Just a note that we'll be actively going through the Off-Topics forums and moderating threads which don't generate any useful discussion.  Posting new topics increases community point scores but if they're deleted, the penalty can be greater than the initial gains.  This is also a reminder that forum post credits are capped at a daily maximum.  Meaning people do not get points for starting more than 5 topics per day.  See our community point break-down here for info on how activities are credited: Community Point Help
