    I accidently donated my PriusChat points to someone twice, and found out that you can have negative points.

    Uh-oh... how much interest does Danny charge for my debt? :(

    :crazyeyes: AAAAAAGHHHH! And now, suddenly, my negative points have gone away!

    (Really, folks -- I'm crazy, but I'm not insane.)

    So, unless Danny did a Deux Et Machina, it looks like:
    • I overcontributed points to someone, and ended up with a negative total.
    • I posted an article, which reset the count to 1.

      • So, since you can overcontribute points as much as you want, it looks like points are completely meaningless as a means of barter. (Errr.... even more meaningless than they previously were, anyway.)

        Thanks for the rabbit, though! (It's like he's wearing a little pancake beret! Zut alors!)

    Meaningless? Ha! Ye of little faith!

    Awesome pic, eg239! Made me laugh out loud when I got back from lunch, thanks!

    A little background about the rabbit:

    His name is (was) Oolong, and apparently he had a knack for balancing things. His owner called them "head-performances". Oolong still has his own website somewhere, but that one particular picture became kind of a Fark.com cliche-- people would just post that when they didn't get something.


    Funny how those negative points disappeared. If only real-life debt were like that.

    And now, I can't get it to happen again.

    No doubt I am being punished for my lack of faith in Danny, and the wisdom of the points system. This is starting to resemble one of those Children's Bible Stories I remember from my childhood.

    But Davvvvvvvyyyyyy.....
