Coffee Shop Discussions

1000GPs will get you ONE coffee .

For every coffee you buy, you earn yourself the eligibility to make FOUR comments on any of the discussion topics featured here: "Invalid Item"  or "Invalid Item" 
If you buy a coffee for someone else, they are eligible to comment not you (unless you buy yourself one too, of course!)
Obviously, if you buy TEN coffees that is FORTY comments you can make ... you can go wild!

Once you have bought your coffee you may start discussing. This is done by commenting on the Discussion Points, just like you would a blog post!

If you make too many comments or comment without paying (unless you're a full member) there WILL be a forfeit

Please keep your comments to the same content rating as the discussion book you are using (you'll notice there are two)

Random prizes will be given out to individual people every so often. Prizes may include: points, MBs, Awardicons, GPs, review packages... etc.
