Did I miss something? New user profiles?
Is there a thread somewhere explaining the new profiles for members? I have just recently noticed these changes and I'm not quite sure what they all mean...
These features are all new, correct?
Award Showcase?
Last Achievements?
Experience?
Activities?
What is the point system?

What is the point system?

I am still trying to understand it. Do you know why you lost points? I have lost some, too. And what is the incentive to earn all these points? Just to generate more traffic on the forums? Will the site become bombarded with less-than-quality posts now by members just looking to earn points?
Excuse my ignorance. I have been trying to figure this out, , but I'm not doing too well...

OK, in a nutshell it may be confusing.
This is the current list of awards and what category/field was chosen for them
MyG37 - Awards

I think I lost points for bringing back old threads?? There is a top 10 list for all the categories/fields.

The categories for points are divided into posts, threads, user and misc
Check here for more details
MyG37 - Statistics
Points for User Points for threads Points for Posts Points for Misc
So there are a bunch sections for each category etc..
so taking Points for user, there may be 10 categories under it
e.g. Points for User (which may be based on how long you've been signed up on the forum)
e.g. Filled profile - if you filled in all the fields in your profile, there is a specific point per field, maybe 2x points, so if there are 10 fields and you just did 2, you only get 4 points total.
e.g.
Visitormessages - based on the number of visitor messages, this has a point system per visitor message. it could be 0.75 for example so if you have 10 visitor messages, then it's 10x 0.75 to calculate the points.
e.g. friends.- There are points for friends. each friend is worth 3 exp points. So I have 5 friends, so I get 15 points.
details are here
MyG37 - Earn Points
What's confusing is the activities screen where there is no detail for where points may be lost

it seems it's an automatic running tally of the awards.
So you give up an award when someone gets a higher stat than you.
So gravedigger aware (which for some reason is on the list of awards you don't want to get, I think that's what happens when you actually use the search feature and find the question you wanted to ask, but I ) So maybe if user 1 brings up a thread 6 months ago, they get the award, and in the same day if someone brings up a thread 8 months old, user 1 gives up the award and user 2 gets the award.
There is a top 3 list for bringing up the most threads
e.g.
Infracted
You don't want these awards.

Yeah, a lot of the stuff makes sense. There is just a lot of information. I think it will take me some time to fully understand and realize what everything does and the implications. Right now I think it seems pretty cool. It could end up being an interesting addition to the site. We'll see...

hey Everyone,
Not sure how this was turned on, we're still tweaking the points system, which requires recalculations each time an adjustment is made, hence the rabidly changing scores.
We're also still working out a couple of other small kinks. It's our hope to launch this fully by the end of the year however.
Based on what you've seen, any feedback so far?
