Do we want to consider having a gil system on the new site to see if we can do anything funky with it? Maybe like having a shopping area to buy either custom things or userbit items like the awards?

Give a detailed example, I have no idea what you're suggesting here O.o

it's a forum hack that allows for like...marketplaces within the site - buy awards and gifts, etc etc.

And these awards and gifts would be what? I may have joined after these were removed from QCDN, if they were even on here. And just so we're clear, we're talking about using gil from in game?

i say we hold off on that (or any other lofty aspirations) until we get the core elements of the site working and aesthetically pleasing.

Agreed.
 
Sounds like it's something you'll see on a NeoPets site or IMVU, or some other teen site. I personally don't like the idea.
 
Honestly, I've never personally liked message board currency hacks. Some boards have completely useless things (ohh, buy this shiny banner for x monies), while others have you being charged for every little thing (pay 10 rubles to change your avatar!).

I'm rather proud to say I helped come up with that idea and our site at the time was the first and only one to have a system like that :)

/stops bragging


As unique as it was back then, it's a bitch and a half. Its extremely complicated because it touches just about every part of the forum with its myraid of options. It makes upgrading difficult and if every want to move off vbulletin, it could be difficult.
