There was a time when the points were reset. So what you had before that time is added to what you have now, which is usable points. It was reset to even the playing field, and there were going to be some giveaways or something. I haven't seen anything yet that we can use the usable points for.
I hope that cleared things up

But okay, so the useable poitns are for the games, i understand that, but what of the other points?
How does that work.

Since we can't use the other points, I wish they'd either just take them away or let us go back to using them. When we got to vote on the issue at the beginning of the year, I voted for this system because it made sense to me at the time. But I've changed my mind, and I think a lot of other people have too. I'd like to be able to at least have all my points available to transfer to others who want them if for no other reason. I hope they reconsider this issue.

I mean, the points are just sitting there at this point.... There weren't any give-aways as they said there would be.

Yeah, that would be nice. I'll bet the people who had billions of points are really annoyed...
