@Nate: I just changed the title. The benefit of having a blog is not only does it provide the user with a set of points it also makes the user more visible to other users because now he appears in the news section. Currently the way my website is set up users have the ability to shout on each...

@Digital: I kind of have a hard time seeing things from a financial concept as I don't see the whole picture that well. I find it easier for me to see most things in the form of parts.

I am quite curious as to how one builds an npc in a virtual petsite? Does it require certain parameters to be filled out? How does it know when it should appear and disappear? How does approve or disprove an npc loan? @Nate.Tube: Mentioned that one could use an npc to help out the bank...

@Digital: I will have to give my system a bit more thought. I still need to figure out my sinks and sources before I can do much of anything else.

@Anoua: The way the user bank would make money would be off of loans. Basically other users would place money into your own bank and then you would loan amount some of that money to other users with a bit of interest attached to it. You would then pay your depositers a small amount of interest...

I am just curious from a virtual pet standpoint. Would users which to run their very own bank? Would users like to deal with run on the bank scenarios?

@Hare: I see, most of the time species will be unique but not the pet ones. That does make sense. @Anoua: One of the problems I have with ids is they are very hard to know who has what id since I id's can get pretty large.  I am guessing the same would hold true for blogs, and private messages...

@Sparren: When I was talking about donations I was referring to points instead of real money. Basically a group of users donate points to another user in form of points. I am not planning on using real currency with my site. The donation box will feature a retrieve button where the user...

For example take the Neopets sites what the creators decided instead of calling Scorchio species Scorchio they decided to call it Chomby instead even though there is actually a Chomby creature which looks completely different. http://neopets.wikia.com/wiki/Chomby...

@Sparren: I do need to think as to how my users will react to a tax system. The maximum poor people limit I want are users who have up to 5,500 points in cache. I am thinking of breaking my tax system down into 4 different tax system. Each will be calculated independentally so that one can't...

So currently 80% of the blog is done with the blog comment section not even yet started. The blogs and blog comments or replies as they would be called will be my first revenue resources with a couple of restrictions. The blog section will also be a source of a sink as well for my virtual pet...

@Anoua: I think the problem is not the name itself but the coding itself. For example take this for change: http://duelingpets.net/pets/Space Cat Suppose someone decided to also create a Space Cat called SPace CaT or Space Cat in addition to the original one. These two spacecats will not show...

@Syntax: Yeah I am using weird logic. The lower the tax bracket the more you pay. @Anoua Good question. The tax system that I have in place will be on a yearly basis or a biyearly basis either sometime in the summer or a combination of summer and winter. It will take money out of the system...

I am doing pretty well. The new rebuild progress is going great though. :)

Some of the old Dune forums are kind of dead.

I just thought I try out a really strange idea for a tax system. 10 - 90 points will have a tax bracket of 30% 100 - 900 points will have a tax bracket of 15% 1000 - 9000 points will have a tax bracket of 7.5% I like a bit of help from the community since I am kind of new at this thing. I...

I do like names to be unique but something like Petri12348854875777477574 is weird. Perhaps it be best to remove numbers otherwise people get lazy. The problem with non unique names is if you are searching for something like Dragon then you might get the first dragon that is found and this can...

The problem with chatboxes is it is dependent on how active your members are. Not everyone is on at the same time all the time. Some are in different countries, changing to Discord doesn't change the problem that the chatbox couldn't solve. I personally don't have a discord and I don't I will...

I see I could use some help balancing my sources and things I don't really have any sinks. I only have sources and source/sinks no full blown sinks.

Speaking of Graphics Magick I used that same code with uploading my files to my website in ruby on rails. :)
