Do you offer a forum currency on your forum? What do you offer in return to make it valuable or is it just a stat?

[Mr.Panos]

No, I don't offer a forum currency on my forum because I think that it's not suitable for all the genres.

[Brad W]

Not at the moment in the past i have but not all the time.

[Eternal]

When I ran a forum I had a forum currency. I didn't offer much, I allowed members to purchase things like username changes, usertitle changes, etc. It was mainly for fun.

[MoneyBox]

I do not offer a forum currency no. This is mainly because I do not offer services on my forum as that is not the type of forum I want to run

[fords8]

Don't offer it yet. We may add it down the road if I add features that it can be used for.

[wasi90lk]

Currently my forum does not have a currency, although I may add it soon.

[TheRaven]

We currently don't have forum currency and won't be installing a mod that allows forum currency since it's a gaming forum. Not all genres need to have currency, I don't think it would make any sense to have one on my board.

[Garfiun]

I don't use it. I have nothing that I could use it for.

PromoBB uses tickets which can currently be used to buy forum services. However in the far future if we start earning a reasonable amount of profit I'd like to start rewarding users with real money which they'd get by trading in their tickets. However for now there is a wide array of services to purchase with tickets.

[TimeRider]

I had forum in past but I never had forum currency.

[jacktheking]

Me too, I feel that I have nothing to exchange back with my forum currency.

There are things you could offer and it doesn't necessarily need to be anything that would cost you money. You could offer things such as a coloured username, entry to a private forum area, a little advertising on your site, custom title, username changes, etc. I'm not saying that these are necessarily the best thing to do for your site, just that there are things you could do that would not cost you money and could be of interest to your members.

[jacktheking]

Hmm, thanks for suggesting. I am looking to add NewPoints to my site soon!:)

[CyberFreak]

You could also allow users to pay for advert removal if you have ads on your site, more PM space, some special features that you have to pay to access like arcades, galleries, downloads or the ability to have their own blog.

[shamzblueworld]

What can be offered on a general discussions forum?

[Travis_]

Some of these free things Fergal and Fowler suggested are very nice. You could offer one service that costs you money but in return it benefits you because of members posting to achieve that amount of Forum currency

[shamzblueworld]

I just set it up on my webmaster forum, but have not decided on the rewards yet.

[Raees]

I have it on my site and I provide domains ,posts, ads etc.

[Bananaman]

I have It on my site, We provide various services for it.
