Many of you have no doubt noticed (unless you're blind, in which case I am impressed you're able to use the forums) that everybody has a certain number of 'Points' and a rank to go along with it, like Newcomer, Greenhorn, etc. Here's a schedule of how you get points (you'd figure it out eventually anyway, so no reason to be mysterious about it):

• Replying to a forum topic: 2 points (max 20 per day). Note that if we remove your posts, you lose more than the # of points you got from replying, so don't post farm.
• Uploading custom avatar: 30 points - can only be gotten once.
• Update your profile/bio information: 20 points - can only be gotten once
• Sign up to be notified of EE news by email (you can do it on your profile or when you actually create your account): 40 points. If you decide you don't want to be notified anymore, you'll lose these 40 points.
• Log into the site once per day: 2 points per day.
• Play Shroomie's Search and get 2 points per day.
• Play Shroomie's Search and get top ten score and be rewarded for your ranking.
• There are other ways to get community points coming, fear not.

There are 11 ranks that community points can get you to. I'm going to just list the ranks people have gotten to thus far, and then update this post whenever I see that someone has gotten to a rank nobody else has yet.

Cool =D

Once we get passed 699 can we maybe make our own title?

So, I'm guessing we got retro points?

Nope. There are 11 levels you can reach, and they all have their own titles. I'm just not going to reveal what the ones are past 699 yet as nobody has more than 699 points.

Well, you guys were actually accruing points from the day the site launched. We just weren't displaying them at the time.

Gah, i wish i found this sooner.

I could of been acumilating points :(

Also, what do the points actually do?

Is it just bragging rights?

It would be nice if you could throw a aluminium bat at someone via wireless internet.

Would make war a hell lot easier.

And revenge would be funner aswell.

Dang, when I first just glanced at the scale I thought maybe you'd explode once you hit 700 points. I guess with your budget you haven't developed that technology yet though.

Edit: I didn't bother trying to figure it out before, but since you've posted the rundown I guess I might as well ask now, where does the odd point some people have come from? You only listed even amounts.
