Earn SD$ by posting

Now you can earn SD$ by posting in the forums. This is going to become a form of currency on SourceDevelop for a number of things in the future. A shop where different items and services can be purchased with SD$ will be arriving shortly.

RE: Earn SD$ by posting

I am currently in the process of deciding what things to expect. But at the moment I am thinking of some of the following:

Have your website hand-Submitted to __ directories (fill in the blank with a number, also web directories are predetermined by us)
Posting packages (have a certain number of forum posts, and forum members on your forums)
Domain names (just what it says, a free .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz) - this will be a large number of SD$ and may not be available right away, i'll have to wait for the website to grow a little bit, but when it does become available, you will own the domain name yourself and be able to manage it yourself through a third party registrar (so you can renew it yourself, or purchase another domain name on sourcedevelop that can be used to instead add another year onto your domain name, more info about this will come later).

And any other ideas or suggestions of things that can be provided are welcome.

-Let users buy ad impressions on the forums
-Custom titles (love those)
-Gambling
-Games
-Changing someone else's title (love those even more--but make it expensive)
-Buying reputation points (horrible, horrible idea Wink )
-Donating $, pooling $, maybe having a weekly lottery?

Several of those are great ideas....i'll look into those, they shouldn't be too hard to implement a lot of them.

What do you mean by games? or by gambling?

I'll look into adding the arcade. I am not sure about how to make it so that you can earn SD$ by playing games, and I'll have to figure out how to make that work. (Like if you get SD$ for every so many points in a game, or only if you get a new high score position, etc).

As for the gambling one, that one will probably have to hold off for a while, until after I got the basics of the shop and everything up and running.

RE: Earn SD$ by posting

I'd think that gambling would be easier than an arcade =)

Even an HTML-based slot machine would be cool. For lottery, one could just buy tickets, then at the end of the week, choose 1 ticket randomly and give that person the value of all of the tickets sold, combined. Then remove everyone's tickets and you're all set for the following week =)

Also--as for SD$, how are you counting? I see that i have 20SD$ for 20 posts so far--I like the simplicity of it. I'd recommend keeping it real simple. Say, 1SD for post, 5SD for thread... maybe 0.5SD for poll vote, small bonus once a poster's thread reaches so many replies? As nice as it is to get lots and lots of SD for big posts, or SD per reply to your thread, I think it only complicates things. Just my 2 cents anyway.

You generally get 1 SD$ per post that you make (no matter if it be a reply or a new topic).

"Generally"? What does that mean? I like that you keep it simple, although it wouldn't hurt to reward people more for starting topics *wink* *wink* Haha... just a suggestion. But it might be a good idea, especially in a new forum, where you need to "jump-start" it.

By the way, do you remember that thread on the myBB site where like the 5,000th poster would win money? Do you know what happened with that?
