Title: Forum of the future?
Post by: Colonol Dekker on June 23, 2006, 04:35:40 am: http://forums.adventchildren.net (http://forums.adventchildren.net)

I just found it whilest trying to get an FF Victory Jingle for my Motorola,
It seems pretty cool, (content aside) the fact you can earn gil/points and unlock stuff like custom font glows, Its quite novel and seems to add a bit of fun to the whole process, you can buy crap for your sig, new avatars etc.

Any thoughs moderator types? :D

Which just screams "spam frenzy" to me.

Post by: Turnsky on June 23, 2006, 05:32:07 am: a forum game on that order would need to be fairly heavily moderated to keep it from turning to a total spamfest.
some people have hardly the time to do that.
