    :lolup:

    What do these 72 points do for me? Can I cash them in for prizes or cash?

    How do I accumulate them?

    Would you please donate some for the cause? (What ever that may be?)

    i think it's 2 points when you start a forum. 1 for each post. if a forum gets popular, you get more points i guess. *shrug* it's useless. you can just give them to me if you want :) lol

    Whoever ends up with the most points wins!

    I really don’t care to put in the effort to try to win, so here are 72 more points majordude . . . whatever you can get for your 72 points, get two and share it with someone. :)

    I don’t think you get more points for starting a popular string. I started the most popular string . . . with over 900 replies (“Free Word Association†in FHOP), but my point totals have stayed in line with my postings. (am I being hosed? :x )

    On the other hand there majordude, now that you have a gross of points, you may want to guard them from being assessed a penalty from a Moderator by placing an original post in the wrong category . . . like this one! :eek:

    I'm giving you all the points I have at the moment as I like to maintain a zero balance (to the extent that's possible). :mrgreen:

    WoW majordude!

    Two moderators GAVE you all their points AND didn’t move your thread to FHOP.

    O.K., Just what kind of incriminating evidence do you have against moderatiors?

    If the same evidence will work with Danny, you can blackmail ALL the PriusChat points and be the undisputed points winner!

    Just in case, I'm giving you the rest of my points. Please don't hurt me. :|

    I believe they're similar to Drew Carey points.

    But be careful. I think once you go above a certain amount, you are assessed an APT (Alternative Point Tax), being in a higher point bracket and all.

    So do you mean the Hybrid AP Tax Credit has expired? The whole reason I bought when I did was that I didn't think it expired until the end of the month...

    By the way...

    Thanks to everyone supporting the cause!

    A few days ago I had 40-something points. Now I am phpBB-point GOLIATH!

    Fear me!

    :roll:

    That said, sigh... I am just a few points from an even 2K. (Hint, hint)

    :oops:

    But I only have . . . um, I mean only HAD six points to give you since I last gave you all two hundred sixty something points.

    Please don’t hurt me! They too are yours . . . just don’t tell everyone I also drive a GMC pick-up with a [cringe] 7.4 Liter V8 engine. I think it gets 8 MPG on a good day. :pukeright:

    (The funny part is it that every two years when I get the beast smogged, the operator thinks something is wrong with their machine . . . the readings are that low.)

    This is ridiculous! A newbie with over 2000 points? I'm going to take my balls and go home! Meh!

    MEH! I say!

    Nate

    P.S. Please donate points to me. They will be loved and nurtured, someday being converted into mods.

    If you want to donate points to [you], simply click the Donate link to the left here.

    <-------------- Donate, last line here

    I've also discovered that you can donate points to yourself ([you]) if you click this link and actually double your points. You must give *all* of your points to yourself though, in order for this to work.
