i think there's something i'm missing....
here on the TN...
whenever you post something, or reply to a post, it has like a little snipit thing about you under your pic with how many posts you've done and points and "newbie" with a little bubble thing (on most of us, not all of us)...
what are the points for? what do they mean? i'm just curious, because i have quite a few and i wana know why! lol...
random question, i know, but work is VERY dull today, and i'm bored 
Re: i think there's something i'm missing....
The little bubble thing is there when someone is actually on TN (sort of like the green dot on FB chat) If it's not there then they're not online at that time.
I don't understand the points, but I'm guessing its just something to do with how many posts you make, and how many posts you respond to.

My Blog:Through My Eyes
It's all a mystery. No one knows
And how sad is that if you had 80,000 posts?
I googled all this at one point because I could never find the answer and I still ended up with really vague answers. The best I could come up with is this...
The points at one time could be redeemed for 'prizes' I typically saw ads for diapers with so many points. I don't think it's used like that anymore so I don't know why they never got rid of it. You get so many points for starting a thread, replying to threads, and when others reply to your original posts.
As for the location stuff, again, you could change it at one point on TN but they've taken that function away too. So that is why some users have a location and others don't. I've seen people complaining about not being able to change their location because of a move or something so it's stuck the way it is regardless.
As for the ranking, I think it's just dumb. Who cares how everyone is ranked on here, it's a message board but that's just my personal opinion
I have been trying to figure out the whole point system too, and I'm stumped. I think it also has something to do with TK, since I had a whole lot of points when I came over to TN even though I had zero points.
I don't know if it has to do with posts/replying, because I have a LOT more points than some people who have a LOT more posts than I do.
I also wonder at what point you get different ranks, like newbie/gold/platinum, etc.
I guess it is all a mystery!
