s/o nesticles ??

I see what they are but what are they for? What do they do? Why do they exist?

Can I trade them in for prizes?

They seem to be a good-for-nothing mystery.

No, you cannot trade them for prizes because you do not have any.

A lot of boards have some sort of way to show long-time posters versus newbies.  The Bump apparently needs 4 different ways (bricks/nesticles/join date/number of posts/number of points) because the Bump is 4 times cooler than any other board.

And i'm 6 times cooler than someone with only one brick.  And infinitely cooler than someone with no bricks.  Simple math .

Well you are cooler than me anyway becuase you joined 2 months before me and have WAY more posts than I do.  Then again I lost my post count when they switched over to the new format.  I rocked the posts then!
