I have no idea, my friend. I've been a member since 2007 (but was on Bassworld or whatever it was previously for a few years prior to that)! I don't comment with any great frequency (or insight, some might say). Someone, somewhere, will know how we elevate ourselves, I'm sure.
You get points for Liking (or other emoticons) on others' posts, and for other doing the same on your posts. I think you also get points for starting threads.
