Aquarium Community Bank

[Nikita706]

So, I'm wondering how the Aquarium Community Bank works. I currently have 802.25 points, but no money in the bank. Do people need to donate money to me or do I earn it? And if I ever do acquire money, what types of things would the money purchase?

Just curious. Thanks for the help!

LOL you have to deposit it... Go to the bank and enter the amount you want to deposit.

[Nikita706]

Well that makes sense, lol. I'll go try it.

[Nikita706]

Okay. New question! Should I deposit all of my points or is there a reason to only deposit a few dollars here and there?

You gain interest on any points in the bank. However you must make a withdrawl before making any purchases. If you go to the store you can see what you can purchase now...

So I should deposit everything to accrue interest, but I have to withdraw money to purchase something?

the main reason for banking your points is so nobody can steal them. a feature i hate, by the way

[Nikita706]

Yeah, I wasn't fond of that feature either when I read about it. Also, I was considering changing the color on my username. Does anyone know if there's a color chart that will show what's available?

I say we should thieve the people who are inactive with less than 5 posts...

i just wish the "thief" feature was permanently disabled.
good point though. they're not using them

Another idea would be to add all the points of the users with less than 5 posts and then divide them amongst the active users!!

I'll second that, and the removal of the thieving system... it gets old having to go to the bank every few posts to deposit them before some enterprising soul comes along and says "Hey that bloke isn't using these, and I need a few quid in my pocket..."

Hahaha, let's do it! Pillage and plunder!

LOL Live and learn. I have more points than I know what to do with thanks to the generosity of parties that shall remain unnamed.
