Points System?

Hi Ladies!

 Just curious, what's this whole point system all about? What do the points mean? Are they used for something? I am listed as a newbie and I'm not sure what levels there are, but JCam, WOW, you have a ton of points! What does it all mean?

 

Re: Points System?

  • LMAO. I have no life, be jealous :-P

    No one seems to really know what the points are for though.

  • haha, I'm totally envious! I love this board and need to dedicate more time to it! I'm going to have to get to the bottom of it or it'll absorb all my time thinking about it!

     

  • The points are, apparently, meaningless as no one has been able to figure out any rhyme or reason to them.

    Your post count is what moves you to the different posting levels/colors.  Someone correct me here if I have the levels wrong, as I'm not totally sure:

    501 posts = Bronze
    2001 posts = Silver
    6001 posts = Gold
    15,001 (?) posts = Platinum

    Oh, and then there are the Nesticles, a Nestie-created term for those little boxes you see right under your screenname.  They turn blue when you post a lot, indicating that you're a top 100 or whatever poster.  Yeah, the Nest is a little ridiculous about the number of ways they like to track (and fire up competitive juices to get you to post more since I'm sure it helps their ad rates).

  • Do you get points for replying or just if you're the OP? ?I don't know why I care but I have been wondering as I was also trying to figure out the whole points thing. ?Just curious...thanks.

    I think you get a point everytime you write either a reply or an OP. 'Cause I don't think I've written 50+ OP's yet!

  • I've been dying to figure out the points too.  I haven't been paying as close attention lately, but I think if your one of the first people to respond to a thread you get more points, all the good they do us.

  • I don;t thinkw e have eery found out what they point were all about. I was at a baby expo last Feb and there was a Bump booth and I aked them about the point and how come the "ignore" option was taken away. They had no idea what I was talking about.

    Nice.  That sounds like par for the course with The Nest.
