Everyone needs to get points the way everyone else has. You need to post meaningful replies to topics, start your own topics, and try to make some downloads to share. I don't mean to be rude, but there are a lot of people who give a good effort to earning points, not expecting to get them for doing nothing. I have shared, and will gladly share with those who I know are active in the forums and have made an effort to earn as much as they can. Many people have earned 10,000 points in less than a month. Besides, everyone will need points soon when the new system is implemented.
This is a great point. I have seen a couple of people write thank you post in different topics, one after the other (this happens specially with websites posts) or putting in individual posts things that could have been posted in one post giving a link. I understand everyoneone wants to get points for the discounts, but there are people that work hard to get their points with good info and spending a lot of time doing presentations and reasearch. (I can tell by the quality of the presentation). I'm just lazy and like to see all the great info people have found
Just like nhockaday, I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I think most people would agree
