I'm sure someone or two or 25 people are going to give me a expected response...but what is the deal with 25? am I missing something?
Replies for this Board Topic
Oh the point whores (I say that lovingly) on here try to post first b/c allegedly you get 25 points for being the first reply to a post. It seems inconsistently awarded, at best, and no one has any idea what the points are for.
ETA: Yes I posted first to get the 25 - I have like 10 days of no posts to make up for, people.

Ain't it like most people, I'm no different, we love to talk on things we don't know about.
yep - just a joke... just picking on the whole pts system, etc....
if you can't have fun with it, i guess its not worth having

Well Locust, Mount Pleasant, Concord.... LETS GOOO!
Im glad I could help you out!

Decide what to be and go be it.
I think it's just people being silly....There are debates over whether it's annoying or not. I do think it's gone the way of catchphrases like "Don't go there" or "You go, Girl" but to each his own.

I'm about 80 points shy of getting a new bird.
The 25 point thing was annoying to me but I let it go
I admit I have enjoyed the clever 25 posts

Welcome back, Heids!
We've missed you, heids!

i used to think it was annoying, but then i joined. i can TOTALLY see both sides.
but like Drew said, its all a poke at the silly point system.
Thanks guys, it's good to be back! I'm still a bit wary, but hopefully all the weirdness has passed.
BobZ, a friend of mine and I were playing "Would You Rather" and her question was "Would you rather have a giant tattoo of 'You Go Girl' up your entire right leg or be forced to eat 7 puppies?"
Needless to say, we quit playing immediately.

So...as a relative noob, what do these points get you? A cookie? Or do you just get bragging rights to the a high point total...which doesn't really mean all that much.
would you rather answer another post about "points" or french kiss a baby after they just had a full jar of baby food (Peas)?

I will answer the builder happily.
Aside from the obvious reflection of self-worth, points impart power and authority. The person with the most points is the Grand Pubah. The GP rules over the Avett nation according to whim and fancy. He/she may virtually dictate every Avett set list and name their babies.
So don't be deceived by those who tell you "points mean nothing." They obviously are afraid of competition, whilst I am not.

I'm going to go delete some of my old posts. I like my old bird better.

But their good times come with prices
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expese except their own
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
So, is anyone going to actually reveal how many points they have?
(heck no!)
I think that's the deal around here....A LOT of people think they're the G.P.
Hahahahahahaha @ that would you rather story, Heids
