Yeah, the points you see next to your name are strictly connected to your activity level on the forum. I don't know if anyone has ever figured out how they work.  Too bad they aren't related to our story. I'd have almost 4,000 points! LOL! ------------- https://forums.nycmidnight.com/topic67229_post715602.html#715602" rel="nofollow - SSC R1: Remember Us, Remember Everything |

They are - you get points for each interaction (posts, comments, if people have "thanked" you for something. It just indicates how active you are on here. You'll see descriptions too, like Newbie, Regular, Addict, and Black Belt. Again, just represents your level of activity on the forums. And now I am going to thank you both for your post and give you each another point. :) ------------- lisafoxiswriting.com Core Truths and Passageways: Short Speculative Fiction now available wherever books are sold |

I always think that the points show how much people love me. I need lots of affirmation. ------------- This is not the signature you are looking for. |
