Forum Shop

[Admin]

Hey!
Check out the Forum Shop link next to Forum Home.
I found this nifty little modification, and I thought it looked like fun. I figured we could try it out and see if we like it.
You get "credits" for posting on the forum, and you can buy "items" that do certain things. You can also put items you've bought up for trade/sale, or give people credits! 

edit: "Forum Shop" is now "Garage"

[DuneJunkie]

it just takes me right back to the same thing...........

silly me!
Posted on: January 30, 2007, 01:14:31 PMNow I got it!

thats really cool!

[Admin]

Yeah, I don't know if calling it a shop is a good idea, it will definitely confuse people with our actual store. It was originally just called Shop. But I changed it to Forum Shop to hopefully cut down on confusion. Any ideas for a different name?

[DuneJunkie]

ok, thanks admin, thats good to know!

[Admin]

Any time!

[DuneJunkie]

I think we should delete this whole thread and keep the secret to ourselves!

[Admin]

Hmmm.....

[hdrider]

 To late to hide it,,, I've seen it now !!!

[duraraptor]

Me too, gimme those credits!

[DuneJunkie]

well, we are screwed, duraraptor and 

[Dune Dude]

Keep the name SHOP. or maybe garage.
Instead of getting credits we could call it "cc"'s .  Meaning that for every post etc, you get more cc's (engine displacement).  Then we could see who the big motor people are (size does matter). Then we could make up rewards for cc's.  Like 25 cc's buys nerf bars.  50 cc's buys a racing a arms etc.  We could see who can get the biggest and most tricked out atv. 

[Admin]

Haha  great idea DD!! I'l get that going ASAP! Why don't you come up with a list of items? That would be helpful.

Posted on: January 31, 2007, 12:18:30 PMYou might have noticed I changed it to "Garage"

[Dune Dude]

I think everyone should start out on a T.I. 50cc
Then with TBD posts get a choice of next size Polaris Outlaw 90, Honda TRX 90, Suzuki Quadsport Z90, Yamaha Raptor 80, Kawasaki KFX 90  (extra post needed to get Extreme 90  Sponsor TRD Innovations
Next level Artic Cat DVX 250, Can-am BPR DS250, Honda TRX250EX, Polaris Phoenix 200, Suzuki Quadsport Z250
Next level Artic Cat DVX 400, Honda TRX400EX, Suzuki Quadsport Z400, Yamaha Raptor 350
Next level Honda TRX450R, Kawasaki KFX 450, Suzuki LT-R450, Yamaha YFZ450
Next level  (not as many post needed to get here.  Many might prefer to just trick out their 450 than go bigger)
Can-am DS650X, Kawasaki KFX700, Polaris Outlaw 525, Yamaha Raptor 700R
We should keep them current with the new models every year.

Accessories...
K+N filter
Alba Performance Exhaust
Verde Powersports Graphics Kit
Pro Armor Racing Bumper and grab Bar
ITP Sand Star Tires
ITP Beadlock Wheels
Elka Shocks
Laeger's extended a-arms
IMS nerfbars
Quad Tech Seat cover
CDI box
Lonestar Extended Swingarm
Big Bore Kits
(try to keep them Sponsor specific)
suggestions?

[Admin]

The only problem with your ATV idea is that the way it works is people have to buy the atv with the cc's. So cc's are still basically just money. Also you could buy multiple atv's, and I don't know if that's a good idea. The other thing is I don't think there is a way to upgrade. Like, you have one item and it gets replaced by another...

[Dune Dude]

Can the atv be sold back to the "garage" if you want to upgrade?  Like a trade in?  Or do we need to keep collecting cc's until you can get the ATV you want? 

[Admin]

No you can't sell anything back to the garage. That's something I will be trying to integrate soon.

I just thought of this: What if we changed the "I-IN-INS-INSA-INSAN-INSANE!!" post ranking system to engines? The only catch would be that you don't have a choice of what engine you got. 
Posted on: January 31, 2007, 02:45:23 PMBy the way, all of the prices for everything are at 25 right now. I have no idea was a good price for anything would be. What are your thoughts?

[DuneJunkie]

well, as fat as prices, I know vp is cheap and he don't cost much!

