The criteria for earning weekly forum bonus points has changed from making a post to viewing a post. It is no longer necessary for players to post in bonus threads, but we will leave an open thread for this on General Talk for those who want it.
They just like yelling bonus. The bonus makes them feel good. All these people have image issues and have to yell the word bonus to make it though the week. If they dont they feel as if they dont have enough turns.
