Guides/Contributing (+Forum Cash)

Contributing with guides, major help, and anything that helps the community can also make you pretty rich in forum cash :yup:. This is one of the hardest yet best ways to gain forum cash because you show that your guide was not worth just 1 forum cash if it was good . This shows that you care about the community, and moderators will give you forum cash as necessary. This is one of the best things a new member can do to help the forum.

Losing Forum Cash (-Forum Cash)

When you spam, break rules, etc., moderators can elect to take away some or all of your forum cash. You may also be infracted along with the forum cash loss. Moderators would not like to do this to any members, but if you break a rule, :X: dead.



Downloading (-Forum Cash)

When you buy a program from the Download Section, it will take away from your forum cash according to what the author charges. When you buy a program, you have not downloaded it yet. Buying only puts it in your Program Purchases page. To download a bought program, just go to the program's page and click "Download Now".
