Thanks but it only tells how to get points not what you can use 'em for. Never mind maybe I can ask someone on My Buddy list. Would not wanna risk an infraction. Toodles-K&K

as far as spending your credits the short answer is that it is an ongoing development. Physical prizes, access to competitions, aesthetic changes such as special fonts/colors, etc. will all become available in the future.

I defer to DB or an Admin to elaborate.
