What do you think of this idea?
Creating a virtual shop on forums.
I think I have an idea of how to create virtual shops- On a html page with background headers, etc., will be an image, and if possible for one requirement to happen, a shop can be set up.
You can copy the link location of the PM button of a user and so when you click the image that you want to buy in a virtual shop, you will automatically PM a user saying what you want to buy- If that won't work maybe:
A hidden user or any user with the username of the item, like: Food, will get a PM that can even be blank, and for every PM sent that you check, you do the deduction of points by personalized profiles-
It's a confusing procedure, but I hope that its clever enough to work as a virtual shop.
Example: I want to buy a cookie on the shop (Just an example) The cookie can be anything- You click the cookie out of the whole image, and it opens the link of the pm being sent to the user with the username of the item. Then you check daily, (Hard work) the user, and see if messages were sent, and do the deduction of points, money or currency of the forum, to the user who sent it.
If possible, you will be redirected to another page, saying Thank you... for purchasing..., etc. on another html page, instead of seeing you are about to send a PM.
Please think about this, and if this procedure may work, because my members and many others are asking for some virtual shop, etc., and I hope this crazy idea will work.

P.S. Hopefully, a staff member can comment if this will be able to work.

Re: Creating a virtual shop on forums.
Sounds good and I think it could work apart from the thank you bit , which would have to be done manually.

Hopefully, I am going to try to attempt this, after I finish my loads of homework and studying.
