Echuu Shen-Jon Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Why. And which features, we could buy earlier will be gone in a while? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Point system is going, as it has been misused and out lived it's time. It is being replaced with a new kind of store though. And again, many of the features have gone due to certain people misusing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles_CL Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I heard that some of the stuff you can buy now will be available free with the new system.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I liked the points system... It gave a reason to get people posting. And what features will we still have, and what will be new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 That is correct, for example sig images will be avalible to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Originally posted by james_isaac I liked the points system... It gave a reason to get people posting. Well i think it's a good thing that the point system is on its way out. I think the [only] reason to get people posting should be to have a good discussion and to bring interesting ideas to a topic. I think it's really stupid to want to be the top poster, simply to be the top poster.... I'd rather have 300 posts but everyone thinking i always bring good points, than having 3000 spammish posts. note: i'm not saying here that people with high post counts are spammers, not all of them.

Echuu Shen-Jon Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Coupes said it. I will also continue to post, it's not that. I just asked why it's deleted! Oh, and James: You can't use your av and sig. The maximum allowed is av: 70x70 and sig image 500x80! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles_CL Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Yeah I enjoy posting...Loosing the point system won't affect me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 The point system is being removed for several reasons. It isn't generally accepted. It creates a lot of spam. It creates a hostile environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Yeah, but if everyone is able to get a sig pic .. 1. from start on .. it will cause much more traffic, beside of all the XXX-pics the newbies will send .. So have fun you admins and mods with handle it then. 2. depended from the posts count, it will cause spams again. (also for anything that will be available at a number of posts) So keep on having fun as it is all you admins and mods. some people cant just let it flow. everybody's greedy if someone has more points and can do this and this. Yeah. What about wait some time, and the be able to do it too? Crap. So it isnt the pointsystem.. YOU DAMN PEOPLE IS IT. YOU CANT BEHAVE, i say. Plus it seems that Admins had almost their 19th nervous breakdown. Because of some one cut some custom titles .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh... Oh well... I'll just cut down my av. (because it is only 5 pixels too big, and there is that much space at the edge) and I will cut down and scale down my sig. image.

I'm not saying that the points system made me want to spam. It made me want to stay on the forums over time. If there was not points system, then more people will probably only stay for a week or so, then leave. The points system gave them a reason to stay. And also, how will we get a username when the system goes? Will it be free? And what about a custom title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echuu Shen-Jon Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 It has always been possible to do that without points Just achieve 1000 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
