Holy shit, I sound like a communist!

Funny, to me this was sounding like the Civil War, and the White Gold Dollars representing Confederate money. Now they are no good.


Was there a civil war from when I started to when I really strongly started posting?

Yes, I do agree with that.

Heh, you all are never going to let this go, eh? Heh.

Anyway, yes, I agree with everyone. I loved the idea of having a shop to buy little trinkets (I loved making new ones even more). I'm totally in favor of bringing back WGDs and making them more fair (and less of a wealth/greed issue).

But...it's not going to happen until someone finds us a secure forum mod to make it.

However...maybe it would be possible to bring back the shop in a more unofficial manner.-jay

In an ON topic comment....VIVA WHITE GOLD DOLLARS!

Palladium is a chemical element with symbol Pd and atomic number 46. It is a rare silver white transition metal of the platinum group, resembling platinum chemically. It was discovered in platinum ores in 1803, and named after the asteroid Pallas by William Hyde Wollaston.

all on topic to this topic.

OK. I've been looking at this and I think the latest versions are a lot more secure etc than the first version.

Will see what I can do about re-instating WGD's and all the little bits and pieces that went with it

Yay!!!!!

meh

Sounds cool. I like it mainly for the shop.

If we do re-add it, I think we'll have to re-work it so that it doesn't get abused as much (remove the casino and the ability of mods to give people money).

-jay

I agree with the first part, but the second? If mods don't reward people for good posting, the only other thing is post count. I believe the only problem was with one particular mod, and as long as there are firm guidelines... My two cents, anyway.

I agree, the casino made a mockery of the WGD system.

Right, I agree. I was mainly thinking of that one mod when I said that, heh. But you're right, with guidelines to prevent abuse, mod rewards could be a good idea.-jay

I'll raise another 2 cents.
