What if we had a refer a member option on the site. Like when a new member enters their name and email they could also enter a current members name and that person would recieve Points or whatever the *crag* you want to call them.
These points could be spent on some of the features from the old site like maybe Fireworks or the Smokeball. For instance, maybe you recieve 2 points per refferal and it costs 5 to light a Firework. This would allow us to have some of the more unique parts of the old site back with the added benefit of less item spamming and no *crag*ing coin economy to deal with.
Not only that but points, or sure why not *crag*ing call them coins, would have some actual value as opposed to before when they were just an unlimited resource. There is always the possibilty of people just making one-shot email accounts or even using proxies, and while there would definetly be ways to combat that it seems kind of stupid too at this stage.
I think everyone here wants new members, and an inccentive to go and seek out new people in the vast corners of the internet is never a bad idea.
Not only that, put the new Coins would actually be a valid reward in contests.
This of course is all up to Francis as I'm sure this system would take a shit load of work, but I really don't care if it gets implememted. I just want to get some ideas out there so we can get the ball rolling on this shit.
Sadly you are mistaken.
loafSKZ, the site has a theme... 8-bit style. Which I think would attract gamers, no?
