I got a few new features for the forum which you people should find helpful.
First up, the shop!
Accessible under the GF feature links drop down menu, this link will take you to the GF store. From here you can view the money you have made and look up other member's money amounts.
If you click on the shop tab, you will be taken to a page that gives three categories, Forum effects, Advertising, and Video game point cards.
Forum effects
Under this category you will find items that affect the forum and your account. Current items in there upload a emoticon and Profile customization. The emoticon is self explanatory, but the profile customization item will unlock the ability for your usergroup to customize your profile page by up loading a image or changing the background color. Please click on my username for sneak peak of what you can do (the image I have up loaded wasn't big enough >_>)
That is all for this, I will add more items in the near future.
Advertising
In this category, you will be able to buy items that will allow you to advertise your forum/website around GF. Right now there is only one item but more will be added soon.
Video game points card
This is a very special category for loyal GF posters (trust me, you need to be loyal to get this one) where you can buy, with your unreal GF money, real video game money points for the PSN, Wii, or Xbox live. These items are not cheap and will take you more then 6 months to gather the needed amount to buy one of these. But once you do, I will be in contact with you to find out how to ship the card to your door step. Be aware this will require you to give me some personal info, personal info that will not be shown beyond my eyes.
If you need a description of a item, there is a little arrow by the item name that you can click on to give you info.
Now, your wondering what is the money and how do you get it?
First off, our money is called Shards (as in shards broken off from glass, crystal, ect.) and you get them by posting around the forum, getting members to donate their shards to you, and by winning contests.
Below is a chart on how much shards you get in each forum. *warning, the image could be big*

Now the store is still beta, as in prices could change and things could be added and removed. I'll keep you updated if there is any changes. I like to thank Nexus of HCNET forums for helping me out some with this mod.
Next up is the Mood mod, If you notice to the left of any of your posts there will be a image of your current mood. You can change your mood via a drop down bar somewhere at the top of a skin. You can't miss it and have fun trying to find a correct mood.
Next mod is for the guests, as promise in the monthly update I have now added ads on the front page and in all topics on the GF forums. I did this for two reasons,
1. To gain some money so I can buy some better mods/skins for gamingforce.
2. To drive up registrations.
That's all for this update. If you got any questions feel free to ask. My next project is to work on the wiki. If you wish to help with that drop me a PM.
