Earning Points on this site

What is the best way to earn points on this site? I currently have 136 and have been playing on this site since March. I am guessing the best way is to take part in tournaments and finish within the top three or four which rewards points. I also write a chess blog and comment on forum posts. Some members have like 900 points and some of those have only been on the site aslong as me. Can you get points by participating in vote chess etc?

Tournament points are different than member points.

Do you not get member points awarded if you do well in tournaments then???? How do some members have 3000 member points?

Indeed! If you need to earn these valuable points urgently, you could politely ask some of these members with over 10,000 member points.

No I don't want them urgently just wandered how some members get some many points. They must be very active! Thanks for your help

Members with a couple thousand member points are very active. All mine are from blog posts (only 7 or 8) and a healthy chunk of (non-spam) forum posts.

I will gladly trade my member points for rating points at an exchange rate of 5 to 1.

 How did you get so many member points? Do you just comment on forums etc and post blogs?

It's about 4-5 comments a day without a break for 2 years. It's not all that hard...
