Whats up with the points under the avatar?

Shoots

 

It's a rating system for you posts. Look at the bottom near the edit and quote buttons. There is also now a "rate" button. You hit that on a post you want to rate. If you like the guy's (or girl's) post you rate it accordingly. That poster then accumulates "points". These are later redeemable for free NISMO Superchargers.






J/K about the supercharger thing BTW They are REALLY redeemable for a FREE NISMO Turbo Chargers!
