What are these points that keep popping up on everyone's profile? Like, for me I have 83 points, and my grandmaster friend has 735 points.  So do you get more points the higher rated you are, or what?

I've wondered the same thing. When you click on it, it takes you to the forum things you've started. Do you get points for creating forum topics? :/

Avatar of AiryNeon

I think you get points for posting in forums and creating forums.

You get one point every time you post.

I'm getting one right now!

Post more and be the most active member today!

But I haven't posted 391 times. I've probably posted 20 times. Why do I have 391 points?

Avatar of TheronG12

You get one for each new comment you make. You've earned two points already in this thread.
