alan8187 Posted June 10, 2006 CID Share Posted June 10, 2006 Does anyone know what type of forum this is? When a person posts, he or she gets a certain amount of dollars, not real money but money on the forums. Then there is a section where software/pictures/video files are sold for the forum money. The more the person post the more $$ he or she get and the more downloads he or she is able to get with the money on the forums. edit: the money is not real currency of any kind.

alan8187 Posted June 10, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 10, 2006 There is no real currency involved, people share files/programs/pictures for $$ in exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted June 10, 2006 CID Share Posted June 10, 2006 Just the thought of $$ in your account would make some people feel like they had achieved real wealth. Kind of like winning at a Monololy game, you know it is not real. But it still feels good to pretend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 10, 2006 CID Share Posted June 10, 2006 There is no real currency involved, people share files/programs/pictures for $$ in exchange is it illegal sharing of files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
