I tried to figure it out. It's probably not hard, I'm just a little dense :)

How did I get points to begin with? I put some in the bank anyway, because I'm such a good investor and all. LOL

I kept some out (500) to buy a lottery ticket, but I get a message that I don't have enough points??

I'm not doing something right, so I need someone to splain it :help:

you get .02 for viewing a post, 5 for replying to a thread, and 2 for creating one. You can go to the shop and buy a new name color, lottery ticket, play the arcade, and increase post count and buy gifts and ribbons for causes.

oh, and the reason it said you dont have enough is theres tax, which i think is kinda stupid. You also get interest for points in the bank.

Ahhhh, how do you suppose "they" know if we are viewing a post or not. :)

Or is this ANOTHER infringement on our privacy. LOL Bush must be behind this.

Oh, you mentioned Bush. Is it true the U.S gov.t can pay to hear our phone calls from north America (u.s, canada, mexico)? Someone told me that. Its kinda weird to think someone would do that.

No. The Supreme Court slapped Bush's hands and let him know it was unconstitutional.

Holbritter, another thing you can do with points is change the way your user name looks like the coloring in mine. The last forum I was in gave you heck if you posted too much. Who ever heard of a successful forum that was INACTIVE. sheesh

They were probably referring comments like:

jk :)

Holbritter - You can do all kinds of things with the points you get. Just click on shop and you'll see all the options. In fact, I recently removed f1oored's avatar because I was going to steal his to make a joke. Unfortunately, I forgot to copy it before I deleted it, so I'm still stuck with this one :)
