I mean, why would ppl on here trade for fg and not just trade for what they want? Or just trade for currency[sojs, runes etc.]?
TBH im surprised that fg works on jsp as well as it does. [stable prices, nearly everyone accepts it in trades etc.]
Its a small community that restricts what we are allowed to trade anyway so it makes even less reason why ppl would want fg. Would you trade for fg?
No, i think even if we did have fg, it would cause more problems than it would solve [what would it do.solve anyway?]. |
i agree with moose,cos i think i have nn for fg but for a example 14maxer for lvl 9? sure i think i will never have need for forum gold cos good lld stuff are so hard to get,also i still dont know 100% how fg works but still

Yes but lld101 fg is only any use on THIS site. And thats not very big. If they find somthing godly and arnt ISO of anything inparticular then they could just trade for tradables like runes/sojs/20 lifers [not 322's].
But for forums where maybe only 20 ppl use a certain trade area eg. US ladder etc. it wont be much use.
Diablo has its own nautral currency, why make an artifical 2nd currency that is of limited use and worth?

community is too small to take good advantage of fg.
dtrades/jsp = thousands of users daily.
lld101 = a lot smaller

you cna get fg for phpbb and even free phpbb forums ahve fg mod built in, it wouldnt really make spam because you can change the amount of posts people are allowed to do, like say after 30 posts they cant gain anymore.

FG was shot down mainly because people believe the No on the poll was a landslide win, but not really, since they only one by a few people.
I suggest new FG poll, with just Yes and No, and majority wins, no 2/3s.

it was shot down because it wasnt a 2/3 vote, not whether or not it was a landslide.

"no" already won, whats the point of making a new poll? no point in changing the system if the majority doesnt even want it.

Because No won by a small percent, and the two options should have been No and Yes, not No and Yes and I don't care. If they don't care, which most people who voted that option read the opinions from what people posted and then decided whether they wanted it or not.

The Forum Gold mod we installed conflicted with other mods we currently use.
Unless there is a well-thought out plan of action to take with forum gold (i.e. a name, uses, demand, etc...) there won't be any forum gold anytime soon. And even then, who knows?
We originally tried it out without much planning on what it would be like, how it would be used, and the details of it all. I think if eager members put out the effort to think up a foolproof way of implementing forum gold and making people want it and be interested in it, you would have a better shot.
But just requesting another poll to happen and hoping for the best isn't going to have any better results, because there wouldn't be anything different about it, because there is no work going on behind the scenes so-to-speak for it, because most of the mods/admins are not interested in it, especially if it conflicts with other parts of the forum.
Bottom Line: If you want forum gold so bad, don't rely on the mods/admins of the site to do the work for you on this issue. A simple poll and majority vote won't help one bit. Do some research, get some ideas, discuss it, and find a way to make it work successfully. Then we'll talk.

Ok, I agree with Knarl. Thinking back it looks like it would be a bad idea just to implement with no real thought at all. I'll try thinking of a way to implement, then get back to you.

Just a side note, I figured out how to give someone negative forum gold with the last fg system we were using.

It wasn't that hard with the proper permissions, which you had, I believe.
Despite the fact that the majority of people voted 'no', the main reason why FG was not implemented was due to the fact that it conflicted with the categories mod that is installed on this board. While regular users do not see all that it does, trust me when I say that it is much more valuable than any currency system.
