1) Points.
You will earn points by making threads, posting in topics, leaving VM (Visitor Messages) and more around the site. Right now I'm not sure what you can do with the points (I just started the site) but when I do learn I will let you all know.
2) Reputation.
You can 'Thank' other users, and add to their reputation. (Meaning you Thank them, like for a post. If you like their post, click Thanks.)
3) Ranks.
The higher amount of posts you have, the higher your rank is.
Ranks:
Member- 100 posts. (3 stars)
Movin' Up- 300 posts (4 stars)
Movin' Up- 500 posts (5 stars)
Top Poster- 1,000 posts (6 stars)
Posted the Most of all Time- 3,000 posts and more (7 stars)
That's all for now.
