Do points make prizes?

I don't accrue a lot of points because I'm not like some people who are posting here daily like a madman on a mission.
100 points would be easy to build up for some, and others, it would take a long time.

Maybe if they can get a sponsor to provide a prize, then you can use 5 points for one entry to try to win the prize. The prize could be something nice like a t-shirt or Status bass guitar... you know something simple but nice.
 
Metrics are the new "fun."
Fascinating, isn't it.​

The bitterness is sour in this one, young Jedi.

I had actually though about doing an experiment where I just ripped from thread to thread through the newest posts on the forum. Fast as I could yet keeping up some quality. Point being to see how quickly someone who was trying could accumulate something like 100 points.

You need to quit your day job, and get with the program.
Their are plenty of options for slacker work like taxi dispatcher (mines for sale!), watch salesman, and even physics professor.
Get cracking!

Honestly folks, the points only count for us GOLD Supporting Members, we have a whole catelog of prizes to choose from. The likes you guys receive only represent what level you could be at if you weren't so ****ing cheap. :D There, a free smile.
I got a bong for my first 300 points.:spit:
