Points Note Comment Count

Brian

This has been happening for a couple weeks now and I've gotten enough email about it to provide a front-page explanation: points have started to expire, which they do after a year. This is not functionality I put in intentionally but I might keep it around since it seems to make sense. But that's what's happening. If you get a snarky email about losing super powers but haven't done anything to warrant it, that's what's going on.

A comment revamp is coming and I don't want to touch anything on the site until that's up and going, so please bear with us.

to the "MEMBERS ONLY" thread in the User-Curated Hall of Fame.

That said, I'm a little concerned about the negs I'm receiving, given the relatively low number of MGoPoints I have.

Oh man, I'm going to have to be as insightful and funny as I was last year?

Actually that won't be too hard.  Hooray for setting the bar low!

I was planning on resting on my laurels now that I have the 500 points required to start threads even after Brian locks down mgoboard after losses.

Just take them away after a while... and he said no politics... psh!

In all honesty though, wasn't this one of the suggestions in the board about making mgoblog better though?  I thought I remember someone suggesting that maybe mgopoints expire after a set time period, might not be all bad.

Given the news, I hope the next site update includes point redemption.

1000 points = Hearty thank you email

5000 points = Hearty thank you email

10000 points = Hearty thank you email

30000 points = Megan Fox

Good luck Magnus!  You're in a race against time.

There should be an archive to store all your old points so that when we are all undoubtedly here 35 years from now blogging in our flying cars and dome cities, we can see how many points were earned over  the lifetime at MgoBlog.

-1 to me for making a Tom Petty reference in a post on this blog.

EDIT:  By the way, I just found out that watching an old 80s Tom Petty music video with my computer's sound muted is the single least interesting thing I think I have ever seen.  It's like watching Division II football in mid-December before bowls begin, except there's not even any football.
