Doesn't alpha come before beta? :P

One thing, Now if someone is charging bananabucks for something there is no way to tell on the main classifieds page. It just looks like someone is charging a crazy amount. Would there be some way to differentiate the two? Well I know there would be a way but think something like that would work?

Beta is actually the first release of software.
I should have said we'll consider it GOLD when it's refined, I fixed the post.
To add to what I mentioned a couple posts up, if the seller is only accepting BananaBucks, it must be very clear in the listing.
I will be adding provisions and modifying the script so it's easy to tell the difference from that page and the other pages and bits where the listing appears.

Maybe you can put in a check box for B$ or real cash (or both), as someone lists their auction, that'll flag a B$ icon in the listings for auctions that accept them.

Does lurking get you anything? Sometimes I just don't have the time to reply to posts.

btw: can I have a banana smilie sitting in front of a TV eating popcorn, please? I'd use it to tune into people's projects when I don't have the time to post.

Thanks Bunches!

Being an active member and just logging in does earn, it builds up over time, its not a lot, but it does earn.
Quote tags and such type of input that gets parsed does not count towards post size total. The post size credit is very small so it's not abused anyway. Steelviper (Mark) posts a lot with just smileys, other times words, has been for years. He's not milking B$

I will talk to one of my graphics designers about making such a smiley. Thanks for the idea!

STEELVIPER · 03-01-2008, 08:41 AM

The smiley's speak for themselves. I will be glad to donate any bananas bucks to anyone who Needs them. I'm not here for bananas bucks. No pun intended Jarred the bucks is a good idea.

STEELVIPER · 03-01-2008, 09:47 AM

LOL Key word is NEED.

Tropicallvr · 03-01-2008, 10:02 AM

Want to put the banana bucks in my savings, but still waiting, keeping them in my checking to see what they actually can do. Maybe each person could build a cyber garden with the bucks. Or maybe 500 banana bucks could get you a raffle ticket, for a donated plant.

xavierdlc61887 · 03-01-2008, 10:07 AM

i need them :P to put into savings

On the contrary, I think he should get some kinda credit for the positive input. I like to do it too, just to put in my input without actually having to form a sentence. I brew my own beer and consume quite a bit sometimes, and have had to suppress my self expression during those times, for everyone's sake, so I post a smiley or two. It adds to the thread, without actually saying anything...
