I've seen this addon, but not figured out what it's for. We use trophy points to promote users through new usergroups and I have only had negative feedback over the aspect that members have to earn privileges.My pages/member doubled once I started using @******* credits. It was like 1/10th away from a 100% increase in pages/user.
I bought the premium version, integrated it with resources and allow people to buy resources which are mostly in-game items sold by other players (the forum revolves around a game within a game).That's an interesting find - can your members "buy" something with their credits or use them elsewhere on the site?
In hindsight it just seems so obvious. Why would people go to a different tab when they already get the idea of subforums?
- QuoteME ! : before 1.3 this was crucial, but even now it's got a slight edge
Bottom line... If it doesn't solve a problem of some sort, it's not worth the effort.

Members are often motivated to help others, so if we make it easy for them to contribute in a useful way and make it to their benefit as well, then there is a good chance that users will do so.
Brilliant post, Alfa1. I totally agree with you that integration is where it is at.@JBS I partly agree with that. The community will build it for you if you motivate them to do so and integrate it tightly into their experience. They are not going into a new application and build a directory of any kind. But if some smart functions are added that allows them to quickly add forum content to the application, they get rewarded for it, the new content enters their daily routine in many ways, then it becomes a different story.
