Note: there is one installation step specific to vB 2.3.0. If you are using an earlier version it might require some creativity on your part to install this hack.
This hack is based on Sun's Java support forums' "Duke Dollars." This allows you to place a "dollar" offer when posting a thread, and when you get a helpful reply, give that member some of your "money." If memory serves, this can equate to buying trinkets at Sun's store. In vB it's mostly for pride although it may be possible to integrate this into other hacks like the infamous Store hack. The user's funds are always stored in $bbuserinfo['dollars'].
User-side, the user can offer a given number of dollars for any thread they post. If nobody replies or only they reply, they can retract the offer (this can be changed from the user CP). To award a user with the dollars, he has to click the "Award" button in the postbit. The thread will then be marked has having no dollar offer. Threads with dollar offers are marked in forumdisplay with an icon. When the award is given, the funds are subtracted from the thread poster's account and added to the awardee's funds. The user's funds are shown in his user CP.
Admin-side, an admin can designate which forums can allow dollar offers (by default they all will when installing this hack; when changing this setting only future threads are affected). An admin can also manually edit user accounts and can view the top 10 richest members. In addition, a given user's account can be completely emptied (useful when banning). There are also options for minimum allowed, maximum allowed, and default dollar awards.
Moderators, supermoderators, and administrators can always override some options. They can cancel offers by any member. However they are subject to the same "rules of economics" as any member (rewarding a member will always deduct from their funds and give to the member).
All images included have their PSD counterparts included in layered form and are based on the vBulletin graphics developer kit.
Screenshots are included in a zip below.
This hack comes with a powerful install script that runs the necessary queries for you. It also creates all custom templates. However it is up to you to do the file edits and template edits (included in the instructions).
Please reply with any comments you have. Just a "it's working" is appreciated.

I have a different postbit and tryed 2 put the award button by the buddy button http://www.plugspark.com/forums/ and it doesn't even attempt 2 show up! HELP!
How do I un-install this hack?.. I accidently installed it twice, now everything is duplicated... I need to fix it somehow so that only one turtle dollars is running... You can even make a new post on my forums without entering a dollar figure in, otherwise it comes back with errors!.. can someone let me know how I can fix this, or uninstall the hack completely?
P.S. - Is there a way to apply this hack to specific forums only?...I only want to offer this in certain areas.
Is it possible to subtract X amount of dollars from a users account? From the screen captures I only see the option to delete all the money from a users account.
if u have the store u can remove the money using the options from that hack.In this thread is an addon that swaps the turtle dollors system to the store system which i think is a lot better anyway.
