That's called incentive. It's so users have incentive to upgrade. Cyberjoureurs utilize irritation for incentive, much like Microsoft does with their "Genuine Advantage" scheme. There are other equally effective means, but that is the one they chose for their server. I don't think we have much play with it.

This is called a challenge. You do not like being new because you have nothing. The challenge is to get stuff.

You have only offered a process for deriving ideas of my own, I am still very happy to hear yours. But don't forget that I did not simply walk on GK one day and suddenly become staff - I had to play, and that was long before there were as many nice people as there are now. Things were much less "friendly" back then.
