[QUOTE="robdog, post: 306629, member: 1578"] Great question. I have been making progress on this, but I keep getting pulled in different direction for other projects before I can finish that one. However, I will give you some details. The main idea behind the credits is that people can contribute on the site and then contribute to something in real like. For example, you can exchange 500 credits to offset a pound of carbon emissions. This might be an off the wall example, but there are going to be a number of charitable organization that we are going to have involved in our credit system. Food for homeless, school supplies for needy kids are a few examples of other things we are going to be getting involved with. We are also looking for local charities within Green Bay that people can donate their credits to in exchange for whatever that program is in need of. So back to the carbon emission example, when we reach 1,000 pounds, we will donate the cost of that to carbonfund.org with the program they have setup. Here is another site that is doing this. We are trying to model this project off that site: [url=http://www.care2.com/rewards/redeem.html]Redeem Butterfly Credits[/url] Bigger project then I expected, but those credits are going to mean something! Might even bring back the casino, but that depends on the demand from the members. I would call it an affiliation, it is letting users know we(my company) has other sites in their network. Now if we ever acquired a Bears or Vikings site, you would not see that logo on the bottom. :) We just wanted to make this site/forum a little more welcoming. I know that no one likes to be censored, but it is a necessary evil when you are trying to grow and go mainstream. [/QUOTE]
