...................................
Simplicity:
this system is a lot more simplier than all the other points systems, provide less features, but at least, it work from the start, and can be upgraded without being hassled by a long HowTo... it is so simple that ANY coder can support it... even if the creator(me) dies, everybody can make a follow up of these works.
Advantages:
- no API... no need to learn a lot of codes to be able to write a new addon for it.
- no strange calculations... you can add, delete, multiply points without having to filter everything.
- a lot of hooks possible. so if you want to apply a filter to the default points given, per usergroup or per forum, you can... without having to re-write everything.
- no need to edit millions of templates...actually, with the Core Only, you have no file or template to edit...it use the vBulletin hooks system at its best!
- no millions of features for no uses... if you don't want to use this or that feature, just don't install it! everything is run by products related to the CORE... so if you don't want all these gadgets, you don't have to install them.
Features:
default features in the core package: give points when posting threads or replies, give points on reputation... that's all...
Admin can now edit users points in the User Management...
A lot of features in the future... each time something is requested, we can see if it is possible with the default installation of vBulletin, and if not, we can surely provide a file edit to make it work.
MESSAGE TO CODERS:: if you want to play with it and bring addons and new features, PLEASE do so.. this is the goal of this freely plugable system.
MESSAGE for vBbux Owners:: The vBbux Import is now back as a package in this thread. If you already imported your vBbux points, DON'T DO IT AGAIN!
READ THE HowTo.txt file to know what to do with this...

and if a coder here with a better attitude than me is interested to continue the distribution and support of this tool, just ask me, i'll be happy to let it go...
not really... it's more like a discussion of more than 5000 lines... and a 1 and a half year of debates. enough said... sorry, but it's more than the public things.. lol
so your points system will no longer be supported here at vbulletin.org unless someone else takes it over which you will allow?... but in the coming days/weeks you will be supporting this on your own website ?
