Surplus Points

I don't know how long I've been on RomUlation, but I must have been on for a looong time. I have over 7000 points now and none of the roms I've downloaded cost anything (i've been downloading NDS roms) so right now I'm wondering, can we think of a more creative way to use these excess points? :)

not that I know of and I have over 10k now with absolutely no use for them. loluntil a sweet NDS game or a PSX game gets uploaded anytime soon, the points will just keep accumulating.what DO we spend our points on since over 70% of the NDS games aren't worth points?

Dl games and sent them to me?Just joking.

You're welcome to come up with suggestions.

Cool, I was think that maybe the high quality versions of R3 could use the points, but thats most likely a retarded idea

Hmm, not much difference in the qualities anyway. If you have a good suggestion, post them.

I dunno about you guys, but the 10k points i bought today are going fast from downloading PSX ISOs :p. Maybe its just my preference though

has to be preference because I only get NDS games from here.and I have a LOT of PSX ISOs from last year.

Probably an option for still limited but slightly faster downloads with cost of more points?

Lots of people have a lot of points, the point of the download limit was to reduce load etc. on the server, being Premium you can download faster though. Quote a lot of people would take advantage of that offer. Me, my internet speeds can't get up to 300kb.

Sheesh, whoever would think that finding a way to get rid of excess money could be such a problem. But I do like the idea of a faster download for more points.Ooh, another idea! could we use them for preventing certain ads from appearing for us?

Give it to those less fortunate, I only have 18 points.Do you want my wish list in pen or word santa!

again, the points aren't worth money. Think of these as ChuckE Cheese Tokens. They're not redeemable for cash, meaning that there is no reason to save them outside of ChuckE Cheese.Faster download for more points might work on larger files. (again not NDS files)
This takes away the point of premium though...@anand. 300 KB/s in general or just on this server? 300 on the server is pretty decent. 300 max in general, is good depending on what kind of ISP you have.

In that case, why don't we make online games! ............Bleh, retarded idea

insane, regular members can download up to 300kb, Premium goes faster. On this server and in general, I have a 256k connection. The faster downloads for more points is dumb for some console downloads, a lot of people have heaps of points, that will add a lot more stress.

did I phrase something wrong?I said that by making faster downloads, it takes away the point of premium.
Both of your responses sound like you thought that I supported that idea... ???Without premium, no money, then no server.@anand again: I have never noticed the 300 KB/s cap since by the time I even notice what speed it's at, the file's done.

how about signatures for html n00bs?

People usually request for those.

Shouldn't this be moved to Site Suggestions?

that's debatable, it's technically not a suggestion, it's asking for other ways to use points. I think I'll move it to site support.
