Members earn $.02 fish cents for their posts. As this adds up things such as classified ads can be purchased with Fish Bucks. You’ll also earn $.20 fish cents for logging in during the day. (max every 4 hours)
Fish Bucks will be needed to change display names and upload avatars. (the first avatar upload is free though) Since photos/display names need to be approved by the staff there is some work involved so these options need to cost something to prevent a flood of work. (even though it isn’t real money)
The avatar upload option isn’t finished but I expect to be done before I head to bed tonight. The avatar will be correctly resized as well so that shouldn’t be an issue for members either.
