Re: Curious about the points
They really don't mean anything to be perfectly honest. I think sometime down the road, I may use the points system in conjunction with additional goodies such as access to hidden forums, photo gallery access, etc. For now the points are just a measure of how much time you spend on the site and what you do with that time.
You accumulate points every time you do something on this site such as:
Recommendation to a Friend: 250 points
News Sent to a Friend: 250 points
News Submission Published: 250 points
News Article Rating: 50 points
Page View: 2 points
Visit to a WebLink: 100 points

News Comment: 50 points
I will likely scale these points down when we move but I left all values high for the past while since no ones points were transferred over to this database in our last site move.
