WTF do these points and various levels get us? Do we win a baby if we accumulate enough of them?

    Ha!  It should be like at a carnival -- if you get enough points, you get to take home a stuffed animal at least.

    I sort of enjoy how rediculous my "joined on" date looks next to the word "newbie".  I was actually on here before they came up with this crazy system and it zeroed out all my posts anyway.

    I can kind of understand the point of having the number of posts, but why have points if they don't count for anything.  I wonder if they ever did count for something in the past.  If not, seems silly and arbitrary.

    Yes

    Yes

    The points we never useful for anything.  I asked the admins a few months ago if they had plans for the points.  They said the points are just intended to be a gauge for how active the person is on the boards.  I think post count is sufficient enough for that, but they see usefulness in their system.
