New Forum Features
This is an incomplete list of all the work done on the forums. It's incomplete, because I'm not done tweaking, and I still plan to add other stuff!
Thanks hack
The good ol' thanks hack. The thankee will get +5 rep and the thanker will get +1 posts added to their post count. Use it, or Milady will hurt you. The hack is disabled in social forums (The hangout, free for all, retro, etc.) and is only allowed in the first post in the upload sections (How we had it set up last time). I plan on moving the button at a later date. But for the time being, it is located here:

Spam-O-Matic 2.0
New anti-spam mod that will prevent known spam bots from registering and auto-moderate posts from new members if they're suspected of being spam posts. You will be exempt from this check once your post count reaches 2.

vBplaza and vBux
Support for the mod was dropped loooong ago, and the version we were running back on 3.6 was hacked up as is. There is a paid version, though I'm not even sure where to get it, it's on vbplaza's main site.... somwhere. I'm also not sure we want to do business with this guy.

So we replaced it with:
Point Market System
The market is now live. You can enter the market at the navbar at the top of the forums. Prices a high and you have buy access into each section of the market just to see the goods! Everything but usernames expire after 90 days as well (Though I have to run a script, and I'm not sure if I'm going to have stuff expire. I might just jack the prices up further). I plan on adding unlimited rep to the market, once I figure out how
################################################
New Credits System
Everything is tied around a new credits system. It will give credits as follows:
5 points for posting outside the hangout.
10 points for making a thread
50 points for making an upload in the upload services and gaming music sections.
100 points for making a referral
1 point for voting in a thread with a poll.
100 points for your birthday!
5 points for becoming friends (both people)
Triple triad will use the new credits as well. All costs and rewards are the same.
Infractions will deduct points. A lot of them. 1000 points for every infraction point to be exact. So don't act up! (Remember, you may be given a spamming infraction that will deduct 10,000 points from your balance, so spamming to increase your balance is not wise!)
You may return an item with 24 hours of purchase for a full refund.
Theft has a 5% chance of succeeding.
Bank rates are at their defaults, I may tweak them later.
There is a 30 second wait between purchases. I can not change this.
################################################
New Rep System
The new rep system should add a dark green pip for every 200 rep points, a light green for every 1000 points, and gold for every 10,000 points. There are 4 dark green pips, 9 light green pips, and 10 gold pips, so that there's no overlap from moving from one color to another.
If you find a bug, and you will, please post it here along with following info:
What you were trying to do when you encounted the bug (Example: I was trying to buy viagra from the market and I received a database error message).
What browser you were using, and possibly your OS/version.
A brief description of the problem (Example: Images were missing, links were broken) and any error message you received, especially if it was a database error.
