As you have probably noticed, everyone now has "credits".
These "credits" are earned by things like:
* creating threads which people reply to
* creating threads which get a good star rating
* getting positive karma
* posting
* being active on the forum a lot
* having other active people join the forum who have listed you as a referrer
Credits can also be lost by :
* having deleted posts
* having deleted threads
* having bad karma points
The idea of the credits system is that they're a little mini-game to encourage people to be more active.
In the (long-term) future I hope it might be possible to use them for lurker->newbie->regular->VIP promotions instead of post count. Or, even better, use them to allow people to have fun buying custom titles, colors for their name, etc.
Right now though, they're just a light-hearted game / experiment I'm running
