What does the point system on yahoo mean other than different levels?

Answer 3

nope just levels its all about the levels

Answer 4

it means nothing =jst something nerds do

Answer 5

It means, you can take all your points, and $5.00, and go to

Starbucks, for a "free" coffee." (joking)

Seriously. The point system "encourages" you to strive for the

next level, but in doing so. There people who become

"addictive," to where it is their "main priority." And let the

more important things go, such as family and friends. <}:-})

Answer 6

Absolutely nothing. they're worthless, you can't buy anything with them, or use them to take over the world, I've tried.
