Ackers are/were accyweb money, the more posts you made the more you earned, the more you earned the more goodies you could buy from the accyweb shop.
Most people would use their ackers to purchase things for their virtual petz, Roy removed the stores and the bank and sent everyones petz on holiday to the animal sanctuary the last time he upgraded the software, with the promise that they would return shortly, (that, must be about 18 months ago now!), one of the many other things that could be done was to steal the ackers from the trusting and gullible souls that didn't put their Ackers into the bank.
You can learn alot more about both Ackers and petz if you do a search for the threads about them.
