Thanks for the thread everyone. I agree, it would be fun to have more things to use the BB$ for. We have the cafepress shop (it made I think 1 sale, ever..lol) and we have the virtual plaza where we can do fun things like enhance your profile or your threads on the site. I did say that I would like to allow them to be used for plants. Members can sell bananas for BB$, and I will as well (on behalf of the Society as a whole). Also, when I do offer banana plants for BB$, I want people to have enough banana bucks earned so that it does not seem so far out of reach if they want the plant. I'm just thinking out loud here, really...
The whole banana bucks system and the shop are pretty new concepts here, its sort of an experiment in progress, and these things take time to flesh out and design properly, work out the bugs and kinks, etc.
You will, though, very soon see new things get added, such as awareness ribbons for many popular causes of concern to society. I dearly appreciate the thread and I love to see when members suggest things for the Society and for the website, it gives me sign that there's life out there, and that things are on the right track.
So keep the ideas coming but lets not bite off much more than we can chew, I personally try to avoid that and if things seem like they are not moving fast enough, thats partly why. We experienced explosive growth this year and theres a lot of things happening to keep everything balanced. Like I said, I'm thinking out loud here, and I'm speaking to you guys as if we were all in a room together having a chat.
So keep the ideas coming, and know that I will always try and prioritize everything. I take notes of what needs to be handled and I try to address the most pressing things first.
