What's the ranking shop?

Hello everyone!
When you click on a user's name, on the bottom it says "Ranking Shop." I clicked on shop, and it took me to a page that said that this feature is currently disabled.
1) Why is it disabled?
2) What was the shop?

I *think* the rank shop is a vbulletin feature to use a vbulletin points system to sell items. I can't be sure because we didn't look at it closely when we implemented vbulletin.

oh. so did you ever have it on wrox.com, or is it just a button that was never implemented.
It probably was what you said, since on another site that uses vbulletin you earn fake gold for your posts and threads, and you can spend this gold at the shop to buy items, such as a name change, userpage, badge, title, icons...
