(LETTER ex: A)=main points of why I think this would be beneficial 

1. Possibly set up more Site achievements to earn Viz for new users and old Ex: earn X amount of Viz for playing the SAME game for 15 minutes. The next could be X amount for 1 Hour or however long you would decide. If this doesn't already take place.

 A.)This would draw out the time users spend on vizzed which, in my opinion would help the site grow exponentially. More time= more of
a likelihood a user OR guest will Grow a larger attachment to vizzed, share the sites existence in one form or another, and reach even more people that will likely repeat this same process. (smell that bobby, that's what site growth smells like)

2.)Add Achievements to SOME of the games (obviously start this out as a beta feature on just a couple games to make sure it can't be abused)

A.) this Would again increase how much time a given user might spend on vizzed thus increasing site traffic, word of mouth advertising, and If done right the likely hood that someone will Push to get the gear from the item shop to process certain emulations. (ex. A few achievements on each console) and also Making the possibility of getting achievements on your ROM hack if it is successful enough. This pushes more users to make Rom hacks= site library growing= wider selection

3.)Make all ROMS accessible to new accounts for xdays/day (if you're not already doing that it could be a good idea) and OPENLY advertise it and the amount of time it's free.

A.) this would increase sight traffic too. I don't need to go into detail how many new active accounts you'd get. (this could be a problem as butt hurt users might go make 10,000 accounts) I'm unsure about this but it could possibly work nicely

4.) Make Viz earning records. Probably make 2 different record placeholders: staff and user EX: Jonathan earned x amount of Viz in x amount of days NEW SITE RECORD. ALSO personal records would be a great idea too. "most vizzed user earned in a day"

A.) this will show people that earning Viz is not hopeless in the shortest and sweetest way possible all the while challenging said user "if Jonathan can do it I can too. It can't be that hard"  I love it when this stuff writes it's self.

5.)Make some sort of gaming event every year or something like "USER vs. STAFF" game competitions on the server, and stream it while using net play. You make the selection of the best gamers on both sides of the tracks and then you have something anyone who gets on vizzed wants to watch.

A.) this pushes people to pursue becoming good setting site records etc. So that they may be picked to participate thus furthering activity and advertisement of vizzed. That's All I've got right now. GAME ON!

Just saying this just seems like it would add a lot of lag to the site when goes to calculate all these..

1 and 2 (Mainly because roughly same answer to it) This does seem like it would be hugely abused especially once it gets added to more and more games. Mainly because people could just leave the game open for hours on end to get free Viz. Adding achievements though I don't think would be possible unless there is some magic way david knows how to detect where and what you are doing in the game and if there was a way it would have to be a different code for each game since they are all so different.

3. I just disagree unless during this time the downloaded roms get deleted after closing the window bust keeping the savefile to the game if used via savestate(which not all systems have so could cause complaints of losing data.) only reason I say this is that when you start a game formthe first it charges and downloads the rom for you to play and everytime after that I assume that because it is on your game profile it won't charge you anymore.

4. Mainly goes to what I said at the start but there is the CP system in place that sorta already does this so who knows it might be possible. So I can see this happening if it was implemented like that.

5. This sorta already happens but it really depends on user, staff, and the game. Like tecmo I know david will livestream his game that he is competing in but not all users can do this since they might not have the best internet to do so. But somewhat closer thing that might be possible is one of the users records it and uploads it to vizzed channel for all to see.

Just my opinion on these so please don't get too annoyed if something stupid just comment saying it and I will try making something more understandable if I can.

Why would I become annoyed? I'm pretty laid back and can respect the opinions of others. But, at some point you and I both know this site will expand much bigger than it already is. One of the things no one can avoid is innovation. However, I can see what you're saying about the lag. There WILL be more users. But you never know what's possible in the world of programming, which is constantly expanding. One of the biggest focuses I had though was more site achievements for non staff whether there be a reward of Viz or no reward at all. That kind of thing seems kind of entertaining if I do say so myself.

In a way, there's already a makeshift achievement system for games because you have things like high scores and 1st place ranking, and then on top of that you also have leaderbaords that show things like who has the most 1st place finishes and stuff. I think it would be a cool idea to make little achievements bases on how many total games that you have played, like 1 for 10 games, 1 for 100 games, etc.

zanderlex : well I Mean yeah that would be pretty neat actually. I do really wana see the "vizzed earned in a day" record though.

Well, in terms of official members, I think I hold the record. Back when I held the record for most Viz with 2.5 million, I went from 1 million to 2 million in one day, and that was a lot more than a record because back then there was only like 3 users who even had 1 million to begin with. Just last month there was a day where I made about 1.7 million viz, which alone is intense since only a handful of people even have that much to begin with. Also, the thing I got 1.7 mil for was broken down into two payments, with an extra 600k Viz the next day.

I doubt any other member can make that much in a day unless they go really all out on selling stuff.

HOLY FISHSTICKS That's alot of viz
