Gem system.
I don't know why it was ever removed, but the gem system in here was fantastic back in the day. I used to post a lot back then and I remember getting paid gems for screen grabbing from the Spyro Games for someone who wanted screenshots. Good times.... Unique feature for a suitable forum to incorporate it too. Why was it removed?

Re: Gem system.
The only reason that I can find is that they sort of died off, so they were left behind when this forum migrated to FluxBB 4 years ago.

Re: Gem system.
No one really used it anymore, so I didn't think we needed to migrate it over. It did used to be kind of fun when people had their own shops and stuff.

Re: Gem system.
If the forum allows you to add custom PHP that's great. But yeah I agree not all that worthwhile if no one uses it. Maybe there's a way to make it more active, and even use it to boost activity on the forum? What did people sell in their shops?
idk Maybe it wouldn't do any good. Just think'n.

Re: Gem system.
It used to be like an avatar, banner, and art commission thing if I remember correctly. Was kind of cool when the forum was active, but declined along with everything else.
I think you also lost gems when you posted in SPAM too which was funny

Re: Gem system.
Gems are back! Right now it's a very simple system that gives or takes gems based on which forum you're posting in. I might make it so that if you're in the negatives, you can't post in SPAM anymore >:D (Hint: the forum for the remaster currently gives 20 gems per topic and 10 per post.) There's a donating system as well at /donate.php, but it needs some work as well.

Re: Gem system.
Are you going to be reopening Moneybags' Shop?
Also, I think that there should be an option to sort users by gems.

Re: Gem system.
I guess I could reopen the shop. I don't want to have too many dead forums taking up space, though - it makes the site look more dead than it already does. So you guys better actually use it.

Re: Gem system.
Where are they Stormy? I can't see my gems. Is it a bug that I cannot see a floating gem or is it meant to be that way ?

Re: Gem system.
Gem count displays in your profile and on each of your posts. I have not added the gem icon yet.
