I DON"T GET IT!!!!!!! i'm new so i don't get it, and when my bro was around it didn't exist????? how do you get points? what's forum password? why would i buy one? what about forums access??? WTF? and ppl can change my name from jesus like spie to say, boobers? AHHHH please someone explain what everything does and it's cost! would it be possible in the store to buy yourself out of being banned? (that would be awesome, like bailing out of jail! we should sugest that to n0e!)
You get one point for posting, ten points for starting a thread, .1 points for each view of one of your posts, and x * 5 points for karma. X being the amount of karma points you received. For example, if someone gives your four karma points, you will receive 4*5 points, or twenty points.

It allows you to gain access to either Rants or Raves or the Trash Can, neither of which are really used. Buy something else.

People can ban you from one of the forums, costs a lot of money though. If that happens, you can buy access to that forum back.

Only you can change your name by buying that option in the store. If that name is something that goes against one of the Gaming Forums rules, an administrator may change it without warning. Think before acting.

Well, the things in the store are pretty self - explanatory. If you don't have enough points, it will say the option is out of stock. All prices are listed in the store, which can be found here: http://www.gamingforums.com/ushop.php

Again, that is what the forum access option is for. If you get banned from a forum, you simply buy that option and you will gain your access back.
This sucks! Nothing's left. I was hoping to change my name.
Say, that's a good question. I want the name Nexus but it's taken (by a member who joined 2 years ago and has no posts at all or anything) So, is it possible to change my name to Nexus?
I say though, that we should renew all these options soon. Like in a month or so. I didn't want to save points for nothing!

When you get enough money they become available to you to buy but you have t o have your points out of the bank.
Get rid of the store. I have barely been back, but through my quick exploration of the features, the store has already left a bad taste in my mouth. I think GF should be about the quality of your posts, not the snazzy option that you had to spam to have enough points to buy.
EDIT: As sort of a clarification, I am fine with using the store to create your own unique identity, like through the custom title to be purchased. But, I just need to change my title when I become fully back (I will no longer be gone...), but I only have 100 some points. With the current store layout, I am stuck with my out of date title (created before the store was born). Why not let people change their titles, but still let people buy titles with extra features? The freedoms that the users of GF have always had are being taken away one by one!

that means that someone can be banned from one forum on gamingforums (ex. melee) or can be unbanned from said forum, not that you can ban or unban someone from the whole site.
