Post Here to Contact Site Administrators and Moderators

Hi!
I'm new to the site, and today I clicked on "Banking", curious as to what that was about. Aside from being able to "buy" things with these points, it appears there are some games available, on which you can wager your points. While I could access the "high scores", I could not find the location of the games themselves through a search, nor do I see a link anywhere.
It's probably right in front of my face, but would someone be kind enough to show me where to access these games? I'm hoping one of them is a craps game!
TIA!

i think the arcade got canceld some time ago...

The games fell by the wayside a few months back if I recall; they were almost never used.

What 'banking' mostly amounts to is a metric of user activity. There are bit costs and rewards for doing various things here. Creating a thread in the Emergency Forum costs bits, creating threads elsewhere earns you bits, posting earns you bits, answering someone else's post in the emergency forum earns extra bits, etc, etc.

We're still hopeful we can set up an "economy" of bits, i.e. being able to exchange them for various virtual services. The emergency forum is one example but we're open to more ideas.

Thanks for the reminder.

We need to insure that, since we removed the arcade/game section (for security reasons), we need to insure the Bits wording is updated.

I just checked the banking area about where to spend bits and it says:

... I don't recall where the Arcade, which we removed recently, is listed a part of the Bits area. In fact, I don't recall the Arcade Games tied to the Bits system at all

There used to be Bits lotteries and the like, though, the 'bits club'.

All of that still exists:

The old gaming arcade was completely different that the Bits Club area.
