    Hey fellow skyblockers :)

    I was just wondering if there was a way to get more players to join the forums.
    And I think I found a solution: People should get a reward for signing up. Just as with voting.
    The broadcast in-game would say something like: Join our forums at Skyblock Forums and get 10 grassblocks as reward. ( Just an example ;) )At the moment the broadcast says: Join our forums at Skyblock Forums. I think this is not enough to get players join the forums. Ones the rewards are added (If possible) I think more players will join. This way the forums will get more active, and there will be more fun :)

    I was thinking about, when signing in you should give up your in-game name. Ones you have signed up you get your reward(s). And if you were asking yourself: No the player can not get more rewards, because they can only make one account with their playername ;)

    Tell me what you think :)

    Not sure if Cyp has the XenForo plugin for this (might cost money), but it's still a good idea. Support :)

    What do you think all of the donations are for? :p

    Support, I think when people hear 'forums' they think of something like Minecraft Forums, which is less user-to-user chat and more about transmitting things. This community is small enough for us to establish relations with everyone, which they'll be able to see when they come here. To be honest, I only came here because I had a suggestion to post and then I got sucked in from there.

    Just make it so that only one IP may get an account and receive a reward. It's not perfect, but it's better protection than most.

    It takes more than 10 seconds to change your IP more than once...
    Also, if you're going to change your IP over and over again for grass blocks, you have no life.

    make the reward appealing to non donors and less that what a 25 donor gets in a kit.
    That would mean making alt forum accounts and trying to farm the system to be waste of time.
    If this requires money, then of course it may not the best idea... but depending how much it would work. Possibly one that allows org people to choose money? idk

    That just changes your local/private IP address not your public IP

    As for this server plugin/forum addon, just make it so it can only be redeemed once per IGN

    Support this would be good the only problem is I think heaps if people would join the forums and get the reward but never go back on the forums.

    Sometimes, people just need a small try at something for it to go a long way. As someone mentioned earlier, a lot of people may view Skyblock forums as similar to Minecraft forums so they may just not join. That's what I thought as well when I first started out playing Skyblock. It wasn't actually until I got a high donor rank that I decided to sign up for forums.

    I was pleasantly surprised.

    This reward idea will encourage more players to participate in this (awesome) community. Support! :)
