Added IBStore

[Freak]

I just installed a store to the board. I haven't used this before so it will be a learning experience for all of us. What happens is you get points for posts. The points are used to buy things from the board. I will give more details as I figure it out. If anyone has any experience with this please post it here.

I will be enabling it for all members as soon as I figure it out!

OK, I got the store up and running. Here is how it works:

You get:

Points Per a new Topic: 3
Points Per a Reply: 2
Points Per a new Poll: 3
Points for starting topic with 10+ replies: 5

With this money you can buy things from the store once I configure it. You can do things like steal money from other members or the bank, increase your interest rate. Change other members title, avatar and signature. Change your own username and member title. Add effects to your name such as bold, italics, glow. Increase your priivate message storage. Pin your own topics. Upload emoticons and more.

Also, I realized another aspect of the dollars thanks to secrivals. You can use it to make bets with each other.

Have fun and post any questions that you have here.

What defines a "post"? I'm not naming any names (like NCGatorBait) but SOME folks are expert post padders. Does a post have to contain actual text or does this




:bow:


count as a post?


(Luv ya NC. )

All posts count as posts.

I readjusted the point totals above to give 3 points for new post/poll and 2 points for a reply. I also went ahead and reset everyones points to zero. That way everyone is starting from the same point.

I will be adding things to the store this week so start building up your points!

I'm shocked...I'm no padder! ;)

[LadyinOrange]

Dang Freaky, why couldn't you have readjusted the numbers AFTER I posted my poll!?!

[Freak]

Sorry LIO. You had just finished making a few posts when I reset to zero. :(

[LadyinOrange]

You owe me. ;)

[NCGatorBait]

I sent you some and it deducted...did you get it??

[LadyinOrange]

LOL? How would I know? I hope you really didn't do that, although it is very sweet. I'm saving up to buy you a Vol avatar.

[Freak]

Yea, let me know. I want to make sure that is working properly. I don't know if you have to go claim it in the store or not. NC I am sending you $10 tell me if you get it.

It works..I got a PM stating that and not to reply to it...thanks bro...I'll probably keep giving mine away to the Vols here that really want something! B)

You better not do that. Then you won't be able to get even when we pay to change your Avatar or your sig line or whatever else we can think of. :D Also you better be saving up so we can have a big bet on the UT/UF game this year. I was also thinking that we could all bet money on a NCAA BB Tourney bracket.

You can even pay to temporarily ban someone from the board but I don't know if I will enable that one or not.
