    Charge for activities, and have a "tax". Like 2.5% for every week or something.

    I have a idea,

    Add more services to the shop were staff or people who just want to help the community can volenteer to do work if the item is bought.

    For example:
    Profetional Render cut (Simple) - 40 credits
    Profetional Render cut (medium difficulty) - 80 credits
    Profetional Render cut (difficult) - 160 credits

    i would be glad to do this but as long as there is limited stock so i'm not overworked :lol:

    Maybe even tutorial writing items and such.

    Another idea..

    Put together massive render or .psd/recorces packs and put them in the download section of the shop as a item.

    Just throwing ideas out here ;)

    Both of those would require custom PHP scripts coded for integration with an IPB board using the modifications of the IBStore (not extremely easy, not impossible), since the current store item to download something is currently bugged in the new store version (sadly).

    Your missing the point ami.

    Credits would be halved to increase the credit value, there would be half as many credits in circulation therefore they would be worth double as much :)

    ok first i hope people actually read this so this is not useless :P

    ok 50% off everyones creds would never/NEVER work, because someone had just 4000 creds on his account and sells them and has like 50 and loses 25, then the other person loses 2000. It will never be fair, hope you get that.

    I think the best way to get lost of the creds is

    - charge for shops/auction
    for shop 50 creds: this way its not to high to open a shop yet but its reasonable
    for auction 10 creds: this way we'll get LOTS OF CREDS of out off the system

    -charge for SOTW

    make like everyone pay 10 creds to enter dont upper the prices!!! then we will get like MANY CREDS out of the system.

    maybe i've come up with another idea dont know if its posted yet

    1.
    ok since there are like millions of posts a day the devaluation will continue so i was thinking maybe 5 posts = 1 cred something like that to stop more creds get in to the system
    2.
    LET EVERY MEMBER who wants this PAY 10 CREDS A MONTH to see the prem render section
    3.
    ok disable the creds increase in games,general,discussion

    the first two ideas are great

    and the third will only lessen the amount of ppl that enter

    i would say take 50, and make some nice shop system with people being able to have a maximum amount of items in there shop... and wehn sold they can put in an new item... maybe money for auctioning would be nice too... and more store items would be cool and would solve the problem...

    and i have a nice idea for a shop item: the possibility to open/close any of your own topics (unlimited), much peeps would like that and you could make that very expensive...

    edit:eek:w and how about people must pay to acces forms, maybe like 5 creds/a month per forum...

    edit2: and i was just thinking.. you shouldn't make all creds 50% cause its a lot easier to get 100 creds back again then it is with 200... that'd be unfair... there are alot of people who got all their creds just by posting...

    edit3: i just realised... taking 50% of all creds would be a problem if you would give 1 cred per 2 posts from now on....

    If you take away creds or reduce them people will join/post/visit here less. Creds are why people come in the first place basically.
