----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat May 21, 2005 4:23 pm Bits! ----------------------------------- Anyone got 136 bits that they can spare so that I can add a pretty golden glow to my username? :) ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat May 21, 2005 4:36 pm ----------------------------------- psst... contribute something cool... its a quick way to make some bits.. :wink: ----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat May 21, 2005 4:45 pm ----------------------------------- 'Ey man, I've been contributing. :( I could spam 68 posts. :think: ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sat May 21, 2005 4:50 pm ----------------------------------- There you go Notoroge ;) I didn't really have much to do with my bits anyhow! enjoy :) ----------------------------------- rizzix Sat May 21, 2005 4:52 pm ----------------------------------- There you go Notoroge ;) I didn't really have much to do with my bits anyhow! enjoy :) that is what i'm afraid of.. i hope v3 actually makes these bits worth something.. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sat May 21, 2005 4:53 pm ----------------------------------- There you go Notoroge ;) I didn't really have much to do with my bits anyhow! enjoy :) that is what i'm afraid of.. i hope v3 actually makes these bits worth some value.. Indeed. Some ideas would be being able to buy larger avatar/signiature space. The ability to change to custom titles (for bits :)). Possibilities are really endless. ----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat May 21, 2005 4:53 pm ----------------------------------- There you go Notoroge ;) I didn't really have much to do with my bits anyhow! enjoy :):heart: ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat May 21, 2005 4:55 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, but you'd lose all of them and more as soon as a mod finds the pile of spam. Want to write a Turing tutorial on Windows (not the OS, the module), Dir/Sys module, enumerated types, or pointers? If it's good, you'll get plenty of bits. :) EDIT: Oh my, four posts while I was typing that? ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sat May 21, 2005 9:32 pm ----------------------------------- Why would anyone want there to be bigger avatars/sigs - for longer loading time? To mess up the tables? Why? eh? How about something useful like hmm larger upload space? *dreams on*... Maybe someone should start a topic about potential uses for bits? Maybe this one? :D. ----------------------------------- md Sat May 21, 2005 10:00 pm ----------------------------------- Bit's for more upload space and a custom title would be cool, dunno how useful it'd all be anyways though. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Sun May 22, 2005 1:26 am ----------------------------------- "]Why would anyone want there to be bigger avatars/sigs - for longer loading time? To mess up the tables? Why? eh? Well, lots of people would like to have larger avies/sigs, me included. For example, I don't have enough characters to have both an image banner and the IRC channel plug in my siggie, so I opt for the channel plug instead. If I could conserve my bits to get both, I would! The idea behind CHARGING for it is that not *everybody* will be able to afford it, therefore the overall effect on loading time won't be significant, especially considering that by the time v3 is out and these features are implemented, we'll all be doing 3GB/second :lol: ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun May 22, 2005 3:22 pm ----------------------------------- lol, oh ya, I forgot about the character limit, haven't changed my sig in a while... we'll all be doing 3gb a second, but we will all also have thousands of bits :wink: So, any other suggestions on uses of bits? Maybe more priveleges (sp? heh), like less time limit between posts, or the ability to make stickies (lots of bits for that). ----------------------------------- Mazer Sun May 22, 2005 3:52 pm ----------------------------------- "]So, any other suggestions on uses of bits? Maybe more priveleges (sp? heh), like less time limit between posts, or the ability to make stickies (lots of bits for that). But would you really consider those to be good ideas? Do you think people should be able to post faster than, what, 5 seconds per post? Posts that can be typed up that quickly usually aren't worth reading. As for stickies... well, you know. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sun May 22, 2005 4:25 pm ----------------------------------- Well, I dont know, it seems to be a bit higher than that. The only time I have a problem with it is when I am editing a stupid mistake in my post, but it doesn't let me. As for stickies... ya, I know :D ----------------------------------- octopi Tue May 24, 2005 3:09 pm ----------------------------------- why not just make an image, and the below that add some text in with photoshop that has all your IRC stuff. So its just one image? ----------------------------------- shorthair Tue May 24, 2005 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- Dan You could always turn on the One Sig Per Page Hack in PHPBB. I use that on my forum so that people can have decent sized sigs and it doesnt bog down loading and such
