    Add a forum store

    My suggestion is to have a forum based store that allows you to purchase items. I have been on other forum stores that have it. It is a great way to make money for DR and have fun in the process. Best part is users can screw around with each other for fun but users can't screw around with staff, but staff can screw around with regular users. I know there is a plugin for VBulletin for it so there would be very little work for Oops to do.

    Some of the items I have seen on other sites:

    -Socks
    -Name Change
    -Birthday Card From an Admin
    -Change your name colour
    -Change another User's Name
    -1 Prevent Temp Ban
    -12 Hour Temp Ban*
    -24 Hour Temp Ban*
    -Buy the website ($1000000000000000000)

    All funds are in USD.

    *Requires Admin approval, doesn't work on Forum Leaders

    Anyway this is just a few examples of things you can find on the store plugin.

    Its only a suggestion of a shop I saw on another site. This was just a suggestion of the kind of things that could be added. I mean it would help DR. Plus depending on if you allow people to add their own items to the store, you essentially bring back the forum auction house, with less work as its all automated so no more DR handling payments, he just gets the % for buying items off the site.

    This. Smartphones suck Period. Games on Smartphones suck even more, Double Period.

    what if it could be done with siri, or w/e, by speaking?
    Not all phones have siri (which is one of the most over hyped "features" for phones, it sucks btw) and even if they didn't most people don't pay for long distance. >.>

    -The bans would need exceptions for FM play
    -Temp ban prevention would have to be limited in some way
    -I'd be cool with selling name colors (As long as they could not resemble official colors)
    -Birthday Cards would be cool
    -I don't think we have the userbase to sustain an actual merchandise store
    -Name changes would be cool, once again they could not resemble other user's names though. (None of that l and I bullshit)
    -Changing other people's names seems sketchy.

    Forum Benefits
    Auction House


    Example of items in each Category:

    **Requires Advance notice, you don't get to pick the staff, time dependent.
    ***Requires Advance notice, staff picks game, time dependent.



    Make the game for the Windows Store?
    No, no one wants it. Its a waste and the games on phones suck. If you pay for games on a phone your a fool and the ads make the games annoying. Besides, you can play epicmafia.com on mobile for free, go play that.

    Hence why name change for another user is in there. Any staff member can already modify the User Titles and Signatures and you as the account holder can change them back for free in settings if they get changed. I understand where your coming from but its not a permanent thing like a name change where you'd have top buy it to change it back, and why forum rules apply to it.

    Only admins can change a user's settings and stuff. It's a specific permission in the ACP.

    ^. Raptor at any time could change it. For example: he could change mine from Timelord to Bank File Retard.

    With bunny. Banning other people or changing their info in anyway is a definite no-no. I will leave the site if anything like that ever happens, especially in a monetized way.
    This is all a suggestion of stuff you could include if you put a store on.

    99 percent of the posts i make on the entire forum come from my phone. Its easy comfortable and convenient. Not eveyone in the world are computer gamers. Some people like to play diverse games like me, i play on xbox, pc, smartphones and all of that stuffs.

    You can just make an very basic app and sell it for a dollar. Usually you get 10,000 downloads if it doesnt get that popular. More than 100,000 if it get that popular.

    Its easy 10,000.

    Its obvious most of the pc gamers dont play anywhere but pc. But not everyone is just pc gamer.
    I would buy mafia app for ten dollars

    Please stay on topic.

    Was just a suggestion that won't make it in anyway. Allowing yourself a name change is fine but changing others names is not, I wasn't very clear about that I thought you were arguing about changing sigs. Oops said no to temp bans but everything else he is still considering, so everything you have come forward about is not making it in if Oops does implement it.

    This whole store idea and the items dont seem attractive. But whateva. If HC wants it why not.
    The store, like everything else on the site (wiki, forums, chatbox, donate, etc) is optional you don't to buy anything or even use it.

    but rap already made the final ruling on this and it was no. why do we comtiune?
    As far as I know no ruling was made, and its Oops' decision not Raptor's. As Oops controls all things regarding the technical aspect site.

    Have you read the entire discussion topic? Or are you just trying to state your opinion because you should at least read the topic before posting something that may already be posted because oops said he will think about it.

    im still on topic its just another thing that could implemented. your just annoyed that he thought of it.

    as per opps. you notice that many ppl are kinda aginst it for some reasons. imgain someone wanting to change their name every day. if they change it does it go for EVERY post they ever made? or is it just futre if its just next posts then its gonna create mass confusion. really POD has a good idea and is something that could be used. imagin an app that has the store in it as well. so it is relevent to the topic at hand. you should just quit tring to say everything is off topic

    I already said no to the idea of banning people for money. I'll put up paying for stuff like coloured names and changing your name to a vote.

    I fully understand and agree. Those were suggestions people have clearly stated no banning or changing others names as it can be abused. I fully understand I literally took most of them from another site including those and I know its a good idea because that site has only 45 people on it max and they make almost $20,000 a year on forum transaction. I only did this because: 1) Adds a little something to the community and gets the community an identity and 2) DR is hurting for cash so why not help him out?

    im still on topic its just another thing that could implemented.
    Trust me there have been other times people have suggested it. DR said its not worth it because of all the other stuff thats out there for free. e.g. epicmafia and he does not have the time to do anything if he wanted to. Like epicmafia is free and works on a phone.

    your just annoyed that he thought of it.
    No i'm not annoyed that he thought of it. I'm annoyed that I have to reply to you about this when you have not read the entire topic. I am repeating myself when I reply to you if you checked.

    well you never even have to respond in the first place. you could always just ignore it you know. just becasue you are the OP or the one suggested it doesnt mean you have to comment on every single thing
