Well, I did mention a few days ago, in the Cbox, that I was going to implement some changes some time around the end of the weekend, and here they are (as opposed to over there =P). Possible change number one: An economy type thingy-ma-jig. The current code I have my eye on right now is pretty awesome for a money mod. The only thing is that people won't get money by posting, which means we'll need to do things around RPS to give people teh moneyz. In this topic we can discuss this further (such as what we'll do to keep the economy circulating, etc.) and other specifics (money name, symbol, etc.). Possible change number two: Expedited the conversion to ZetaBoards. The money mod that I mentioned above will require us to have ZetaBoards for it to work. If we convert, there is the chance that our skin will explode and we'll be stuck with a standard skin for a while. Also if we make this conversion, we can't come back to InvisionFree. Number Three: After thinking about it, I have decided that I want to set up some member titles / ranks for our populace. I would like suggestions for all of the current member groups (ie: Guess, Member, Adv. member, etc.). Once we get the titles down, I'll look into getting some nice, shiny badges for them. :ph43r: At the moment, these are the only things that I managed to remember, so now it's time to discuss. Discuss away. Edit: I just remembered that I actually made a wiki for RPS the other day. I haven't started any articles yet, but I guess that's what you guys are for.  RPSWiki |

Zeta sounds cool. It has a lot of better features. The skin might explode, but when KH2A converted it's IF skin carryed on, I just had to re-size it with one click of a button in the ACP. Shiny new badges? Ooooh. The money might work. What would it be used for though? |

I'm good with the conversion. Money sounds cool, we'd find stuff to do with it. We could have guests be intruders, members be grunts, Adv. members be Commanders and the Admins be Deities. I like the badges idea. |

I second panas ideas for labels. As for conversion I am down. I like the idea for currency but I am unsure of what type I would like. Also I will start working on my characters wikis when I get home from work tomorrow. |

Yeah, I'll see when I can get around to turning my characters and rps into wiki articles. |

I'm voting for Zeni in terms of what the money should be called. Or credits. |

Okay, credits sound pretty good. Now we need to figure out what we do to keep money going out to people and then the starting currency for people. |

Hmmm...we can have contests...events in rps can get people money...and starting money should be equivalent for everyone. |

Is there any suggestions for what that special starting value should be? |

Starting value can probably be determined by rank, unless anyone has a better idea. For giving out new credits, I think I've found the best way to put them to use. We can give them out for posting. That might even help sort out this stagnation problem we've been having. Of course, we'll need to look out for spamming, but you can always turn up the flood control and smack up any spammers that are really persistent. I doubt we'll need to worry about that with our current group though. |

Maybe you could gain money for posting in just the RP, and maybe News? The more important areas to the site? |

As I mentioned previously, the better code that I saw doesn't give out money for posting. It's only a manual process of giving out money. The only way we could make this work is to have someone in charge of giving out money to people based on how much they post. Sounds kind of like a normal paycheck. We still need to come up with a value for the beginning. |
