Get PointPlace Credits using PlotSwap

Hi all,

Just a short note to tell you all that the the PlotSwap system has been adjusted. Every time you upload a plot file you are rewarded with PointPlace Credits to use for subsequent downloads. The system has also now been opened up to allow Visitors to also gain access to other peoples plot files. Of course Visitors will not have a credit balance until a file is either uploaded or Credits are purchased from the shop, 200 credits is $5 and 500 credits is $10. If you take out membership you are given an opening balance of 200 credits.

So now everyone can use the system and if you upload data you can download other peoples data using the credits that you are awarded by the upload.

The system works basically on a give and take basis so if you load some data you can take away twice as much as you loaded.

** NOTE TO ALL WHO HAVE ALREADY LOADED DATA **
I have reprocessed the entire database and awarded you with the upload credits as you would have been given. This means that if you have uploaded data in the past your PointPlace credit balance will be increased. A couple of users now have in excess of 2000 credits to use in the system. Thanks to all those users that have been using the system to date.

We will mention all this in the next newsletter and also be telling you about some of the new waypoint and route file download systems that will be available shortly.
