Ethan Brizzi:

I see!  I wondered where those stars came in, is there a location that lists how you get points?  Does it really matter if you get points or not, is it like Commander Keen?

This is what Glenn said in another thread:

Glenn Setzer:

Points are a measure of your participation throughout the community.  

Participation includes:  inviting someone to join the community, forum posts, wiki answers, comments on blogs news, voting for Around the Web news, rating posts/news/video, etc.

How will points be used?

We don't want to say exactly but one example - points could play a part in the ranking algorithm for the Professional Services Directory.  Listings will rotate, but users with higher point levels may be weighted heavier.  Basically the more you participate throught the site, the more you'll be rewarded. 

I see!  well thats pretty cool, I guess the next question is can I give myself stars??  *GRIN*

Stephen Ames:

I was told there would be an MBS catalog where we could exchange them for items such as a signed Matt graham poster or a MBSLive hat!

How many points for the Matti G poster?

wow... I am suddenly no longer hungry

Stephen Ames:

Chippendale pose or pro shot?

One of each, of course.

Oh HELL yeah!  That's what I'm talking about.

(By the way, I will be auctioning 5 star ratings and new "Matt-G" watch faces that I've been developing on the sly starting tomorrow on Ebay. Step on up!)

for $2 American?

No way!  Credit repair is a good business, but this is how I plan to make my millions.

I want a cut...

Hi Matt,

How can I change my credit card info for the Premium Membership and get some information to pay in advance for 1 year? I can't find it on the web site or find the email that you sent us.

Thanks,

Hello Everyone.  Very informational site.
