Actually, I'd expect it to be closer to 4,000.  Dirk has 3,815 posts, but I don't think he has a blog or CJ.  I don't recall seeing anything he's uploaded to the STEx, but he may get points there for comments he may have made.

Unfortunately, as owner-operator of SimTropolis I'm sure Dirk spends a lot more time maintaining the site than he gets to actuallly use it.

I wonder what the point (ha!) of this point system is... there doesn't really seem to be much of a use for it except for people to go "yay, i have so and so points"...

I could be wrong though.

That, and I'm sure Dirk derives a great amount of fiendish pleasure from watching us try to figure it out.  Remember, he can change the formula any time we get too close

Wait a little longer and a pop-up appears, explaining why you got so many points. I haven't noticed that '?' before though.

Regards,

There should be Trixies for most earned points per year or something. And I know with all the scripting of this counter to be embedded into the points system maybe a hassle. But it's just a consideration not to consider

[Kryptowhite 9]

Imagine how boring Simtropolis would be if we didn't have Duke here to point out all the strange little oddities of this site

Will there ever be a karma-like system?

Yea, you wouldn't need to worry about having low karma, you're fine. Just wondering, because there is a karma-like system in thr CJs.

Why does everyone always have 1 point in the CJ comment section?

[Vigilante1987 180]

You automatically get a point for making a comment. You get more if other users rate it thumbs up.

It means you can run in the Shamrock Marathon.   Except that it's over so you can't.

[Heblem 600]

well i got 1,000 points in a week... dunno why... i was around 4,000, and i don't use to post at forums often

[AspieGamer13 11]

I'm offline for about 3 years and come back to apx 200 points (exact number at time of post is 191)

I plan to be more active in the near future

just as soon as I get some stuff done (see current sig for "stuff")

Every STEX upload gives a lot of points and you've been uploading your great gas stations lately...

[Keegan V50 15]

Hmmm,ive got 1,028 Points and im happy to be above the 1K mark

[simcity4fan12 13]

I got 3,226 points. How many does it take to change my smiley face and to change the "Member in Good Standing" thing?

[Vigilante1987 180]

Since (as far as I know) the only other option is to not be a Member in Good Standing (that is, banned) you probably don't want that to change.

[thepokemaniac 18]

Hmm, I only have ~300-something posts, but I have like 1,081 points. Maybe its my CJs?

[SomeRandomAmerican 5]

894. Personally, I'm surprised it wasn't lower.

[Chptrk 86]

Just reached this today!

On a side note, I think that big grin smiley comes with 5000 points or higher. If it's still around, that it.

[thepokemaniac 18]

Hmm, I have more points than chptrk? Hehe... But I also had a question: sometimes I login, and I have sometimes as many as 40 new points. Why is that?

[Vigilante1987 180]

Probably from your cj's.

[Livin in Sim 83]

Heads up, incoming thread...

[Brandon8181 0]

Could anyone please explain to me what those "points" are that I'm racking up....  the ones up in the top right hand corner of my screen that continue to go up?

Sorry to bother, but I was just curious....

[Larks2242 251]

The points are determined by how much you contribute to simtropolis such as fourms CJs ect.

[GlobexCo 33]

1 post = 1 point

Very siply

win a competion? (also MOTM)? = 1 medal

[SomeRandomAmerican 5]

Well it doesn't seem that one post is one point...I've gotten as many as three per post...
