More features and uses for Credits [VOTE]

Jun

2010

Aren't you tired of buying/having credits and not having anything good to spend them on? Or not having good to buy credits for? I am.

I mean, we have only 3 things to buy. Almost nobody uses the Gallery, so why making its bandwidth larger? Almost all Forumotions forums get a free domain because of their activity, don't they? The ads can be set for guests only, and they can also be removed via CSS, so why on earth to spend credits on hiding them? To me these uses are more useless than useful Razz

I say techs and FM admins should add more features for them. Here are some ideas you may like...

- Spending credits on Google and Facebook ads (for your forum to be on them)
- Buying some exclusive skins & graphics
- Buying phpBB3 and invision template editing
- A better server where to host your forum
- More HTML pages (suggestion by Master Marc)
- More smilies
- A customized chatbox
- etc.

Why Credits?
Because it's very easy to get them, for people that don't have a bank account but a cellphone!
It's very easy to get money because the members can donate easily and you can get credits from FM contests, as well.

If you like my idea, please help me bumping this topic and also don't forget to vote on the poll above.

Thanks a bunch! salut

Voted Yes.

Only for that what we have available for credits now, I wouldn't purchase them (except maybe for a domain), even if I'd have any.

Voted yes.

If forumotion stops giving away free domain names, then you'll know why, heehee...

I'm voting yes.

So, we should use credits to purchase themes from a site similar to hitskin?

Have you seen some of those themes? heehee...

TheListener wrote:- Buying phpBB3 and invision template editing

Already suggestion and of course I voted yes. My forum is phpBB3 and I'm not switching to phpBB2 or punBB. ( most hated forum versions )

TheListener wrote:- A better server where to host your forum

I'd actually purchase this. A way to get away from the load, lol.

I've suggested that we should be able to purchase more HTML pages for our forums already. My forum offers tutorials and helpful guides, and I have more freedom when it comes to SEO for HTML pages.

@ Marc: Those are good questions and a good suggestion about the HTML pages. There could be a site where people could upload their themes (really good themes), we could buy them, and then they'd get a part of the credits, FM would get the other one.
FM could be finally accepting phpBB3 editing if we give them money. (Hey, who just said bribe? Nah just kidding Razz

)
And the better server would be just awesome Very Happy

Thanks for voting.

@rblatch: Thanks for voting mate!

I voted yes, but some of these things would take a lot of work on Forumotion's end.

I would like more stuff to spend credits on, but there's really nothing you can't already do without spending credits.
