I'm just curious, what is the experience gain for?
And for that matter, the minerals?
And our inventory?
It probably says somewhere on the site and I'm gunna feel like a tool when someone points it out to me... ;P

Experience builds up your level. Your level acts as a multiplier towards voting, so if you're level 5, when you vote you're actually casting 5 x votes. Also, when you login you'll notice you earn minerals based on your level.

Minerals are currently only used when downloading beyond the daily download limit. Everyone gets a huge amount of starting minerals though so you won't have any problem downloading everything you want/need.

Later on, minerals and levels will count towards other things. I just have to think of more ways they can bring added value to the community without becoming annoying requirements to use features of the website.

Inventory is what is used to hold items, however I think you'll find there are no items added just yet. Getting items is also currently impossible. They, similar to minerals, could be used for future features of the website... and others are simply "collectables". I have no plans at the moment to add any items, so don't worry about that for now. One day it will pop-up in your face, i'm sure Tongue

Interesting.
And yes, I agree, on sites like Nibbits the experience and level thing is a bit ridiculous. I'm surprised you can even post without having to be a high level, and lets face it, who really wants to post 50 times to be able to get an avatar, I mean really.

You could turn the inventory into some sort of trophy case, and grant trophies based on things like "most popular map" or "reached lvl 5", sort of like achievements.
I dunno, just a thought.

I'm hoping for a font-colourization feature. I don't care if its 500 minerals I'd buy it anyway. lol
That, and animated avatars. xD

The problem i've discovered with font-colourization is that it would cause sections of the website to look "ugly" as the colours won't fit in with the theme of the website. If I ever add this, it would be limited to specific colors.

I have currently set avatars to be converted to JPG images which means that animated GIF images won't be possible. This is due to the system design which I have put in place for good reason. Also, flashing images could become annoying. It is definately a future consideration, though. Happy

An excellent site Happy

A thought for items, perhaps your first x members could get a "Founding Member" zergling skull trophy or something Tongue

Anyway, love the idea of managing your excess downloads through minerals. Really good idea.

Aw, I see. So the Minerals and experience points ordeal really does serve an actual purpose instead of ******** with our heads... well instead of "just" ******** with our heads that is. Intriguing idea this stuff is nonetheless.