[duraraptor]

WOW at this rate my garage will be full in no time.

[Dune Dude]

I forgot to mention a COW BELL accessory.  That should be worth 100 cc's.

[DuneJunkie]

I forgot to mention a COW BELL accessory.  That should be worth 100 cc's.

that way we can here DD coming...........

[duraraptor]

He does love his cow bells. 

[Dune Dude]

What if instead of the I IN INS system and tires we get quads of different sizes based on posts.  Start with a generic 50cc then up to a generic 90 etc.  And then we can use the cc's to buy mods for them.

[RTOYZ]

Wow, I must get typing again. I have Wheels but no CC's to push them. I'm Screwed if I hit a hill.

[DuneJunkie]

Wow, I must get typing again. I have Wheels but no CC's to push them. I'm Screwed if I hit a hill.

just don't put them on backwards................


and hey vp...........if you get stuck on a hill, I might be willing to "lend" you some if you need it!

[Admin]

I'm not to sure using "cc" as money really makes much sense. I think we should go back to the "credit" form of money.

So what are the ATV levels going to be? DD you said start with a generic 50cc then up to a generic 90. So this is what I have so far:

Level one: Generic 50cc
Level two: Generic 90cc

is that actually what we want to call them? Is there something else like "50cc ATV"?? I don't really know that much about quad's. So if you guys could help me out. Here: Fill in the blanks:

Level one: _______
Level two: _______
Level three: _______
Level four: _______
Level five: _______
Level six: _______
if you want to go on you can..

Accessories:
Alba Performance Exhaust - $____
Big Bore Kits - $____
CDI box - $____
Elka Shocks - $____

If there is anything else you want to add, let me know what it is and how much to sell it for.

P.S. What do you think of my idea of an honorary wheel? It will be outrageously expensive and there's only one. So if you ever get your hands on it you can keep it for a while or pass it on to someone else or whatever.

[duraraptor]

As far as the cc's go, that is the engine size for example you can go from 50-80-90-110-125-150-175-200-250-300-350-400-450-660-700-800-there are others

[DuneJunkie]

Has anyone bought anything yet?

[Admin]

No.

[DuneJunkie]

looks like I better go shopping!   

[Dune Dude]

I'm waiting till I get a big boy quad! 

[Admin]

If you buy stuff now, your quad will still automatically upgrade, and you will keep all of your addons, too.

[duraraptor]

How do you get a larger quad?  Number of posts?

[Dune Dude]

duraraptor,

There are all kinds on sites on the internet on how to make it bigger. 

[Admin]

How do you get a larger quad?  Number of posts?

Yes.

Engine size: 50cc - Posts required:0
Engine size: 80cc - Posts required:50
Engine size: 90cc - Posts required:100
Engine size: 110cc - Posts required:200
and so on..

[DuneJunkie]

duraraptor,

There are all kinds on sites on the internet on how to make it bigger. 

I think he was asking about the quad DD!

[Dune Dude]

So was I.  Bigger grab bars, front bumpers, taller handle bar stems, wider axles, extended swing arms and a-arms. 
What did you think I meant? 

[DuneJunkie]

oh, oh yea...........I knew that!

[duraraptor]

DD ned's all of that stuff just to fit on it.........but then again so do I.

[DuneJunkie]

us big guys need big bikes!

[Dune Dude]

I don't need all the fancies!!  I'll meet up with anyone on the TrailBlazer...
Beware of the 250.  It's a sleeper...  Really, I have fallen asleep on it while riding.
Posted on: February 10, 2007, 07:11:30 AMNot to scare anyone, but I just added the Alba Performance Exhaust to my virtual quad!!  Anyone want to race?

[DuneJunkie]

oh boy, looks like dune dude is on the performance mods...........look out!

[RTOYZ]

I got me a set of elka's. Now I can cruise the forum faster without getting stuck.

[DuneJunkie]

I went shopping!  You all better start spending to catch up!

[Admin]

New item in the garage!

Paint job
Give your display name a new paint job! Changes the color of your display name in topics.
This item can only be used once. After that you have to buy it again to change your color. So choose the color you want carefully!

[DuneJunkie]

Well thats cool!  Good job admin!
