What do the points do?

As a newb to internet forums, I have been wondering what, if anything, the points do? If anyone can tell me, it would be much appreciated!

"This may shock you, but not everything in the bible is true." The only true statement ever to be uttered by Jean Chauvinism, sociopathic emotional terrorist.
"A Boss in Heaven is the best excuse for a boss on earth, therefore If God did exist, he would have to be abolished." Mikhail Bakunin
"The means in which you take,
dictate the ends in which you find yourself."
"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme leadership derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony!"
No Gods, No Masters!

The points are an underlying characteristic of

 

the software template on which the site is built. They could have a meaning but in this case they don't. I think it's fair to say the more points a person has the more active they are/have been over a long period of time.

Anyone with more than about 20,000 points is an apostle. Whoever reaches 100,000 is the messiah, come sliding down from heaven on his ass.

"Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal. The rest is poetry, imagination." Max Planck

“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

Circle assignments.

Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. --Mark Skousen
