    What do I think?

    I think this is stupid as the staff doesn't really care what the members think on this subject. Thanks to repeatead abuse of the system by members weve managed to pull in well over 1 million credits above the amount of posts (which includes posts in off-topic, offers, etc. which dont give credits). You guys are lucky to have the mods agree that credits should be turned on at 2,500,000 credits rather than the REAL credit amount that should be brought into the system not counting all the off-topic, offers & requests, etc. forums, which is substantially less than that.

    All members have to do is get it into their tiny little skulls that less credits in the system = credits are worth more per each 1. We are helping more people than hurting them, and now the noobs will be able to get all the PSDs, etc. etc. for alot cheaper, if people realized that 2,000,000 credits in circulation is 150:1 where 4,000,000 credits is 300:1, and stop trying to sell things at the 300:1 ratio, when 150:1 is clearly more accurate.

    Also, people who are claiming new people cant come up with the credits to buy tutorials for better learning blah blah, that problem has ALWAYS been around, the only thing were really encouraging with the credits on is for them to spam to get credits and become credit whores like so many other people on this forum. They can quie easily look at the tutorials in the free section or premium tut section and get a few decent signatures that sell for a couple hundred credits for FR, and then go buy tuts. I have seen MANY people do so, and many have become successful that way. Anyone who says other may as well just be calling most of the community stupid, pig-headed and lazy, as thats virtually what you think of them.

    Not all of us want to sell our personally created images for 'plastic' money. Plastic meaning, not real.

    What does it matter? If creds are turned on who cares?

    Creds will still be spent the same way, it'll just mean more for a certain object. Inflation. America has dealt with it several times, sometimes it was difficult, but we still pushed through. And why does it matter how many creds are in circulation? Does the site really receive anything from the cred system being off?

    All questions and my opinion, I don't need [-] reps or flame for this comment. Answer them if your gonna, if not then don't mind my post.

    Leave it off still, until it restores back to its original 200:1 value.
    People are dumb for selling it at a cheaper rate than 250:1, little do people know that if EVERYBODY only stuck to selling it at the 250:1 ratio, no less, that people would be forced to buy at that ratio. It's time all the people who own a majority of credits, get together, and control the market; it's the smartest thing to do, and from what I know, it's not going against any rules in here. Correct me if I am wrong. ;)

    Doesn't matter what we think, truth be told the staff doesn't much care what we want in these kind of situations.

    Credit value hasnt changed because we aren't anywhere near our goal of the amount of credits we are trying to remove from the system.
