    Default Remember style points

    I remember, back at LWS, when we had style points. It was a real fun way of getting people involved to post more. You may argue that people posted more bullshit to get their points up, but that wasn't always the case.

    Any chance of anything like that emerging back here?

    We don't need them and I'm pretty sure most of us don't want them. Besides, the forum is far too small/featureless to warrant having them back. Plus we're far too elitist already.
    Also what would we name them? We're not LWS so style points would be redundant. Casual points/Discourse points sounds retarded.

    This thread is now about what we would call our hypothetical espees.

    Could it be done?

    yes.

    Should it be done?

    Probably not. Really, this isn't LWS.

    I made that agreement with Darwin, who was the person who let me in the first place. And now she's dead.

    okay i really think this is a stupid idea and this is why:

    "It's just an internet currency" is absolutely right, because this won't be tied to real money - style points were. Maybe most of you didn't use style points for anything except measuring e-peen but a lot of people did pay for things (remember when PO blew $250 bux in Anarchy in one weekend) with the points. And even if it had never been tied to real solid gold American dollars, it was still a currency used to "purchase" features. CD doesn't have any features. I mean we could theoretically make it so none of you could change your avatars and shit unless you had CD points but that just sounds gay to me.

    We have no cock lighters (this is for the best trust me), no TGO hats, nothing that anyone would want to spend points on. What would be the purpose? Rep already gives you a visible e-peen, worth more because it's qualitative instead of quantitative (SP would probably be doled out based on number of posts/threads made).

    I think a better use of time would be to bring back post voting and let that tie directly into rep. Which is still pointless and stupid, but at least it wouldn't be "bring back SP when we have nothing to even spend SP on".

    Why don't we just charge a fee to join and then all the mods can split the fees after we pay for the server.

    well I could install that system I had before the CD hard drive crash. Atomosfear had a hardon for it.


    Edit: really I'm going for something that has the least amount of effort.
