- The points have 2 meanings. Originally this was going to be a pay site. It was going to be $20 a year. But it was not about the money. We were even going to let you "pay" in comics. It was also decided that we should reward users for helping with the site and contributing to improve everyones comic experience.
So for every 50 points that you earn, it is another free day. Since MyComicPile.com is free (who knows way down the road), your renewal date keeps getting pushed back. If your renewal date comes up now, it is just automatically extended for another year.
The second reason for the points is along the lines of rewards. The goal is next summer to have an auction where users that have earned points can bid on items. Items will be statues, busts, limited edition comics, mini-series, variants, etc. Just like eBay, the one with the most points wins.
There will be more posts later on as we get closer.Favorite Quote: "You're not just some guy in a bat costume are you? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! - Justice League #1, 2011" Hunting for (mainly reprints/variants) - Please help! - See My Profile

- You can now visit the Auction thread to see what you can spend your hard earned points on!

- Might be a silly question, but I just wanted to make sure I understood clearly. Is actual payment in auction points or money?

Both you use your points first then money.

- lets say you have $5 worth of points but you bid on something for $7 you would use your points and then have to pay $2 real money. like me for example last year i only had a few points but spent real money to win some bigger ticket items. btw i love that daredevil hardcover.

- So what is the determination between points and money? How much money is say for example 40,000 points? Did you also have to pay for shipping?
