I am testing out some new features of vBookie so it will be unavailable for the next day or two. Sorry for the minor league inconvenience.

I was coming in here just to bitch about there not being anything to bet on. You ruined my fun.

This is so minor league!!! What am I going to do with all my vCash now for the next day or two :(.

I just noticed the vCash got reset... this post was a lot funnier when I thought I had 0 vCash.

So, Justin, I notice you gave yourself 10 extra vDollas over what everyone else has. I call foul play!!!

I think I've got the new system ready to go. I don't like the name "Points" however.

Anyone have any clever names?

OCbux?

We should be good to go on events now. I just got the new points system switched over about 10 minutes ago.

ChatterBucks or something like that would work
(I personally don't like the "OC" moniker, reminds me of that retarded TV show from a few years back)

I assume we are getting "points" for posts?

vBookie is ready to go.

Yes, "points" are being awarded for posting.

An 'x' is two less characters than 'cks'. That's a savings of a few bytes per page load. This leads to a savings of probably $.02 or $.03 per month. So yeah, I am pretty set on it.
