    Thanks Bill. I appreciate the thread. This should clear up a lot of questions about the point systems.

    Will I get points for passing 3,000? I realize I am about to do that with a few more posts.

    If my estimation of TPowell's monetary value of time money is anywhere near correct, the forum will yet again be spam city.

    If the posts aren't good, posters should use the report post function. If 25 points creates spammers, we'll lower it, or lose it and have the posters and staff decide which mile stones get a points bump.

    First I`d like to thank all the punks who posted this50 times a day and fukked up a good thing. There were a handful of you but I would never single a guy out. Did not come here to make enemies, especially over this BS.

    I myself hit the 50 post a day mark. But I did it with starting threads, adding what humor I could and talking sports. There are many posters here in the same boat.

    This new system is great by me, after all there is always the forum bookie.

    You can easily spot the whales here. You wont see them involved with such pettiness on a daily basis. This points war is kinda sad. But fun and intriguing in another way

    Heres to SBR for all the contest and fun concepts

    PS..For those of you planning on creating ghost for that extra point a day...once your ghost gives the same guy several points over a period of time..it will be obvious

    I guess you can bet against your own ghost to "wash" the points

    25 pts for crossing each 1000 mark threshold? You really think there will be spamming for this?

    The old format has 15 pts per 50 posts. Huge difference.

    So we don't get pts for every 50 posts anymore. Well then they need to lower the price of the stuff as it will take 100 yrs to even reach any of these things in the store! Very unrealistic now, very disappointed. I will just give up all my pts when I get them. Wait it took 3 yrs for me to even reach 4000. Even if my kids continue to post under my name and my grandkids I still wouldn't have enough points to even buy ipod nano!

    I understand your post if you look at points as something to be gained just by posting. There are plenty points to be won though, in free contests, or saving the daily points you make by logging in and betting them in the SBR Points sportsbook which will come out in a little while. You don't even need to win the contests, just participate and you get loyalty points.

    15 points for blogging 500 words on a pick you feel really opinionated about though seems like it'd be more enjoyable for a hardcore sports gambler than simply making 50 forum posts, though. Plus your blog may help somebody else win money on your pick or prompt them to exchange info too.

    According to the clock it is a new day and I get loyalty pts. 7 a day it looks like, well I didn't get them for the 27th which is still technically today, but I already got them for tomorrow! The system here is screwed up, as I got them 2 days ago but not today, but have already gotten them tomorrow!
