However, I think that apart from the 10k tools, most things are achieved pretty easily if you put in some effort. | |

The way the points are set up now seems to have been fairly well considered as it keeps offering bigger carrots as the user progresses. Using this approach, I believe, ensures that the majority of users will feel that they've got some sort of a vested interest in this web site since they've been contributing to it. | |
