Here is my idea for the usage of the member points:
We could have a member of the week... the person with the most points.
At the end of the year, we could also have a Person of the Year, the person with the most overall points.

I do like this idea, and I think it would be fun. If there is ever a tie with the points, there could either be two Members of the Month, or we could vote. What do you think? I find this an excelent idea to use the member points.
