I suggested this idea like 5-6 yrs ago, and have suggested it at least twice since then. So for a 4th/5th and hopefully last time

A virtual currency or the ability to purchase Emcee items would be dope. And seeing as how the forums are dead, it'd be VERY wise to implement a virtual currency where people earn $$ based on starting threads, replying to threads, voting on polls, etc etc. That currency could also be the credits system LB is already utilizing. But considering mods can change credit values on accounts and some people are sitting on 10,000 credits, I believe an entirely separate virtual currency thing would work better.

So for example;

Starting a thread - 2 vc
Replying to a thread - 3 vc
Voting on a poll - 1 vc

vc being virtual currency, since it doesnt have a name

And maybe give bonus vc for milestones; ie

Replied to 3 threads in a day - +5 extra vc
Started 5 threads in the month - +10 extra vc
50 posts in a month - +20 vc

The vc is used to buy cosmetic shit like emcee items, or a forum 'Shop' where you can buy customizations for your account... ie; bigger pictures for avi, glowing username, more inbox room, and maybe even LB credits

Now given that people are getting 1-3 vc per task (excluding bonuses), emcee items shouldn't be 20vc, but they shouldn't be 2,000vc either. So maybe 200vc for a common item, 500vc for a rare item, 500vc for glowing username, 100vc for 10 credits, etc

I've seen this system work successfully on at least 10 other forums. So it's not a matter of "is this possible" cuz it is, or "will this work" because it does.
