For most of us, a credit system is intended for stimulating forum growth. Not too many people are going to pay for points that only buy special features that another forum gives away for free. But the guys at vBCredits are doing a great job at putting together a stable, consistent system that can then be used to handle real world money for those that need it.

You have to understand, there were shops that integrated into vBulletin, but they either stopped being supported they were revealed to have serious security vulnerabilities. The vBCredits guys are going to put together a serious system for replacing these, but they have to make absolutly sure the bugs are out of it if it's in some cases going to be handling people's money. They also have some personal family issues (like starting a new family) that they have to deal with on top of that. But they will get it out. We just have to hang in there, as this type of system can't fall flat out the gate with so much riding on it.
