Pad Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Originally posted by MTV2 What was the point system even for? battles? For every thread/reply you got some points and with these points you could buy some extras, like a name with glow, name in bold/italic, a sticky, a user title,...

Oh, that's why we can't see the glow? I just figured they just took the glows out, being lazy enough to also leave the hex-entry in the UserCP.

MTV2 Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Why doesn't everybody with 1025 posts or over don't have Glow? I mean who doesn't want the Glow?I can't wait till I get glow!or is it that they don't know how to get the glow? (*mutters*251 posts in 1 1/2 months, 502 posts in 1 1/2 months later(yay new name thing at the top) 1004 posts in 1 1/2 months after 3 moths, then about another 2 days GLOW!

Yay! 3 more months!*mutters*) This post is just one of many reasons why we don't have it anymore. Believe it or not, there was a time where people would madly post in stupid topics like the "Vs Thread" with such heart felt poetry such as "Darth Vader vs a Bowl of snot", or "Yoda Vs Chicken Nuggets", just so they could get that user custom title thingy in a few days' time. I think when we did the point system thing, it was that transitional time between LA games and the forums were kind of dead, so we were just trying out things. The point system failed in every aspect. Hacks found ways to post links that would leach points off of people, then people were crying about loosing points/ getting cheated....whatever. The head ache was more than it was worth. As far as the battle/rpg thing. Never tried. Not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I geuss the point system was chaotic... and with winning a sticky! there would just be so many, that there would be no more for threads and they would be so pointless...

ZBomber Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Admit it, the point system was fun. Chaos EVERYWHERE. People's custom titles changed, people who didn't have 1000 posts couldn't change them back, so they had names like "Big loser" and "Stupid head".

Alegis Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Ah man too bad i missed that As for firefox not displayin it; yeah. its why i took it off anyways. I guess it should work if you change the tag a bit (span color instead of font colour, not sure) in viewtopic.php (or viewthread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
