It’s graphically very pretty, at least, and I’m gonna miss the place.

      Some one had to.

      Especially the gold and plat that gave coins with them. But also, if you had Reddit premium (something else I never understood) you got a monthly supply

        I thought I read somewhere on reddit that they were handing out free credits for awards to try and artificially boost the usage to make it catch on. Then when you got things like gold, you’d get some free rewards to give away to others. I guess I assumed that’s all it ever was, as I couldn’t fathom why anyone would spend real money on that stuff. Of course, I also don’t understand people spending thousands of dollars on micro-transactions in phone games, so what do I know about human behavior…

      I’ve read comments by people saying they enjoy the feeling it gives other people when they give gold. Of course, the person I’m thinking of was long before all the fuckery with the expanse of awards.

      I got heaps through the free Premium they gave after they acquired Alien Blue. I never used them and they’ll expire but I never paid for them
