What the hell was bling?

I wanna know!!!Everyone's been talking about it ever since the 'Thanks' came in. I wasn't around then and I have to catch a train in one hour....

Please :angel:

every time you posted you got so many bling depending on the length of the post. also you were able to donate bling or use bling to gamble in the games section. it was really cool :)

Wow thanks, that seems pretty cool...

I'm sure Mark would of had a whole bunch of that stuff judging by all the legnthy copy and paste posts he makes....

Why did they take it away?

oh yea, definitely. the reason it's not there is because the board went from one style forum to another (phpbb to vbulletin I think) because of the server. that sounds really nerdy :P

i miss bling...it was phased out soon after i came here though. i tend to post really long things, so i think id have a decent amount of bling if it was still around now.

 

i kind of still dont fully get what "thanks" is though...:confused:

if you hit the thumbsup button below someone's post, it thanks them for the post

I wonder how long 'Thanks' will survive, we are basically thanking people for the most useless posts...

yeah, i understood how you thanked someone, but i dont really get the point...

i think itll die off rather quickly because its not something automatically given like bling was. the fact that we have to click something for it to show up makes it rather useless IMO.

:laugh3: I don't know that you could say it's useless having to click a button, but it definitely isn't as cool as the bling. I think the bad feature about thanking people is that it's basically other people rating how useful or whatever a person's post is.

Yeah, I'd feel like a real outcast if I'd been here for two years and no one had thanked me, this 'thanking' thing is sure gonna start some outbursts...

haha, ok "useless" wasnt the right word. i know i personally would forget to click the button all the time even if i was really thankful. and it is kind of strange to have other people rating the helpfulness of a post...

It was the coolest thing on earth!!!

So bling was like the Coldplaying Currancy....

I guess so...

yeahh

 

 

but there was also a limit in how many blings you can earn per post... the limit was 50 .. I'm not sure...

..and i believe i had the most bling! :smug:

^ of course, you're one of the spammers :P

 

:laugh3:

 

Spammerick??

I now wish we still had bling, it sounded awsome...

 

Bring back bling!!

Spammerick??

 

Oh dear, I only picked that up just then...

 

I need some sleep....:confused:

..and i believe i had the most bling! :smug:

 

Nah you didn't, it was that user who uploaded Ode to D, with everybody donating bling to her.

I prefer saying thanks in a post rather than hitting a button, as it's more personal :wink:

^ of course, you're one of the spammers :P

 

 

 

Thank you for that there,eggplant!!
