The points thing started, I believe, with a poster named NihilusZero. He'd award points if someone said something that struck him as worthwhile. This sparked something of a craze, and people began putting their NZ point totals in their sig files. Now and then, NZ would do a tally of who had scored how many points.

During the heydey of point-mania, fluffypet began awarding points in Random Stupidity threads, generally when someone had said something kind. I like to think she was gently mocking the whole points cult, but I don't know this for sure.

In case you couldn't tell, I kinda rolled my eyes at the whole phenomenon. It amazed me that grown people placed so much stock in points awared by strangers on the Internet.

Oh no, that's never a good thing! Not too serious I hope? I'll send some light her way.

Kind of like that whole what you give, is what you get, times 10.
