Forum shop update

Hi everyone, I know a lot of you have been very patient in waiting for the forum shop to be re-installed. I am waiting for the author to release the gold version, which was supposed to happen a week ago. I am sure it will be out very soon. Until then, I cannot install it.

The current versions have security flaws and cannot be used. The Author for the shop mod has also stopped development of it. It was free back then, but the new one requires a yearly subscription. I've previewed the BETA version and it looks really good and I think worth the cost. It has a lot more features, which you will see for yourselves.

Please be patient a little bit longer. I will estimate within this week. I will check everyday and buy it for the forums when it comes out.

Thanks for your patience this far! We have a record of all your stuff from the old shop so they may take a bit of time to get restored for you. The Mods will see to everyone getting there items and minerals back.

 

A week, pfff. No problem dude.

 

Thanks SC2 =3
I know some people who will be very happy. And with minerals coming back that means more people will post =D (even though they shoudl post because this forum is awesome and not because of the minerals they get <.< )

 

I've been waiting for a while now. A week won't bug me since I've stopped missing it

 

Thanks! You're the best!

 

Wow pay for an extension just because it's the best and you want us the best :> I'll ask Itza to give you a hug in my name.

 

Hmm... Can anyone tell me what it is we are going to buy at the shop, and what we'll be buying it with? (minerals?)

 

Well you will be getting ~100 units of forum currency (minerals). In addition, you will be getting a small but steady flow of minerals by posting. You can earn large amounts at once by helping the community and the site, by winning official competitions, solving riddles, and just generally being a good person. You can spend your minerals on numerous things, like account upgrades (frame, certain privileges, etc.), real life things (SC2, cash), and, by far the most popular, on items (collectibles pets). They're fun

ps sc2, have you considered giving minerals after character count instead of word? I think that'd be more accurate

 

You can get cash?!?!? Wow, that's awesome. I bet the conversion rate is something tiny though, like:
all of the minerals on the forum = $20.
Btw, character count could be spammed in order to maximize your gains, and there are also special format characters that aren't displayed which would also count toward the mineral count. Unless this was heavily moderated, it could get out of hand pretty easily.

It's a good idea though.

 

You can't spam characters because you'll get penalised. You don't earn minerals by posting in Space Junk. Problem solved

And the exchange rate was 170,000 to 20 I think.

 

i want my minerals back. =\

 

we'll get minerals back soon, just be patient, guys ^-^

 

no we wont.... just kidding..... i can wait..... forever, if you say, youll be there too.... lalala

Shop should be up by today's end but please note, redistributing the old items may take some time. I will make another announcement when it is complete.

Thanks!
