Points?

WetRats

Will the forums blend?

That'll take some serious research. Maybe I can get a grant!

electric_mayhem

@kylemoyer, maybe. But then all the stuff bottom gets mixed, while the stuff at the top just stays there.... Blending is an art form....

DoctorDoom

Soon all points will be mine!

WetRats

Not on my watch, Doom. You give Science a bad name by mixing it with black magic!

DoctorDoom

Richaaaaaaaaaaaards!

WetRats is catching up to me. I wish I would have seen that before liking a few of his posts lol.

its a two way street. I have had 5 "Agrees" for a day or two but no badge, but then I have 1 Disagree, maybe it cancels one out?

You got the "Awesome" badge, though!

Here's another "Agree" let's see if that does it.

Even I don't really know how the point system works. It was an option to turn it on, so I did. I figured what the hell, it will give us all something to play around with.

Or we might decide that it's an unnecessary distraction, and just disable the whole thing and focus on posting.

The jury is out.

For what it's worth, I think it's fun.

And it's nice to be able to simply "Like" or "LOL" a post rather than post a reply with just an emoticon or an attaboy.

But who will save us from symbiote lethal protectors?

You know, its been fun. It kinda reinvigorated my use of the forums, (although WetRats is on a tear!) I like it!

Thanks! I got it. Here's an Awesome for you doing that. And congrats on the 25 LOLs, yowza!

And congrats on the 25 LOLs, yowza!

I'm proud of that one.

I live for the LOLs!

Appropriately enough, @David_D was the first to earn the "insightful" button.

David_D

@WetRats Aww... You're too kind.

John_Steed

Appropriately enough, @David_D was the first to earn the "insightful" button.

at least half of them I gave - I just love reading his posts :\">

I'm using those buttons quite a bit in general - I'm a giving type (unfortunately I'm being ignored most of the time around here)

WetRats

(unfortunately I'm being ignored most of the time around here)

It's because you're a Dolphins fan. People are so embarrassed for you we don't know what to say. ;)

Gosh darn it!!! I had to give you another LOL for that....

LibraryBoy

Can I buy points?

Maybe from @brydeemer, but he's always seemed pretty incorruptible to me.

I don't know. I heard that Geek Syndicate he was on.

Miraclemet

WetRats is taking this point whoring thing to a new level. The dude is dropping more names than TMZ and E! combined. ;)

Be glad I gave up my dislike button sir!

I agree with @mwhitt80 name dropping is soooo pasee

Miraclemet

Is there a page where it tells you what you have to do to get the badges?

@Justin_thebuck There's a guy at your nearest truckstop who will explain it to you in the washroom...

Seabass?

DavidAkers

In the tradition of The Nobel Prize, The MacArthur Genius Grants and Will It Blend?

I suppose so, as long as the Scientific Method is respected and not exploited for cheap entertainment value.

I'm thinking it's more in the tradition of the Darwin Awards, but to each his own. :)

I like it. As long as (a) nobody takes it too seriously and (b) it doesn't take over in threads where it has nothing to do with anything, I think it should stay.

Are you the trucker?

DoctorDoom

I think this guy is.

Don't hate on US Archer.... He only solicits aliens and the occansional TeddyBear.
Plus I need him for a story I want to pitch to Marvel.

dubbat138

I have heard Bendis say that US1 was one of his favorite marvel comics of that era.

KyleMoyer

I'm surprised he hasn't tried to bring it back yet then.
