Blogpoints are back online!

[Vendetta]

Good news everyone, our new blogpoint system is online!

The entire system is available via the "vbPlaza Menu, located on all skins, except the default. (The forum is set to a skin that has the option automatically.

We have a vastly expanded store, and a whole new slew of features. I'll highlight them as follows for you.

In addition, moderators now earn a bps "paycheck" every week.

Item Store:

There is a vastly expanded item store, with new items being suggested and added daily.

There are many options and items to choose from, so feel free to browse. Also, PM me with any new ideas, as we can now create items at our liesure to add! Eventually, when our interactive avatar system is complete, you can also purchase apparell for your avatar!

The store is accessed like any other link via the vbPlaza Menu, or by clicking here:

Bank:

You are now allowed to deposit bps into your own private bank, which will allow you to gain interest on them if you're not using them. Interest is calculated at two day intervals, at a 4% rate for most people. This rate is adjusted as your status within the site increases. (IE, Premium members recieve a better interest rate).

The bank link is located here: http://blogring.net/forum/vbplaza.ph...tion&itemid=13

Lottery:

There are two lotteries, one daily lottery, and one weekly lottery. The daily lottery is worth 500bps to start with, and the weekly is 1,000.

You can purchase up to ten tickets per cycle, to increase the overall jackpot, and chances of winning!

The lottery is located at:

Gift Giving:

You can now purchase and give gifts to each other's accounts, to be stored in inventories, and displayed. Some are rare, and some are more common, but as they are bought, the items become more sought after! There are scores of items to collect, but they can only be attained through the generosity of your friends!

To give gifts, the link is located at:

Awareness Ribbons:

You can purchase ribbons in support of various charities and causes, to be displayed with your account. There are a number listed, and more will be added as they become available. Show your support for what you believe in!

Ribbons are located here:

Donations:

You can donate bps to other members at this link:

Thieving:

You can now attempt to steal any number of blogpoints from any member, to increase your wealth, and decrease theirs!

But be careful, if your thievery fails, they are notified and you lose whatever points you tried to steal from them! This can be a fun way to even the market, and pick on those uber rich members. :>

We hope you enjoy the new bps system. Expect many more fun and helpful features to come!

(Haha, get back to work in the Financial Square!)

//edit I fixed the store permissions, you may now all purchase items.

This is awesome news. I love the thieving. But psh, I'll probably only steal 1 bp at a time.

Whenever I click on any of the links up there, I get this message:

Your usergroup does not have permission to purchase vbPlaza Options.

I just discovered that glitch as well, and I'm working on it right now. Expect it fixed very soon.

[cellosweet x)]

At least I'm not the only one now. =] I'm glad it's just a glitch(in a way) and not just that I'm not special enough to use it. >.<

[Miss Criss]

This is so awesome! I'll go check everything out shortly.

[façade]

Theiving? LOL. I need to try that out. d:

Actually, vbplaza doesn't work for me. :x

[standing ovation]

Awesome :] now the FS will be more active ^^

Can you explain to us the amount of bps we get for posting? because I have no idea how they add up.

[NISHA LAMHEAD]

Yeah, I don't get it either.. haha.

// I think we're still getting 10 bps per post.

[EuphoricDysphoria]
