| When I was a member a couple years ago, it seemed like I wrote a lot of posts that got 50 points. Seems like you have to write more to get the same number of points. Is it just me, or have points gotten more expensive? |

I don't know and I didn't noticed any change. What I feel is that the minimum now is 1 PBPP. Some time ago if you posted a few characters (for example 5 characters) you earned 2 PBPP. Now it's possible to earn 1. Well, I'm not 100% sure  I think there was a minimum of 2

Yeah about two years ago you could get 75pbpp for a post without a lot of trouble. Now at the other hand its harder. But back then everybody had to get 2000 pbpp. But the forum was also a bit more active.

That's interesting. I think the most I ever got for a post was 52 or something like that -- and I got that much for lots of posts. I can be long winded, which is not necessarily a virtue. But I guess if you've been posting consistently for quite a while, you must know what you're talking about.
Thanks

I guess they want to limit this way to discourage people from writing extremely long posts (essays) in one post and getting like 100+ PBPPs like last time. |

| But it maybe encourages people to write two shorter posts for 110 credits? I don't know. |

Two shorter posts? mmm, imposible. Do you know how many characters you need to get 55? I don't know how many they are but I am sure they are a lot!. Nowadays 55 means a huge post which can be difficut to read (not difficult but some people is lazy). More than 55 is the Bible... impossible to read. I agree with the limit
