With clearly not enough work to keep us occupied I'm happy to announce that we're looking at establishing a CCF virtual currency behind the scenes to reward active and helpful members. This is a rather large undertaking so it will come in stages. First stage is to establish a Credit or Currency system for CCF. Think of it as virtual earnings for doing the things you do on CCF, sort of a reward.
Do I need to participate and/or care?
Nope, you can stop reading right now. There's no penalty for non-participation. It's actually a CCF perk and no one is under any obligation to use the credits or even read past this line........
What is it?
It's a virtual currency that has yet to be named... It is specific to CCF. I am seriously asking for suggestions for currency names, CCFCs is the closest I have to a name that abbreviates well. Please help me....
Why and what's the purpose?
Purpose it to reward active members and encourage inactive or shy members to post more and check often more.
Is it real money? Can I buy a triple salty ground hog Starbucks latte with it? Can I bribe local officials?
Local officials maybe but no, it's a virtual currency and bears no monetary value outside of CCF.
How do I make CCF dough?
Earning events will be setup for things like visiting CCF daily, creating a thread, answering a question, getting lots of likes etc etc. These will be published and refined over time. You will be able to gift/donate them to other members too.
Now that I'm a CCF millionaire, what can I do?
We will be setting up contests, raffles, competitions, giveaways that may be credits driven in the future so idea is you will spend them there or other CCF featured services.
Still don't get it?
It'll hopefully be a fun way to keep you engaged and get fresher members to post more. Unlike trophies you'll be able to spend these eventually. Plus we owe our moderators quite a bit of back pay so you know.... credits....
Can I help?
You can join the Beta program to shake things down. Oh and I seriously am taking suggestions for a name for this currency. Post any you can think of below, Eric Shillings is my backup name.

(as you likely did Nik) and found nothing that seemed interesting or “Corvettey”.
