Meta: Are MGoPoints working? Posbang, bitches!
Foilks, my MGoPoint total went up. Are MGoPoints working? Can we once again save up MGoPoints for discounts on Tesla automobiles, Ruth's Chris Steak House dinner for 12, UofM Football season tickets, mulch, koala eradication starter kits and hand sanitizer?
Time for a posbsang!
"Folks" that is.
WTF? Now my points aren't going up commensurate with my MGoBrethens' upvotes of my posts.
I've been at 21488 for months. Checked the site this evening and had 21490.
Points should be working, right? Nope.
The interwebs gods are capricious and arbitrary. A glimmer of hope was provided and then crushed under a steel-shod virtual boot.
Fuck.
Weird.
I upvoted you...no points.
Then I downvoted you...no points lost by you, but my total went down by one.
Then again I upvoted you...and still no change to your points.
Meanwhile, my points are increasing as others upvote me on this thread.
Hmmm...mods downvoting me. Not a good omen.
I'll try the downvoting thing. Just have to find a Mean Joe post.
It looks like some aspect is working. It looks like I got a couple of points for posting.
No change for up and down voting for me.
Downvoted myself and nothing changed. Downvoted MGoHillbilly and nothing changed. Upvoted MGoHillbilly and nothing changed. Wasn't picking on MGoHillbilly as I like what he posts.
Downvote me.
I no longer care....
Last time the points worked I used most of them to join The Lassie and Timmy Fan Club...
Yay us!
Fuckin right!
The new mod came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And of course he is all out of bubble gum.
I really shouldn't take credit for the points working, but...what the hell, WHY NOT!!!
Credit is like sex: Take it when you can get it.
Absolutely!
Are you sure it's legal? I wouldn't want to be accused of taking part in a rumble.
Points?
We don't need no stinking points!
So many funny moments from the line scene.

What's a "POSBANG"?
(edit: also, what's a "posbsang"?)
It's where you find the biggest piece of shit (POS) on the thread and bang them off to Bolivia = POSBANG
Well, the usefulness of a posbang seems to be an anachronism left over from a previous incarnation of this site.
foilks and posbsang.
I was typing fast worried somebody else would notice and post first. Nothing worse than being the second person to post the same thing.
Only thing worse than being second is third.

I heard Keith Jackson is coming out of retirement. Can't wait.
Did Keith Jackson come back to life?
Wut? He's alive and well. He was playing golf with Nelson Mandela just last weekend.
My understanding is that he's back, and he's bringing his own canned gravy.
Roll that beautiful bean footage!
It's about goddamn time!!!!
Let's bang out some points
Posbang meets point total at 8:05. If you want to Posbang, that’s fine. If you don’t, that’s fine too.
I have no clue what that means, but this is a posbang and you earned my upvote.
It's Bo.
Exact quote.
Damned straight.
Does this mean I can’t Neg Bang everyone now?
You can negbang to the tune of 1449 times and still have the 15000 MGoPoints needed the koala eradication starter kit.

Don't think they work now.
I want to go way back where I could rate someone “+1 insightful,” only 90s kids remember that.
I'll never forget that Manningham catch.
I was screaming at the television. Wonderful end to a game.
That is the last Michigan game I was able to attend live.
I was stuck at 70, one number too many or 350 too few
That is interesting. Our server side is trying some things related to the caching issue.
Please encourage them to keep at it. I'm 5% happier when MGoPoints are working.
I'd like to think yes, but maybe that's not a good idea. Some of us may have been sent to a landlocked country in South America (we don't know it) and it will only manifest the change if the points are retroactively fixed?
I went through and upvoted everybody who posted on this thread. Nobody's point totals changed.
Oh well, I guess I'll go tune my trombone.
And I got a double post.
I lost a point despite not posting for a bit. Someone must have been saving that one.
Eh, same!
