Coins
You earn one Piece of Eight  when somebody downloads one of the files in your profile. Once you have 8 Piece of Eight coins you earn a Doubloon .

Values
= 1 download
= 8

Doubloons will be used to purchase items from our online shop.

My Coins and Downloads do not match?

• A single IP address can increase the download count of a file once.
• A single IP address can only generate 8 coins per month.

What this means is that if somebody downloads more than 8 of your files in a month the download counter will go up but no more coins will be generated.

These rules are important to prevent abuse of the coin system.

How do I cancel a Premium Account?
To cancel your premium account follow these instructions:
Cancel Premium Account

How is my rank calculated?
Rank is calculated by the total coins you have earnt including any you have spent.

How much space can I use?
There are no space limits. However, in order to preserve diskspace we may delete files that have not been accessed for over 1 month. If you are a registered user this only applies if you are over your current diskspace allowance. Your diskspace allowance can be increased from the shop. 

How do I delete a file?
To delete a file turn on edit mode from the top navigation. Click the Edit link at the side of your file. Now scroll down and check the Confirm Delete checkbox and submit.
