The GF Store?
 
We've come to the point on where we need to decide if we are keeping some of the new hacks. The Store is one of them. If we keep the store we will find new benefits and new dirty tricks that we can pull on people. If we don't keep the store everyone can live peacefully again without getting their Custom Title's changed (AzH). Well its up to the community now so vote!

I don't like it just because

Re: The GF Store?
 
I thought and still think it's a good idea. Maybe it needs to improve but IMO, we should keep it. After all, it's the only way for the non-admins to make some dirty tricks. :rolleyes:

i like the store. i think it adds a little fun.

Re: The GF Store?
 
i like it. just whish there was more info about it. i.e how much stuff costs. and how many points you get for doing thngs. like when it started i used to get 5 point for a reply. now i get 1. just would have liked to have know that was coming.

I like it, but that faq has to get made when you guys are finished with it. So far its 5 to 5, but i hope you keep it! :)

I hate to say it is somewhat dumb but was a good attempt at getting some more activty on the forums:D I don't want some n00b to me from a forum on the basis that he hates me. Also having to spend 525 pts to change your title is stupid. Unless you get some karma quickly or have 525 posts you can't chage your title from the defult.

don't worry, it will come. again, i'm sorry for not having updated the FAQ yet. i'm just waiting for the sawdust to settle before i begin.

I don't really care if we have a store or not. Doesn't matter to me.

I like it. adds a bit of fun to the forum expiriance.

i got my bold name, i dont need the store annmore.

Ghost July 8th, 2004 06:53 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I think the store is a pretty cool and adds more fun. I do think that it should be easier for you to change your custom user title.

SteveCormacke July 8th, 2004 06:55 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I don't care either way :uhm:

Gamer42 July 8th, 2004 08:20 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
yes, keep it.

I think it gives you your own style.

ScOrPY July 8th, 2004 08:32 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
Yes, keep it, it spices up the place.

Exploder July 8th, 2004 08:52 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I like the store but I don't like the fact that you gain only 1 point per reply and needing to spend points to change your title that's plain stupid

Da-Ko July 8th, 2004 09:04 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I don't care either way either. I don't like the fact that I only get 1 point per post because it will take me months to buy anything good.

ScOrPY July 8th, 2004 09:08 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
And thats the point obviously, it shouldn't take a short amount of time to be able to buy most things, you have to be a regular member.

BobDole July 8th, 2004 09:33 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I don't like the store cause I have to buy a good user title and that takes a long time to save up for

Re: The GF Store?
 
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!)

The store is only a couple of weeks old.

Quote:

how do you get points?
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.

Quote:

what's forum password? why would i buy one?
It allows you to gain access to either Rants or Raves or the Trash Can, neither of which are really used. Buy something else.

Quote:

what about forums access???
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.

Quote:

WTF? and ppl can change my name from jesus like spie to say, boobers?
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.

Quote:

AHHHH please someone explain what everything does and it's cost!
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:

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.

Re: The GF Store?
 
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.

Keep it but add more customisation features and fun features.

Spartan July 9th, 2004 08:22 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
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! ;)

Spartan u back!

so is it true i can buy my bro (ATI4EVER!) out of beein banned?!

pInK_eLePhAnT July 9th, 2004 08:47 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
where'd you get that from? you can't buy the right to unban someone.

last 3

and page 1 of this thread some1 said you could, near the end.

pInK_eLePhAnT July 9th, 2004 08:56 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
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.

Sorry to bust your bubble jesus but shes right. If hes banned from the site theres no way to unban him. (unless you become very good friends with some of the admins and ask them to unban him http://gamingforums.com/images/smilies/winkx.gif)

jesus likes pie July 9th, 2004 09:03 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
if i become very good friends woth one of them, would they still unban him if he was permanently banned?

Ghost July 9th, 2004 09:07 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
Sure but I doubt that you could do it. Why do you want to unban him so bad? Just make a new account save yourself the work.

ScOrPY July 9th, 2004 09:08 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
No.

jesus likes pie July 9th, 2004 09:12 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
NO what? lol.


this is him: http://www.gamingforums.com/member.php?u=63493

many posts had 2 dots of rep etc. etc.

they will ban him if he makes another acount, i'm his bro. He doesn't want to cheat his way back in here so...

Spruce Moose July 9th, 2004 09:47 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
I think the store is awesome. It adds more to the forum than just posting. Its also fun to screw around with a few buddies, joke around with them.

Keep GFStore!

MaDDoG1221 July 14th, 2004 02:24 AM

Re: The GF Store?

I'm fine with the store...

Darknight July 14th, 2004 09:31 AM

Yes

Re: The GF Store?
 
It's one of the unique additions to the forum that helps add an element of fun as well as motive to be a better member. Keep the store.

I think its cool

Silent_Killer1 July 15th, 2004 04:58 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
Everything is so expensive. I better post a ton more lol.

MaDDoG1221 July 15th, 2004 05:04 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
how do you know how much everything it costs, does it say in the FAQ?

Thanks Scorpy, didnt realize everything cost so dam much :(

Li77L3_b0y July 15th, 2004 05:15 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
Yeah, that's the only "problem" I have with the store. It would be pointless to have everything cheap though...

Dreadnought[DK] July 15th, 2004 05:15 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
you have to work for it

Biggus Dickus July 15th, 2004 05:18 PM

Re: The GF Store?
 
...As in the real life...Nothing is cheap. Not even the air.
