was about to explain how this thread wasn't for ALL suggestions.

There should be a merch section, where groups sell DVDs, t-shirt, stickers, etc.

^ that would be a good idea - but probably a pain in the butt to organize.

Yay, I always wanted a glowing name. FUN!

wow.... 16 hours since your last remark to think that one up.. I'm impressed.

Nah, it wouldn't be too hard, each trusted group could manage their own if gman setup a script.

Yeah, the last 16 hours Ive spent thinking of this thread. You got me dude.

True, didn't think of that.
