    I know some forums have like a money system, like namepro's has namebucks or something like that.

    With a certain amount you can buy stuff like a custom usertitle and other privileges, or you can trade them to other members for stuff. I believe you get them from posting.

    I was wondering if anyone is interested in having that here and if so would Shawn be willing to do it?

    Sorry if this has been discussed. :)

    While I love the *real* dollars Shawn.. lol, I also like the idea of being able to change my usertitle and maybe bribing other member's with DP Dollars! :D

    Some forums allow usertitle changes after a certain amount of posts and some use the money system.

    good point ... i don't care much for fake/virtual money. :D

    changing your user title will only confuse others.
    i like it when people are always the same name/avatar. helps me recognize them.

    How about this idea... you can trade in your *real* dollars (which you may or may not earn from the revenue sharing) for a user title change. :) hehe j/k

    Hey Kalina, if you don't like it around here, why don't you......

    oh, sorry, had a bad flashback there....... hehe....

    It would not be a big deal as far as I'm concerned. The keyword tracker and the coop and the other tools are my "DP dollars" :)

    I didn't mean your user name I meant the title under your name.

    Don't worry everyone, I am not complaining, I love it here. I just think it's a fun idea! :D

    I'd say no dollars, even though i voted for 'i don't care'. I guess i'd be worried about people posting to get their dollars or points or whatever and not for real reasons. :) It could get out of hand like over at GaiaOnline. OMG

    I have already asked Shawn a thousand times to send money my way, I am still waiting for the bottle to float down my stream.

    I must have picked up a thousand bottles out of the Gulf of Mexico thinking that my Digital Point dollars were inside, but I can tell you that the only thing inside were a few sand crabs.

    Don't waste time waiting and hoping on DP $ folks :confused:

    Did I not read correctly?

    Is this not the suggestions and feedback forum?

    I make a suggestion, all in good fun by the way and someone gives me a "disapprove" rating? If anything it should have been an "I approve" rating considering I was thinking in terms of what's good for the forum.

    I've seen it other places and people like it. I really don't care if it's done here or not, it's just an idea. :mad:

    I guess people should be afraid to make suggestions around here, I won't do it again.

    Good day.

    You have a right to get mad K/C, but don't let that stop you from posting your ideas or starting or responding to threads.

    You look good mad and with your hair a bit messed up :)
