Father Torque Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Originally posted by Eldritch I've got to agree with Agen and some of the others in here. I think that sig pics are a good way to showcase creativity, so long as they're kept within boundries for those on dial-up. Put a cap on filesize, like with the avatars. The glowy names I don't care one way or the other about, but I think that the glowy names (and the sig) should be dependent on post count. And STTCT, how in the hell do you have 270,000 points? The store went berzerk. People started getting hundreds of thousands of points. I got 100,000. And the Cheat got 1,000,000 and there were many others who got many points. Where have you been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldritch Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Torque, I stick to just a couple of forums around here, and hadn't heard. Nor have I been to the store in awhile since I've already bought everything I wanted. So how'd it go berserk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 basically a lot of people started begging for points for no particular reason. then when certain people with a lot of points started to abuse the store, most of the store's features were turned off. basically they started changing EVERYONE'S title. I had mine turned TWICE. Once by a friend, and once by some dude I'd never seen before. The one by my friend didn't bother me. But the one by the guy I'd never seen before pissed me off because he did it just to be a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbguy1211 Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 i *think* torque was one of the people who started this whole mess to be honest. but i could be wrong. [edit] all i know is i read a thread by some schmuck claiming to have months to live or something stupid like that and all his life's hope was to get loads of points donated to him. crap like that... like someone on their deathbed would be f'n around on the internet.

Jedi Apprentice Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I'm with a lot of other people: If it can be saved easily, then keep it. If not or if it doesn't even work at all with the new system than dump it. I like the glows, as they are good-looking and can be used to go along with your avatar, but I was never a fan of the points system anyways. Maybe after 2000 posts though? Although, I have used this battle system before and let me say, it is way better than the points system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[RAA]-=Chi3f=- Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Originally posted by Lil Killa you never started your sarcasm ([sarcasm]) Actually, I believe he started that tag on July 2002. I have yet to close mine as well. As far as Thrik is concerned.... Who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NymKaros Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Originally posted by STTCT it gives a goal.... don't worry it won't be long till you achieve it i think it encourages people to spam so they can get their name glowy. but glows don't seem that good so it might not be encouraging people to spam. who knows. o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
