Because the mod team is wanting you to pay your way out of bans.

In that case.. how much does Rolstoppable owe?

How much money does Bill Gates have?

I have more than 4,000 VG$ in my profile.

VG$ existed before and were used first and foremost in a sales prediction league where people could place bets on their forecasted numbers. I never participated, but VG$ could also be earned via forum activity. Looks like the feature was merely put on hold when it was disabled some years ago and now it has been reinstated from the depths of the website's code, so the virtual money of old users is still all there. Newer users start at 1,000 which is the same amount that everyone back then started with.

Back then bans did cost VG$ for real. Not to pay your way out, but as additional punishment to jail time.

perma ban was -49.999,99

Makes one wonder: How many millions of VG$ do you owe this website?

0,1 million

I think VGCharts is working on their own cryptocurrency, ChartzCoin (VGC).

dont tease me like this

He's definitely not teasing you.

Now that the GameDB is back, I'm going to do some general housekeeping around here (both with the DB and the overall website) and knock out some bugs and enhancement requests for the next few weeks. After which, I plan to turn my attention to the next big project: Resurrection of the Prediction League!!

Maybe up and running by early March? Depends on how involved some of the general enhancements I want to work on, really are - and of course, it depends on how much work/testing is required to get the PL back up and running...   

 

...Kirby007 for Prediction League Admin? ;)

I actually ran an illegal version of the PL for certain period with a fake vg$ and it actually was pretty fun, i need to see if i have my old sheets from that somewhere

"Illegal version"?? What were you up to?!?!? LOL!!!!

....and well, I was only half-joking with the Prediction League Admin. You're one of the few "old timers" around here, that actually remembers the league and whoever the admin eventually is, really ought to have some experience right from the start!  :)

well illegal might be a big word I simply used the Vg$ without trademark  :p
and i just copied the concept of all consoles/handhelds and a few different games each week
on top of that noone was around who had the orginal sheets so I had to start from scratch with the payoutcalculation
if i could only remember which year that was it would be easy to trace back

Will the use of counterfeit VG$ be a bannable offense soon? XD
