Boards Comment – What's up with the NFS scoring system?

Points are broken. We are well aware... They were developed with the best of intentions but currently they are not particularly useful.

They need dev work, or they need to go. We don't have developers on staff and yes, we've been putting out fires (and when I say "we" I mean our product guy... Which is me). But we have a laundry list of features to improve the boards and community features and hopefully they'll be live soon. Hang in there and thanks for asking!
