In the beginning, Community Credit was fun.  Make some blog posts, answer some forum questions, and get a geeky prize (don't judge me, swag whores).  After a while, some folks figured out how to game the system a little, and some seriously major participants also signed up.  Not sure how some of these people got all those points.  It wasn't fun, because you couldn't even come close.

Recently, David has made some changes.  Some of the top contributors were promoted to the Hall of Fame, point values have been changed, and a negative curve is applied to winners for two months.  Suddenly, stupid prizes are readily available again.  I'm awaiting my 10th place from July.  Woot!
