This looks like an interesting new feature with cool ass quests and shower
BUT GET IT THE flower OFF MY SCREEN FOR flowerS SAKE
better late then never pyro lol
but i do agree
I don't get it, Care to shed some light? All I know is that it's fairly annoying
I still don't fully understand what the rewards actually are... :-\
Yeah I must agree that the rewards thing is just annoying. I don't really care if I get a purple name in chat or if I can get a tweet shout out, I just want it off my screen. How many points do I need for that feature?
Yeah it's really annoying.
Amen, but Monty fix my issue first :)
I actually havent noticed it recently.
Still not getting it. Haha.
if it makes Monty money and gets us a seperate forum server and keeps our site going, i can live with it, but i did try to kill it ! :o

It should in theory. By doing the quests and getting rewarded for visiting and navigating the site more often it generates more pageviews. Those increased pageviews potentially allow m0nty to charge more for advertising space or at the very least increase the likelihood of users clicking on the advertising banners.
Same deal with the incentives to share our quest and badge achievements on social media, this generates publicity and exposure aimed at driving more users to the site. More users = more hits = more potential advertising revenue.
I think it's unfair m0nty is #5 on the leaderboard :P.
I've gotten use to the little screen. What bugs me is that I can't finish current quests even if I go to the page/search for something. Never registers as it's done :(.
As Mr. Craig said, was used as a way to get more advertising for the site (with more page views, social media sharing, etc). I don't mind it as something different from other forums! Although an not interested in any rewards :P. It has come along same time as forum servers have been upgraded for the weekends (already done a few weeks ago when people complained and m0nty responded) :).
I'm having issues with being able to shut it down. Not really interested in gaining the rewards myself, but no problems with the concept. Close it down but it opens back up whenever I move to a new thread. Getting quite frustrating :(

+2 Hate having to minimize it after every different page i go to.
There's this thing called ad-block.
& I'm pretty sure m0nty has said in the past that his income isn't based on views so ad-block won't hurt the site.
(If not, please correct me - Will switch it off for FF if this is not the case)

Never used it because all my tablets are android and I rarely use my phone to come on here, but there is this (https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/adblock-for-ios-must-have/id537774578?l=en&mt=8).
Was disappearing yesterday after it popped up about ten seconds later it would drop down again. I thought yep good move m0nty but today I see its back to remaining. Did this happen for anyone else yesterday.
I don't even have it appearing for me anymore :-\. Not sure if good or bad...
Think the FF in general is pretty whacked out for me, like unable to see live scores unless I take "live." out of the url link, player pages not loading and unable to see my Outbox of PMs on the forum. I may be alone here though.
Can't see it either HP but not having those other problems :-\
Hm, it popped up for me once and I was intrigued so decided to check it out...Can't get past the 'log in' checkpoint. (Yes, I am logged in on both the main site and forum).
I refuse to login to my FF account because of ths stuff. At least when i'm logged out there's only a little box on the side.

Meh, once I realised that it wasn't functioning I just blocked all the necessary elements and the widgets went away.
Hopefully m0nty sorts it out, it's an interesting concept if you can get it right.
I'm love this system it doesn't work sometimes but could there be a way to tell which team I have to create to get the badge etc, etc
