New
Added a simple naive implementation of the credits system.  The credits will be used to get access to some unique features, like changing profile appearance or highlighting forum posts.

The credits will be awarded as a gift for a donation or for getting on-site achievements (not implemented yet), most likely somehow related to the medals system but it hasn't been decided yet.
