Good idea, I have wasted 600 credits on two glows which is a rip-off and is quite unfair.

Joshi · 01-12-2003, 01:25 PM

what i don't get is why italic name's cost 500 creds when the glos costs 300, it just seems weird, that's all.

Oh,you might change it after you decided what to get. like you can only put one custom title into the title slot,for example.

And neil,I also put that point up a page or 2 ago,but they havent responded to that.

Recently, there has been a deal of abuse in the store originating from the approve post feature. Let it be known that we log these things and check when user has an uninterrupted string of approved posts, coming from the same user, and well into the hundreds of credits. Penalty will vary, but I've banned everyone I've caught doing it from the store, and I will continue this practice.

wot aprove post feature? did i miss something here? xplain me, plz

Look at the bottom of your post, see it? If you approve a post, the user will receive 1 point. Dissaproving will decreased the users points by 1.

See, I approved you post!

-s/<itzo- · 01-18-2003, 01:38 PM

i good idea for the glowy name feature is to have an option where you can change the color when you want. and set the prize for 500.

and this whole rate a post thing, i really think its a bad idea (but thats just me).

i thrice that...i personally love my glow color...but i dont want to have to buy a new one it i decide blue isnt really my color...

I'm not really bothered about this points system, as it seems to me that it is simply a way of enslaving every LucasForums user, with promises of shiny green glowing names, and crazy sticky threads that just won't go down.

It'll be interesting to see how the administrators eventually have thousands of puny forum members, hurling the latest news at them and effectively running their websites for a couple of points a day, quitting their jobs to go and steal the film reel for Star Wars episode III in exchange for a signature picture, or whoring themselves out to the mods and admins for a custom user status.

Personally, I think there should be LucasForums fridge magnets, purchasable for 100,000 points. And as soon as I rack up enough points (unintentionally and without motivation, of course), I'm selling them on eBay.

scabb · 01-31-2003, 07:44 PM

Oh, and a good way of improving LucasForums would be to shower the contributors of Troubleshooting FAQs or the answerers of "How do I get this running in XP?" questions with points.

Sam · 02-23-2003, 10:22 PM

I have an idea but I don't know how it would be done. we could have games like flash games or whatever and the points you win in those games could add to your points for the store.

***Lynk Former*** · 02-24-2003, 01:44 AM

Somehow I don't think that'd work too well for some reason, sounded like a good idea though.

*Wraith 8* · 03-01-2003, 08:27 AM

whats does this have to do with idea's for the point system?

cancon · 03-07-2003, 04:31 AM

hi all what is the hotel room for

please tell me as i must be the only one to have 0 credits

**leXX** · 03-07-2003, 07:07 AM

You can buy a hotel room and invite all your friends for a private chat that only the invited can read. Basically it's a private chat room.

***Lynk Former*** · 03-07-2003, 07:12 AM

Only thing it isn't very effective... better to get MSN or AIM or something...

Hekx · 03-24-2003, 11:36 AM

Does anyone know how to change your MIDI song in your profile without having to pay another $850 credits?

I don't have any option in my UCP or Profile about it.

***Lynk Former*** · 03-24-2003, 11:44 AM

Well the midi file that you have chosen in your profile is on an external location. If you want that midi song to change upload a different midi with the same file name as the midi you are using now onto the same place where your previous midi was and it will write over the old midi. Then there you go you've got your new midi song.

I have my midi file as midi.mid in my website so i can just upload any other midi i want with that filename onto my site and I'll have a new midi song playing

Katarn07 · 03-31-2003, 07:34 PM

Lottery! We need a lottery. A once a week thing where you can buy as many 10 credit tickets as you want, and the credits go into a pool, and somehow the winner is randomly selected. Of course, the more tickets you have, the better the odds of you getting all the credits. This sounds cool, no?

Also, we should be able to buy each glowy name color at 50 each, and then switch off from colors we have already gotten.

ie I got a red/ orange one for 300, paid 50 for a white one, I should be able to switch to red/ orange without the 50 credits lost again...

**swphreak** · 03-31-2003, 07:40 PM

Yea, a lottery would be neat, they have one at EchoBase.

And I thought the glows are 50 points after you bought it once.

Hekx · 04-08-2003, 10:10 PM

Lottery sounds like a good idea.

I wouldn't mind seeing more 'bought' options changeable in your User Control Panel.

Glow, Italic and MIDI for example.

*Deft Aklin* · 05-09-2003, 06:04 PM

Heheh, I love it when I get to voice my opinion.

1) First, I think MIDI songs in your profile should follow suit with Glows and let you change them for a diminished amount of credits. Reason, my MIDI file disappeared and I have to get e new one.

2) Also, what about a title glow option. Boba Has one, Matt does too. I want one. Pretty Pretty please?

Das Mole · 05-09-2003, 07:59 PM

i like that lottery idea, that'd be really cool.

btw- is it possible to get one part of your username glowing one color and another part glowing a different color?
