OHHH!Nice link! I Didn't know

[SwampThing]

Well... now that several people has been catapulted into the land of several thousands of pieces of eight, I have only one question:

When will I get my cut? I did after all translate 126 game reviews.

Well? Hand it over!

How much piece of eight do you get for submitting Extras? translating Review? etc? a list would be good.

but VIP Section shouldn't be the only way to get purchased with piece of eight? for example a own Usertitle or such?

@Frodo + Swampthing you are not alone. i too did submitting some Extra.

Unfortunately this system doesn't give credit to some important things...the help on troubleshooting, the help on requests, the help on Ab games discussions and many other.
But all these things gives respect!

I only know what I've told you. Anything else would be pure conjecture at the time.

Thanks Japofran, the link you sent reference the Spanish Dollar was great..May I pose another question? Why do we need pieces of eight?..SAL

[The Fifth Horseman]

All has been explained above.

Oof, looks like credit is being given for stuff other than quizzes now... Ah well, my short time near the top was fun anyway.

(Also, being around since Jul 2006 makes me a "newbie". Sweet! Edit: Fixed...)

:confused:

I hope they aren't finished attaching games, reviews etc to users yet. I seem to be a little disconnected at the moment.

Was Geezer when we could have an alias screen name for the forums that was seperate from the user name. But that is another problem and another topic.

Last time I spoke with Kosta about the pieces of hearth (in the beta testing), he said that the VIP status always been intended as some kind of reward for those who are helping the site going, and not as a vacation resort for old contributing members who hardly ever even visit the place anymore like it unfortunatly is right now. The VIP private forum been deserted for a loooong time now.

When it will be fully implemented, this system will automaticaly upgrade those who are high enough to VIP status and downgrade those who didn't do much in a while or plainly stopped visiting the site or stopped helping out.

Since I didn't do much in updates and reviews, and that the system is unlikely to keep track of forum use and my help in the troubleshooting forum, I expect to lose my VIP status shortly after it's implemented.

The trivia on the main site it probably my only way to stay competitive...
