WGDs, Stores, and Items
I think it may be impossible, or maybe just infeasible, but I wanted to say it anyway.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I don't think it is either impossible or infeasible... since we had them once, and to the best of my knowledge there are a whole bunch of money mods floating around the PHPBB community.
I don't think we need them, though.
Edit: if we do get them back, I demand my status as a WGD multi millionaire be reinstated!

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I don't even remotely expect to get it back but I just want it to be know that at one time, after playing all those casino games on and off for a month, I was right on the verge of 50% of the Bank total!!
If I had ever reached 51% the Watch would have been mine!
Mine I tell you!!!
And I was the 2005 Spam King too, God-damn-it!!!

I was always surprised at the size of my WGD bank account -- and inevitably, by the time I got wind that there was more in the store to buy, most of the good stuff was gone. So -- meh.

Bring back the WGD!! 
(But not the casino, which invalidated the entire point.)
And we don't have to do anything with them.
(aTOMic's board has an interesting system...karma. Anybody can exalt or smite a post you make, depending on their opinion of it, increasing or decreasing your karma. Not saying implement that, just that WGD doesn't automatically mean there has to be a shop.

Well, personally, I liked the shop, because I had too much fun making new icons and item descriptions. Heh.
Plus, I still have a hundred of those icons lying around, just waiting to be used, heh.
Although if we ever bring it back, I would probably want to revamp the whole system. Make it more fair.
However, the last I remember, the main reason we had to get rid of it was because of the security (aka hacker) problem.
So I think any WGD/shop system is dependant on finding a secure mod.
And I am always open to adding other new mods. I've just been too busy to play around with them. You all can take some initiative too, ya know. Heh.-jay
