I think personally and most probably selfishly, I would be a bit miffed, if points accumulated on the ask site, added to your SSC score, you would be penalising anymore who spends dedicated time on SSC helping people. I am not on SSC 24/7 but I try and help as much as I can. If the other site is going to be a success/failure, let it do it on its own merits without trying to gain support by linking it to the main SSC forums.
