Hey, guys and gals,

I've been a guest on this site for almost a year, and decided to create an account and join.  I'm a self-diagnosed newbie, and I'm not sure how the VG $ work or what they're for, etc.  Any other suggestions to maximize enjoyment of the site?  I want to get acquainted as quickly as possible!  Sorry if a repeat thread!  Thanks!

VG$ doesnt really do anything. have a blast contributing to the forums and discussions. I hope to see you around!

Ask to a Data Base admin. They hold all the money!!

Don't trust people with Kim Possible avatars.

You can use your VG$ to buy the VG IM or you can use it in the Prediction League.

Welcome to VG Chartz!

well, you can use VG$ in the prediction league or for FAQs (punch-out!! has a lot, and it's cool because I get to see when people buy my hints )

Other than that, it is a way to see who contributes to the website. People with lots of VG$ probably work in the database, and probably know a lot about a lot of games. You could probably ask me about any DS game and I've probably heard of it to some extent (should I be proud of that??)

As for fun things to do, mostly read news/threads, work in the game database, or play in the prediction league. Since you've been lurking for so long I'm assuming you know where most of the charting tools are located so there probably isn't too much to discover.
