Not a clue why you can't just ask and answer questions as you please. Do you win something? That's goofy. Oh well, i can't answer anymore questions. But i could ask one. So there you have it. What's the point of the points?

Hi again,
Forgive me this but it's the only way I could re-connect. TY for the "bests" and "Touche"...smile. I did some research too, and I'm sure you'll "get it"
Now...as for the points, here and on other similar sites, you're correct in your thinking. For some it's a place to learn and/or teach (much as you and I did today, :)...For others it's a way to kill time or gain attention. For some it may be an ego booster? In a general sense it may be a way to kill time, but so often I consider..."Couldn't I be doing something else?"
I personally enjoy it, even with the thumbs down crowd who apparently want to remain ANON. I know what I know, and offer it to others, based on a lot of years of experience. It's opinions, preferences, choices, and decisions here, and I visit when I can.
Regarding some of the inane questions... I usually avoid answering them, though to the asker they may seem quite valid. An example might be, "What color should I paint my room?" There can't possibly be a right or wrong answer to a Q like that.
The POINT,,,since ya brought it up...smiles. Yahoo owns this site among others, supported by sponsers, and dependant on "Hits" That isn't a bad thing, just fact. The more Hits here, the more exposure for Yahoo and sponsers, and possibly a larger base of "Hitters." Points are an "incentive", especially for a newbie to keep coming back...and often lead to a habit, but can lead to the most subtle "Thank you's"; which everyone really enjoys.
Hope to see you involved again soon.
Steven Wolf
BTW do you have a site available to check out the masks? I'd like to chat about that sometime.

what number factors you're allowed each and every day relies upon on your weight. this is what's indexed interior the patents: under a hundred and fifty kilos = 18-25 factors a hundred and fifty to 174 kilos = 20-27 factors a hundred seventy five to 199 kilos = 22-29 factors 200 to 224 kilos = 24-31 factors 225 to 250 kilos = 26-33 factors Over 250 kilos = 28-35 factors This differs interior the patent as against the quantity that they supply us interior the type. there is an intricate Flex factor equipment which may be adapted to your desires by your chief. the way it works interior the type: under a hundred and fifty kilos = 20 factors a hundred and fifty to 174 kilos = 22 factors a hundred seventy five to 199 kilos = 24 factors 200 to 224 kilos = 26 factors 225 to 250 kilos = 28 factors 250 to 275 kilos = 30 factors 275 to 3 hundred kilos = 31 factors 3 hundred to 325 kilos = 32 factors 325 to 350 kilos = 33 factors Over 350 kilos = 34 factors

There is no point to it. I only gain points so I have more to spend on asking questions. That's the fun part. Sometimes the Q and A are funny or interesting from others, but not very often.

Well sometimes you can get prizes depending on how many points you have accumulated. I got this rubber decal for my car. I think they give out stuff once in a while. So that why I keep answering Q's. :)

pretty pointless, actually, though I did get a little magnet for my car. Just gives you the warm fuzzies and justifies you using up all that otherwise wasted time you could be reading a book, taking a walk, calling a friend....

The point system here drives the urge of the people to answer more.... and ask less

i think because it cuts down on the spam u need points to ask question and you r only allowed to answer a certain amount on each level. it sucks big time

I'm not quite sure either, but it sure makes me feel good about myself knowing that I'm worth POINTS!!!!

To show how active you are, and to encourage answering questions. (they have a note about it somewhere)
