Well after a long time of them being gone, I decided it's time to bring back posting incentives. Before showing you guys the rewards, let's take a minute to review how they work and why you get them. How they work is simple: When you reach a certain post count or earn a certain badge, you can select a prize to redeem. You may redeem up to two prizes per person over your entire stay at this forum. You can opt to select two low tier prizes which will be worth much less and way less cool, but on the flip side require much less work and time. The high tier prizes may take a year or more to get, but darn it are they worth it. Since we have some of the most awesome members on this forum, you're basically getting cool schwag to hang out with your friends.
Why do you earn these rewards? It's certainly not just for your post count. In fact, spamming or boosting your post count will disqualify you from this program. We want people that contribute. Goofing off is awesome and certainly has its place. Perhaps 1/10 of your posts can be silly, or 10/10 in our spam boards, but elsewhere we want you to add to the thread in some way and to progress the conversation. Some of you may be able to only post one real good contribution per day. Others will manage to post 40, and that's awesome. There is no limit to how many good posts you can make to earn your rewards.

These rewards are final and will not change at this point. If we roll around a finished version of the Fame system, these rewards will transfer over there. Limited stock rewards will be gone and replaced by something of equal value when stock runs out. Rewards may be added at any time.
There is only one rule, no spamming. This will result in disqualification from the program.
You can speed up how quickly you earn rewards![/u]
You can refer members to this site. For every 100 posts your referred member makes, you get 50 posts off of a posting requirement for any reward. Refer five members who end up posting 400 times, and that's 1000 less posts you need to make!
* Referred members will be checked on to make sure they're legitimate people
* Referred members must email contact@aethercards.com and provide your username AFTER they reach 100 posts.
* Spamming rules apply to your referred members as well.
* Referred members permanently get a 5% discount on all these rewards, giving them incentive to help you out.
That's all folks. There are absolutely no limits to how you can refer members. Get creative!
