what does points mean in our profiles?

Basically, it means how active you are on chess.com. You get a ''point'' if you comment on a forum, blog, or profile.

For example, I have been here for about 3 years, and I have 17,000 points.

thanks

wow

so then what do you do with your points?

You can't do really anything with them. Long ago, when chess.com was just made, they said that if you earned 1000 points you get this gift. It was stopped after 2 weeks, and I don't know the reason why.

Prizes!

haha

the gift was a t-shirt.

the reason it stopped appears to be that cc didn't want to encourage meaningless posts for a shirt. 

see how well that has worked?

So then they can just stop the points section before, further people wonder that what is t for

it*

thanks everyone for helping me!

hmmmmm

Post #2 would seem to be the official reason/answer; however, post #9 is absolutely the best answer . . . sigh.

now i know that 

Chess.com points are just as valuable as the points awarded on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
