LewdCorner Update: Activity Coins, Shop Changes, LewdCord, and Future Plans

Is it really this easy to earn OLD AC?If the goal was to avoid inflation, I don’t think it’s a good idea to just add old coins to users without any criteria, unless they become useless. But from what I’ve read, old ranks will be restored, which makes this currency valuable again, but a new question remains: what is the point of making new ranks?

If the goal is to generate a strong and sustainable economy, having two currencies with different prices doesn't make much sense to me, as they both compete with each other. The new currency will lose value, since the old currency will have the same functionality (unlocking places inaccessible to lower ranks).

LC needs a more efficient way to burn coins, such as fees and interest (interest which LC already has, but is 0% right now). It also needs to have a limited number of coins to avoid price inflation. Fees would serve as a brake on inflation.

It would be good to implement consumable items and put fees on them. I don't know which consumable products could be implemented, however, because my creativity is low at the moment.

It makes no sense to have an economy where coins cannot be freely circulated. Creating a trading system would open the door for something else, such as transaction fees, which can vary according to need.

All the value collected from fees goes to the site's "central bank," where it is redistributed to users. If there is a shortage of coins, those in charge can choose the amount they want to add or remove from the Central Bank (but I personally like how Bitcoin works, where adding or removing doesn't exist).

With an economic system generated, we still need a good way to earn coins. Mime’s initiative is excellent, but we need more activity and that would be a "job." But of course, anyone who wants to take a shortcut can donate and keep the site alive.

If the plan is to have a stable commercial system, we need to start looking at what happens in the real economy. Leaving the site as it is, inflation will return sooner or later, and if that is the real problem, everyone will lose their coins again.
 
So to clear everything up properly, yes, the old Activity Coins will be coming back.

However, they are not returning in the exact same way as before.

The old Activity Coin system will mainly be tied to the older premium-style ranks such as Members+, Elite, Legend, MVP+, and similar ranks. Those old coins will not be used for the new ranks or for the new shop items moving forward.

The reason for this is simple: I am currently restructuring the shop, the economy, and the way coins are earned from things like threads, posts, likes, and general activity. I do not want to rush this and end up destroying the economy before it even has a chance to work properly.

A broken economy helps nobody. If this is handled badly now, it will just become another mess later, so I am taking the time to rebuild it the right way.



Old Activity Coins and the Casino

When the casino returns, it will use the old Activity Coin system only.

That means:
  • Old Activity Coins will be the coins used in the casino
  • New coins will not be used in the casino
  • The old coin system will continue to serve its own purpose separately from the new economy

I also plan to add an option that allows users to convert new coins into old coins.

What I will not allow is the reverse.

There will be no old coin to new coin conversion, because that would immediately mess with the balance of the new economy and create the exact kind of inflation and abuse I am trying to avoid. The goal here is to preserve structure, not destroy it.



Community Feedback and Ideas

Now onto other business.

One of the biggest things I want right now is actual feedback from the community.

What do you all want to see added, improved, or brought to LewdCorner?

@Haywoodspartan and I are actively working on ways to improve the site and better help the community overall, and I want to hear what people actually want instead of blindly throwing random things at the wall.

That can include things such as:
  • New sections
  • New addons
  • Quality of life improvements
  • Better community features
  • Better content organization
  • Anything else you think would genuinely improve LC

If you have ideas, post them. This is the time to bring them up.



Game Images and Restoration Work

We are also slowly fixing broken images from games, but this is going to take time.

A lot of media was lost, damaged, or left broken during everything that happened, and restoring that kind of content is not something that gets solved instantly. It is being worked on, but it is going to be a gradual process.

So yes, it is being fixed.
No, it is not going to happen overnight.



LewdCord Progress

I am also working on LewdCord.

Right now it is around 60% complete, and once it is ready, it will be brought online for users. It is still in active development, but progress is being made.

You must be registered to see attachments


That is one of the bigger things currently being worked on in the background, and it will be released when it is ready.



Possible Media Section

Another idea I have been considering is creating a proper Media section using XenForo Media Gallery or something similar, so LewdCorner can have a more dedicated area for building and organizing media collections.

I think this could be a strong addition if it is done right.

The only reason I am not forcing that idea through immediately is because it has to make sense from a server storage standpoint. From what I understand, we have roughly around 8TB, but RAID and backup overhead takes a major cut out of usable space, so before that kind of feature is fully approved, it has to be discussed properly with Haywood so we know what is actually realistic.



The Goal for LewdCorner

At the end of the day, my goal is simple.

I want LewdCorner back to the level it was at in 2023 / 2024, but rebuilt with better systems, better structure, and better long-term planning.

That means keeping the spirit of old LC alive while improving it with things like:
  • The Latest Updates page
  • The Ideas page
  • A better structured economy
  • A stronger backend
  • Better support and development from both Apollo and Haywood as sysadmins

The goal is not just to bring LewdCorner back.

The goal is to bring it back better, smarter, and in a way that actually lasts.
I am still very new to this forum, but i think you guys have a good strategy for future implentations, and what you want the forum to be in the long run. So keep the good work up.
Thumbs up from me 😊
 
So I had about 98,000 coins on hand and 4,000 in the bank, before the mess. Any chance of getting them back?
 
I had over 100 million, a bit less than the deleted Guz account. Maybe 109 million.
 
Not sure if we're supposed to get old coins back some day or a message asking here is mandatory ?
I had 3.2M in vault + 400k in wallet. Barely have 1k now

On the feedback side, my main concern is : do things slowly. I know you got from past year that radical constant changes are a bad thing, but keep it in mind. Good slow work will always be better than rushed work.
 
I don't understand the fuss about coins. For me, it was just a game, nothing more.Abstract coins, abstract bonuses. Okay, someone is interested in AI pictures, but there's so much excitement about it... I just don't get it.

New coin is what the forum will be based off of, old coin is now just fuck around
 
old coin is now just fuck around
Can I have my 500.000 old coins back to fuck around?

I just noticed that the bank underwent another change. As soon as it opened, I deposited both my Old Active Coins and my Active Coins 2.0. However, I’ve realized that all my Active Coins 2.0 have disappeared.

It was only around 40 coins, a small amount for now, but my concern isn't the value itself; it's the reliability of the system. If coins disappear without explanation, it’s hard to stay motivated or trust that my progress will be safe as I accumulate more. Issues like this undermine the credibility of the site’s economy.

PS: I don't know if this change is permanent or if my points are stored in an index that is currently inaccessible. I am simply judging the situation based on what I see: a bank with only one deposit option and only my old ACs in it. Forgive me if I am mistaken.
 
So wait, is my inventory being empty intentional now? Was I supposed to lose everything with this update?

**Edit: I see the roles when I post, just not in my inventory.

Host Blackjack uses normal AC, not old AC, is that right?
 
I lost 2K which was mostly all I had, still not sure if we are supposed to post about it or message. On that I randomly don't have an option to message anymore.
 
welp, used to have 800k+ - i'd them back for some casino moneyz plx
 
now bank is back i'm still missing just over 10.000 unbanked coins and just over 1700 banked (think it was 1790)
 
Welp, at least Im not alone in losing millions of coins just like that then.
Dont even remember the amount, but 5-ish mills thereabouts. Though pretty sure it was way more - But meh, not sure what I would spend say 10mil on anyway.
I just want my friggin coins back. :confused:
Hopefully my ranks are intact at least. (edit: seems ranks are still there at least. Dunno if Im missing a rank or not but meh)

(thx JoB)
