Could you be a little more "specific"? ^^

I don't see the POINT of this thread. Could you be so kind as to POINT out these POINTS of which you're trying to make a POINT of?

These boards haven't had a point system in years. Points were used to purchase forum abilities similar to moderator abilities such as locking/unlocking threads, or to purchase icons that would be displayed next to your name and avatar in your posts.

Hey, Mega. Haven't seen a mod come by here and explain much of anything these days.

Yeah, it's an unfortunate truth. I can't make excuses for my absence, but I will try to be of assistance whenever possible. Thank you for your continued contribution to these boards. It is appreciated.

Absolutely. If there is any greater assistance I can provide to help revitalize the site, do let me know. Thank you, Mega.

The Points system was put in place back when the community was on the old forum software. But was never used for what it was intended for. So I am sure when the forum was upgraded the community owner decided to remove all add-ons that did not increases his profits with the website.

Mega I think I remember you. Glad to see that someone in a staff position is still checking in on the community every now and then. I think everyone else ran away to ether Aceman or CBH websites because they didn't want to deal with the "Morons" here on AO.
