What are "Cookies"? [OLD Topic]
Arcademan:
Okay...after a pow-wow with the other mods, we have decided this...
Nothing definitive :tongue:
However if anyone here knows any good ideas on what cookies can be used for, now's the time to present your case. Use cookies for forum benefits, online store, auction off items...we're listening :)
monkey:
they can be used to measure the girth of the earth.
moezychan:
Most often, I usually give my cookies to either cheer a person up, give as a birthday present since I su** horribly at making graphics, or if they do a wonderful job on either a fanfic, graphic or AMV. My thoughts are to use them for only rewards, and not so much as a popularity gimmick.
Some of the cookies I've received through rewards, such as stating where to find an episode download, or how to work a particular download. Also, I've received them in an attempt to cheer me up when I'm depressed. I actually hate that. It has come to the point that the new members think that the more cookies a person has, the more popular a person is and I don't want people to like me just because I have a lot of cookies. I want them to like me based on their own discretion and their own reasons.
Furthermore, I want people to know that the only reason I have so many cookies is that I am helpful or I have something to contribute. If we quit giving cookies in an attempt to cheer people up, and explain that they're more like rewards, instead of a popularity item, then the system might work. Also, for those that cannot give a proper birthday present for members, then cookies should also be given then because birthdays should contain at least one present.
I hope that this annoying ramble offered some help.

Well said, moezy-chan.
Cookies should be given as awards, not to cheer people up(I don't know where, but once someone gave another a "don't-mind-the-period-cookie"... :tard:)
They are also given out by SLi and Little Wolf in the calendar contests and other such things. The only thing that's a bit odd about it is the "Most popular" thing in the stats. But who cares anyway~...
I give my cookies to someone who has either helped me with something, or has done a pretty picture/AMV that I liked.
As for Arcademan/PixieP's question about what to do with cookies, I have no idea... :sweatdrop:
babypigggy:
I know in the beginning it seemed like i enjoyed the popularity thing, but in the stats..is it changable? cause its somewhat missleading =\
I thought you guys said, we could use cookies to purchase stuff at the store? o-O"
