    Why does it cost so much for a program? It will take forever to reach 200 points/post on these inactive boards.

    Stay a while. they are not inactive

    Go to the main forum index and scroll to the bottom.

    You will see a list of people online now and who has been on the whole day.

    The points are there for a reason. If you simply came got the program you needed then you would not see the good in the community and leave.

    If you are active you will be there in no time

    From what I've seen, they are inactive. Most threads are locked and all new post are made by the same person. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a point system, i'm saying they need to re-evaluate it. The cost should be based on how active the boards are. I mean 200 points/post for the way its going now would take months to reach assuming you don't spam.

    Topics are locked because we'd like to keep all the topics "current", after all... what's the point of commenting on the last Super Bowl?

    there are exception made in the program discussions forum... as long as the post adds to a topic.


    as for activity?

    Number of posts: 101199
    Posts per day: 585.62
    Number of topics: 7908
    Topics per day: 45.76

    There's a lot to talk about. Your fingers will wear out in no time!

    It just takes patience!

    There's also points bonuses for level 1 (30) and level 2 (100)

    Are those even accurate? Are there boards I can't see? I'm looking around right now and I doubt there were 500 posts today, btw, it says I can't give you rep. It says don't try to fool the system, one more try and I will have minus 500. What did I do wrong? All I did was press +.

    don't worry about the rep... it's just because you haven't earned enough rep to give.

    As for hidden boards... yes... there are a few and as your posts increase... they'll open up to you.

    As for accuracy... that was pasted directly from our stats board.

    Do they count the post from the spam board? I just been there and it seems all the post are coming from there.

    It is not based on your reputation but your post count. Level 1 is 125(I think) Level 2 is 300 and Level 3 is a special status after you reach level 2 you are able to submit an application and each month the current level 3's vote and the top 2 are awarded Level 3

    Ok then, here is proof that you are wrong ;) and that the boards are actually very active.

    I am level 2, I have 450 points. I have been a member for 10 days.

    The point system works fine, besides, the programs arent that great, they are a wonderful addition sure, but its nice to have a community where you can talk about how crap TNT are at their job :p

    It's not always about the programs. I barely use my programs anymore only on weekends because i only come on 3 hours on weekdays.
    I agree if you are active you would get to 200 posts in no time. [=

    Are you kidding me? This place is very active, it wont take you any time at all to get 200 points. It can be done in a week easily if your active, but don't go spamming everywhere.

    Reaching that amount of post is easy for you guys to say because you all are already there. You don't have to worry about me spamming because i'm not that type of person. Besides, I don't go on the computer for very long anyways.
