I think the IB Store is a waste of time. But that's just my opinion.
You get pretend money, put it in a pretend bank, buy pretend products, and use pretend credit cards. If you think about it, then it's very similar to a children't "store" game, where they draw money on paper then give it to the 'cashier', and buy items that you already own at your house.
It seems to me that the IB store was created for forums that were fundamentally boring, and people wanted something to do while on them. Our forum is not the same. It is about Outpost2, the best game on earth. There are many topics you could discuss with interest, and not get bored.
I'm not saying that you should remove the IB Store, but I think that spending so much time worrying about it's correctness, ease of use, or enjoyability. It's there, and if you're bored, go and fool with it. If it's too basic for you, then go and post some thoughtful, involved post that will keep you busy pondering the meaning of things.
I mean no offense, and I intend to sound calm, not angry or ranting. Well, that's all I have to say. Thanks for listening ^_^
