Activity counts, basically...

Something like 1 point per post, 1 or 2 points per script (not sure there), etc.

Notice that these are also migrated from the "old" format of the forum so the number of visits may not be anywhere near the points.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

It's 1 point per post, correctly answered Questions of the Day at their point value (usually 1-2 points).

We may expand it to scripts and articles, not sure yet.

It's kind of an activity award, as Jeff mentioned. Shows how much you've been on the site. Maybe ever so slightly related to skill. Doubt too many people that are just asking questions would get to 100 posts.

At least I hope not.
