You've done well to get so many points from a smaller number of posts than mine. I'd love to shove off this Addict tag but I can't find the way to accumulate more points, more quickly. I fear that the points system will drop off the new platform and I'll be stuck as an Addict for life.

I fear that the points system will drop off the new platform.

Will it really? Then how will people be ranked?

 

[iceclock]

who said there point systems gonna be dropped. it motivate people to help more and gives u a nice prestige and boost, doubt there gonna drop the points, thats one thing that makes toms special. and rewarding. the points, the people also but no other place really gives u points for helping, feels good

 

[iceclock]

being more active, getting best answers, posting alot ;D

 

[Saga Lout]

Don't take my word for points being dropped but I'm certain I read it somewhere in the Beta threads.

 

[iceclock]

find that link. i gotta see this, gonna make alot mad if it happens.

The points are going, but best answers are not. Best answers generally require you to post something useful to receive them. Points can be attained by simply posting pointless comments prolifically and don't really give an indication of how knowledgeable you are.

EDIT: See Joe's response to your post in the other thread.

From Joe's write-up in response to your question in another place, iceclock, it looks like we're getting a better system. We shall see soon enough and hopefully (for me, anyway) I may shake off this awful Addict tag!

How did you manage to get there so fast?

 

[iceclock]

skill, and dedication

 

[The Stealthinator]

I guess also that much time to be able to spend on the forums...

 

[iceclock]

hey we all choose where we put are time, and im in the process of becoming an it tech so this is a warm up of things to come.

 

[The Stealthinator]

I guess it is, but I wouldn't get that much free time except maybe over the holidays to be able to rack up 34000 points in a month. School work does get in the way.

 

[iceclock]

yep, shur does.

 

[jpishgar]

We're expecting the new forum platform will have more speedy reputation updating.

 

[iceclock]

thanks. any time line for new change platform?
