Would it be possible to have a weekly draw for 1k nation gold every 1 to 2 weeks?
It's rather hard to obtain gold on nation, hell, it took me almost a year to gather 5'000 gold from nothing. By doing this you'll attract a bit more traffic from new users who may post more often than once in a blue moon.

i'd like that
it's a little unfair for people who really want all the pets who...can't really do that
or at least, increase the gold-to-post raito

I personally never found problems with obtaining nation gold, but it's probably because I just post a lot more than other people in various sections outside of Bean Rua. Granted, reporting stuff from KR has a massive hand in this so I wouldn't be opposed to this for those who don't make a lot of topics.
Does the system reward more gold for starting a thread than posting in a thread?

roy, you make massive posts in the KR section that nets you a lot of gold
that's why you have so much gold

I figured as much which is why I said it was a great idea for those who don't make lots of topics.

making a thread > making a post, and the length of your post increases gold. some sections also give more gold than others (but hardly noticeable). For example making a thread in the guides section gives more gold than anywhere else, to encourage people to make guides.

That would explain why I have so much bloody gold. My Drama Iria thread probably threw up my gold count like crazy considering how long it got covering all those episodes.
Wait, does editing a post and adding to it increase the gold count?

If I recall correctly (which could be completely wrong knowing my memory), it does. Osay would know for sure though, but I think I've noticed gold increasing when I edit a post considerably longer. Also having your post deleted and whatnot should remove your gold obtained from posting, so making spam/inappropriate posts doesn't reward people (or making a post/thread and then deleting it yourself real quick lol).
Then again after adding three sentences to this post, I saw no difference in gold production so it's probable that I'm wrong lol.

Sorry for making a silly question, but what is the purpose of gold anyway? It doesn't seem to be related to raising funds for maintaining this website and as far as unlocking more forum features, one has to write posts anyway to earn gold so it looks like buying currency with different currency. It's quite confusing to be honest...

Mostly pet icons like the one you got in the signature from the event I did a couple weeks back. Those are the most expensive things gold wise on nation and thus is a main source of gold woes for community members.

okay, so how do you expect us to afford all these pets you keep releasing if posts don't even give us a lot of gold in the first place?

Going to make a thread with all the info on how gold is calculated, people will see it's not so hard to make gold if they're active and do certain things.
