Earn IF GoldPoints to play Games and Access Special Features


You can earn IF Gold Points through referrals (100 IF GoldPoints for each new member you refer). Also, you can earn more points by starting new topics.

For example: Each new topic you start will earn you 5 IF GoldPoints instead of the 2 IF GoldPoints for a simple reply.

Every reply in your topic earns 1 extra IF GoldPoint automatically for each reply. If you start a new topic and get 100 replies, you will earn 105 IF GoldPoints in total. Therefore, people who start new topics and have many replies will earn more IF GoldPoints compared to someone who only replies and doesn't start new topics. Here's a quick guide to the IF GoldPoints system: Refer a new member:

Earn 100 IF GoldPoints for each new member you refer. eg. Ask 5 friends to join and you will earn 500 IF GoldPoints.

Post a new topic: Earn 5 IF GoldPoints Reply or Reply w Quote: Earn 2 IF GoldPoints If you post a new topic, you will earn 1 IF GoldPoint automatically for each reply in your thread. Eg. Post a new topic which gets 100 replies. You will earn 105 IF GoldPoints in total. 100 points for each reply and 5 points for posting the new topic.

Below is a list of the message posting rank awards for members of our forum. It is based on a "friends and relationship" theme. Another benefit is that you can store more messages in your Private Messages inbox, outbox, sentbox, etc. as you move up the ranks.

This is a note to anyone posting on our forum or any public Internet web site. As public Internet web sites (discussion forums, comments areas, Usenet Newsgroups, mailing lists, etc.) can be read by anyone, it's a good idea not to write your text email address (Your@EmailAddress.com) in a public post or message that everyone can read. The reason is because many spammers will use software to scan most of the public Internet web sites and harvest anything that looks like an email address such as "AnyName@EmailAddress.com" and then they will start spamming or sending junkmail to these email addresses.

If you need to email someone, please contact them by PMsg (Private Messaging) on this discussion forum. Otherwise, you can use our proxy Email system which forwards your email to someone without displaying your text email address. These Private Messages will not be displayed publicly therefore spammers cannot read them. If you're worried about getting junk mail from spammers, please follow these suggestions and avoid including your text email address in posts that can be viewed by the general public.

You know I didn't even think about it when Paladin posted what he did. Mahalo Paladin, I've never posted my e-mail because I've been through this and it isn't fun; but mine came from people I did know.

Mahalo to DSun too; better safe than sorry....

When I first took over my sister's old computer with Windows 95 installed, I was leaving my e-mail address all over websites that had guest books to sign. Boy, did I ever pay the price! I had to change my e-mail address. Whenever I go to a web site and see that link to "Sign my Guest Book", I never click on the link anymore.

[fujlc]

yeah...i know exactly what you mean. If I really really really realllllly hate someone...I fill out hundreds of survey with their email address on it just to junk up their mail....

I'm evil

naughty boy fujlc. I don't know I could have done this to so many but never sought revenge to do it. It didn't stop them though.

There are other ways instead of doing that sjohnsonviji; just ignore people like that. Sometimes revenge may not be the answer..and it can come back to make things worse for you instead.
