Luey Fubar Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Call me an idiot, but hwat do points do? The ones below your name and Avatar, I've never seen them before on any forum. If they're for something special, how are they distributed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 It's a new feature they have implemented. You receive points, or credits, for each post you make, and you get more for each person that replies to it. Go here for more details. NOTE: This is NOT an excuse to spam! If you get your post deleted you will lose points, and more than what the post initially gave you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 There's a mod for a day thing? Is that wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by Jan Gaarni There's a mod for a day thing? Is that wise? exactly.... if you have 3000 points.... you can be a mod for a day (if you buy it) and i just heard that this guy did it in 30 minutes.. ( the points) and he was mod... and he messed up and got banned. but i just heard it... and i dont know if i can believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 You can use your points to become "mod for a day???" *shudders to think* I'll have to go back and look at the list....I didn't see that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Personally, I am anxiously awaiting the day I can free up the name I want. ;D Though a new title could be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 When it says change custom title or change user name does that mean you have to pay to change it? It thought that you used to be able to do that for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Yes. To the best of my knowledge that is how it works. You get the points for using the boards, then you can us those points to change your name, title, others names and titles. Also, it has several other cool functions such as the glowing name and the like. To view the various functions, click on the 'User CP' icon in the upper left hand corner, then use the jump selection, choosing forum home. On the left hand side of the screen there is an icon for 'store'. Click on that to view the different features and prices. 1700 to change someones name. "Argue with me will you, well then I will just have to change your title to 'Village Idiot'", warns the sinister Emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 So Wraith, I just noticed that I can't change someone elses user name. In the event there is a user name that is taken, but has never been used, what would it take for me to assume that name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 That's just aweful. The name I want has never even made a post. What a waste. Let's start a complaint thread and forward it to the admin. As per usual, I am starting trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
