Leader board and points ??

There is one of two things, that Richard was either here from the start (like me) or he has just been chosen as best answer an insane amount of times.  Also, yes, most of the people in the top ten at least DO spend A LOT of time here.  I do this, blog and play PC games... and go to college... but guess which I like doing best...\n\nAs far as your points right now, you will be somewhere in this area, http://answers.yahoo.com/rank_total;_ylt=AtpNUllRixQGILLV3NmuNkA.zKIX?cp=96&tp=250 when the Leaderboard is updated this week.\n\nAhhhh, is that a reference to the "special thank yous".  Well, no one has recieved a special thank you and to this point I simply thought it was just a pre-thank you written up in the rules for participating in Answers.  But, Yahoo (in a previous blog post) said that it is something they are working on.  I also see they have removed the color levels from the points page as well.

Yahoo made some upgrades that makes you lose two points when you ask a question but when you pick a best answer you gain two points so it should even out unless you get no answers, so you should pick mine as the best answer to get points!!!!!! lol

I went into the forum and there are alot of people complaining because their questions are not coming up.  Some of them are losing points some how, 1 person ended up with like 3000 points and said that they hadn't even come close to earning that many.  Others are not getting their points for answering questions.  Apparently they change the program or some darn thing (on the 15th) and they are still working the bugs out.  I was having a rough time trying to answer questions because the answer box wasn't coming up for me.\n\nHope this answers your questions.  They are supposed to be working on all the problems.  lol

Points aren't everything but this site is really addicting. If you don't want to lose points just don't ask questions unless you really need to know something. I agree that 5 points is too much for asking questions but I don't make the rules. I just play the game :)

The more points you have, the more you can ask questions, answer questions, rate answers and give thumbs up & down.  See here:  http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=Arm8YA88hBnZ90XowJkDXhc_zKIX

Depends on the availability of answerers and the memory space left on the server database. There a lot of Gaming for points answer that just want 2 points but provided no useful information. try checking the answer team blog :) under the blog link.
