Points

The evil Dr. Eggman has created a sinister new machine to harvest points throughout Sonic HQ. He is using them to buy up useful items and resources before citizens can buy them and reselling them at a higher price. Those who cannot afford resources are then forced to be servants or worse! Earn points throughout the forum by being active and posting to increase your overall score and help us fight Dr. Eggman and reclaim Sonic HQ!! Below are some options you may use points for. Click here to access your points!

1. Knotthole Market - You may now use points to buy items under the new fully integrated shop! Items can be bought, sold, or gifted to other users. 
   
2. Mobius Lottery - There is a new Lottery system for those feeling lucky. 50 points to buy a ticket and your 50 goes into the lottery pool.
   
3. Sticky Threads - This allows users to stick their own thread for three days by paying 200 points.
   
4. Buy New Username - This allows you to change your username for 20 points.
   
5. Activity Rewards - You can claim bonus points after making a certain amount of posts/threads a day.
   
6. Coupons - Members can redeem coupons to collect promotion points and even upgrade their account to a different usergroup
   
7. Hide Content - This allows you to use tags to hide content in a post requiring a member to reply to your topic to see it or setting a price they pay you to reveal the hidden content. Just doing the hide tags will make it hidden until a member replies, otherwise adding a price will require payment.
   

Code:

[hide] Content [/hide][hide cost="50"] Content [/hide] [hide cost="50" title="Really secret stuff"] Content [/hide]

@Atia Since you asked about it, here are the ranks for the forum!

[RedFox99]

Neato. It’s a bit better paced than on the old forum.

[ProtoBusterSword]

I agree with Redfox, neato.

Not sure if I understand the point of hiding content like that when we already have spoiler tags people can use.

@HollyYoshi yeah I wasn't sure if there were any reasons to use it either but I figured people can figure out if they want to use it. It might be good for art/RP topics? But if not, no one has to use it. lol

[NeoMetallix]

Well Mods/Administrators are exempt from that, naturally. So abuse shouldn't be a problem.

[Dr. Eggman]

I am here to take your precious items and resources to build my ultimate army to finally defeat that Hedgehog! Anyone who aids me will receive kindness but those who oppose me will suffer!

NOW! Donations!

This is pretty cool, I was curious of all the different ranks I've been seeing.

I love the Idea of the User Ranks & Achievements system. It reminds me the one like the PlayStation one for trophies etc. It's pretty awesome Indeed
