Way back in the beginning, to make the site more attractive to those interested in Microsoft's SQL Server the founders decided to award points to the site users. 1 point for each forum posting, and additional points for answering the question of the day. Some one (Steve is the only one who knows whom) decided to add a touch by creating categories of points awarded and assigned fun, but descriptive names at various point levels. The latest listing that I could find is displayed below. To earn the title "Say Hey Kid" you have earned at least 661 points, through correctly answering QODs plus postings.
