Bag some Boince
Well the success of the Boinng Game in keeping this place going for the last week or so got me to thinking... and the result is Boince for everybody!
Boince is the new currency of Boinng. Like all the best currencies (of certain developing states) it can't actually be exchanged for goods or services, and it has no monetary value whatsoever, but it's real easy to earn! For every story or feature article you submit you now get 5 juicy boince in your virtual back pocket. Blogs, forum topics, and polls all earn you 3, comments are worth 2, and adding a piccie gets you 1 too.
If you've been here for years and are worried you've been slaving away for nothing till now, fear not - Boince is retrospective, and you've just had your backpay in full - check out your account page to see how much boince you've earned already, and see the members by boince page to see where you are in the earning stakes to date...

this is separate from the Gallery, which is mostly for admin use and doesn't score you (or me) any boince..

It wasn't exactly setting the world alight, and probably confused people more than anything...

I demand a second opinion!

all accrued boince is freely exchangeable for the equivalent value in francs, lire, or deutchmarks...
