Could we have a competition to come up with a better name for the credits? Maybe the winner could get 50 bonus whatevers ;) Probably something reef related would be good.

 

[jashay]

that could be cool Magic :D

how bout clams instead?? ;)

 

[MagicJ]

I just thought 'credits' was a bit dry ;)

 

[jashay]

lol totally agree haha

 

[DavidS]

still think we should call them karma - bugger what other forums do with "karma", but the name is sorta fitting.

How about e-fuge?

reef-funds?

I feel that we need an 'Economic Stimulus Package' of some sort as our 'economy' is in the doldrums - where's Rudd when you need him ;).

I would think that the forum would be happy if an average user made 10 posts a week and maybe started 1 new thread a month - this would equate to around 550 points in a year. If we work on a cheap item worth, say, $10 then this equates to 350 points based on the current rules - it would take the average member 8 months to accumulate these points.

This means that no 'exchanges' will take place for many months and the enthusiasm over the introduction of the Reefuge Bank may fall away quickly.

Just thinking out loud:

• reduce the exchange rate t0 20 credits equates to around $1
• offer some bonus for length of membership subject to a minimum number of posts e.g. 10 credits for every month of membership subject to a minimum of 10 posts for the month (not sure if our systems will allow this to be done)
• remind members to transfer a credit or two if they read an informative post

I have some items that I am willing to donate but there is not much point when no-one will have enough credits for some months yet. I have actually arranged a trade on the basis that we will work out the transfer of credits in the future - I have a banking background so maybe I could set-up a loan facility :D

Also, where/how do we list out items for trade?

What about reefer as a name :D

 

[MagicJ]

Bumped to the top as I would like members opinions ;)

 

[jashay]

I recon your onto something here Shane, this would definately allow for trading to start a lot quicker and keep an interest in the idea !

Who wants my credits?

 

[The Reefuge]

I agree. I will update the credit value.

 

[jashay]

so are we going to have a stimulus package to get things moving a bit? with the credit value reset to 20 cred = $1 AUD is a good start but still it is going to take a fair bit for people to be able to use it to start trading with them.

maybe as Shane has said a stimulus is what is needed? say a 500 credit stimulus is fair? this way it will allow some trading to start and will encourage the use of the system?

Hi Jashay,

At this point in time I have no intentions of giving away a bunch of credit to forum members. It is getting close to a usable stage, and I am sure I will slowly hand out points here and there. I do not want to rush into it.

Thanks.

Just an idea to stimulate good threads...how about giving people a bonus if say they get over 100 or 200 views within two weeks....might bring some interesting topics up

 

[The Reefuge]

Sounds like a good idea :)

Thanks for the suggestion rosechaser

 

[jashay]

[Reefin]

[The Reefuge]

Some users are nearly at the stage where they can. A few more competitions and this ball will be rolling.
