What to use newpoints for?

[Cyber]

So starting off new points has been a hassle so I completely removed it but I'm wondering what you use new points for? It's a general/technology forum by the way.

If you could post the link to your forum I could maybe look exactly what you can use them for? 🙂

Some sort of giveaways? Account upgrades?

What part of NewPoints has been a hassle for you? For me I know it wasn't too difficult to install or anything technically but adding in all of the rules and configuring settings was a lot. There's just so much plus I have other addons integrated with it. On my forum I use NP for a market system we run: http://forum.languavel.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=71 and different aestetic options like awards, increased sig space, username stickers, etc.

New points can be used to encourage activie participation and engagement on your forum. Also, you can have account upgrades that @Cierra stated.

I always see forums holding standard features hostage for forum cash (or real cash sometimes). If you pay the money then you can do thinks like have a signature or change your custom user title and things like that.

Meanwhile on other forums, you can do that type of stuff right off the bat with no compensation required.

I usually install it and try to figure out what I will do with it when the time is right. If it's useless right now keep it so when you do come up with some good ideas some of your actives can use it and let you know their thoughts.
