points in chess.com

When I click on my name, I see, among other items, the number of points I have accumulated. What are these points used for and where do they come from?

Thanks.

Points are a measure of how active a member you are.  Every time you post something you get a point.  Way back when you could get a free Tshirt, but now they're useless.

Thanks. So I guess they are pointless points.

Baddogno you described their use and then said they are useless. Strange. 

I would love a cc t-shirt

Some people should get to add all their sockpuppet points. 

I want a tshirt, how many points did you used to need?

Same same 

I would actually pay good money for a cc t-shirt, if only there were a way. 

The option of buying a tshirt is gone now

Bring it back!

Wish they would...
