Store back in action

Python

The store and rewards system is back up working and so are the adsense impressions.

Unfortunately the Vbulletin cash hack doesnt have an updater meaning that all previous points have been lost. If you would like a little compensation let me know and Ill sort something out

Thanks

YAY STORE IS BACK!.... Aww I lost my points. I'll have to start amassing them again

CannonBallGuy

All forum points, or adsens impression points?
If its forum rewards store points, then I want compensation!

Python

sorry CBG but forum points and adsense points are gone...although no one had any adsense points left I dont think.

instead of giving you a load of points back Ive thought of a fairer and simpler way.

For the next couple of days for every new thread you will get 8 points, and for every reply you will get 4 points. This is just so you can earn the points back really quickly

angrylizard

Yeah I was all excited to see it come back because I have racked up more posts lately and thought those would count but oh well. I will continue my journey to wealth

CannonBallGuy

Next time you update or whatever, make a note of everyone's points. :P
lol.

Python

hehe, will do CBG

angrylizard

Oh rock on! I am now 2nd richest member aside from Python! Sweet! This won't last long though

Python

lmao, enjoy it while you can

CannonBallGuy

Yeah. I'm like sooooooo gonna catch up with you, dude!
lol. hehe

Python

hehe. I just thought of a possible competition

First person to have more points than the admin will receive double the total amount


Note: this competition isnt actually active so dont bother trying to beat me...it was only an idea

CannonBallGuy

hehe.nice one.

Just a quick point.

If you are trying to build value in the store points, you have to keep the records.

I have been adding points up quite nicely and was saving of adsense impressions...

Now, those points are no longer there...

I don't really mind (I prefer real money), but if you want to use the points as a incentive, you must make sure that they are updated whenever something else like this happens

angrylizard

Man I was gone for 5 hours almost and I'm still in the lead.

If that competetion was real, this forum would have 2x the posts by the end of the week.

All my points are gone too. I believe this is the 2nd time it's occured? Doesn't look good on the points system if it's unstable like this.

It's not real money but it makes you feel good having forum $

Is there a thing that shows how exactly the point system works? Is it just based off of posts/word usage in a post? Or is it a much more in-depth mathmatical formula (bonus points between 1 AM - 3 AM )

daboss

In the Internet world, you would expect members to be in the forum around the clock - since we're from all over the world

So 1 - 3 AM to you may be 1 - 3 PM to me.

tony

how can this be :O i had loads
you made my bank empty....aaah your like so many of my ex's lol

Python

basically heres why all points were lost:

During the database restoration when the forum moved location and hosting account there were some pretty weird error with vbulletin which i simply couldnt figure out. Then when I contacted vbulletin.com support they told me to get the database back as it was with no hacks/mods installed so it had to be removed...therefore all was lost.

SEbasic

Avatars Don't work either...

daboss

P, forget it. I'm sure none of us are too bothered - it's not real money anyway.

However, I would like to say that in the world of customer service, giving good reasons are sometimes not good enough. The end result is the same - the points are gone and most customers won't give you a second chance. My head would have rolled if I made such a mistake at work.
