2 thumbs upOk guys since we're bringing in new points system that will work per posted comments, blogs, files, we will be resetting points, and recalculating them for each member per his activity thus far. Unfortunately, it wont be full recalculation. We were able to recalculate members comments posts and blogs.
So we will all get new amount of points, and do hope that wont anger members too much? :\
The reason why we're doing this is because we had people cheat for points by setting up automated bots that would then refresh our pages continuously, giving them "tons" of points. So page traffic wont any more be calculated for points. Rather, actual participation in the community will.
We're bringing this update with a couple of others cool new features. So it's taking awhile, but we're fairly close to publishing it. Hopefully it wont take more then a week more...
We've also optimized pages for faster loading, but this also needs to be published.
Thank you,
Blogging

Ok you're fine with it. Thanks :) Quite glad to hear that. I think things would be MUCH more transparent as to who is contributing to our little community and who needs to start contributing more!! Just kidding about that second part. But anyway, it's good to know who our core members are.
Just talked with our developer:

Now, never believe a developer/coder as part of their resume is lateness. But, worst case scenario, all of the updates we've done will be going live in around a week.
Then, I'm going to push those "content replies" feature that I've mentioned in my previous blog, hence we'll know what of our posts got reply. AND I will see about making blogs improvements, and members main page improvements.
