The Bell System

[Mino]

I think its time we retired this.

-It's more work than necessary to make the transactions.
-It's all fake money, and we have so much of it that things in the "TBT Forum Store" are done purely for other people (a overly goody-goody way of putting it).
-Money is inherently greedy, and people selling things for Bells aren't doing it for money.
-Add a request section to the Able Sister's and all non-graphic requests can go in Off-Topic.

If you vote, please say why you voted the way you did.

Yeah, get rid of it... Bells = useless/worthless.

 

[Gabby]

I think we should get rid of it.

 

[Mino]

Half of those who voted didn't say why. :gyroidcry:

 

[Nate]

I say get rid of it for now, we've gotten bored of it.

 

[Jman]

I really don't see a point in the bell system, other than a " reward system."

 

[Tyler]

The reason it's being kept is so when we do get an organized store. (Which = Zetaboards) we will have an amount of currency to use. Plus it is used to buy boards for the Red Rock.

Other than that I really don't care.

 

[Mino]

I'm pretty sure the currency system Zetaboards will have (if it ever is released) won't be based on the same code as the one we use now.

I'm not all the active here to know what the Bells were actually for, so my vote doesn't count. >_<

It's the currency system you see under your name in your posts. You stat with 800 and get 2 for every post. In the "TBT Forum Store" forum, you can request or sell virtual things, then make a request for a transaction. Only an Admin can exchange bells, and people are really doing it for free.

 

[Akkad]

Oh, I see. Virtual currency for vitrual items. That doesn't sound all bad. Why get rid of that?

Read the first post.

I may have been getting a little philosophical there. But in reality its just more work for the Admins and its a rather clumsy system. People are doing things for free, so why not just make a board called requests? We have so much money anyways.

And as for Red Rock, I'm sure Storm would let you do it for free, provided you are an active member and have a valid idea.

 

[Furry Sparks]

I say get rid of it, hardly anyone ever uses it.

 

[ƒish]

I haven't used them since they were first instituted... But I really don't care either way, It won't effect me if they're gone, and it won't effect me if they're here.

Then again, the admins could be doing more productive things than throwing money around... so I'd go for that too.

 

[Bulerias]

Hmm... it is definitely too much work, and I don't really see the point in the system, anyway...

 

[Mino]

Hooray democracy.

 

[TwilightKing]

I'd say we don't really need them so I'll go with majority

Yeah. :yes:
