OMG I was so scared for a second there.

I had -148.5 points and I didn't know why. What's worse is that I couldn't do anything at all on VGF! Thankfully I had an alternate account with 200 points which was enough to fix this problem. Minor glitch there for some reason but scared me to death!!! I couldn't even view any of my topics cuz it said I didn't have enough points. Any explanation for why I was in the negatives for points?

He means on hand, not in the bank. That happened to me before.

OMG the same thing just happened to me! I had -5 points. I didn't even have enough points to view topics! I had to make an alternate account and donate points to myself to get back. I hope this isn't a glitch or something.

That's really dangerous there Shane. Why the hell do we have that allowed? I mean it can really screw you over. You can't even get the points out of the bank because you don't have enough points to perform that function. Glitch in the programming I guess. And don't say it's like really fixable cuz what if no one views your topics...it'll take FOREVER to be able to be functioning again. And I don't agree with the alternate account thing but there was no other way. Luckily I had my old one on hand.

Thief should get banned...it can actually screw you others over big time in the negatives. And I think it's cheap that people can steal points from other people that they DONT HAVE!

Did you even read the topic? If you have negative points, you can't access the bank at all.

Thief is really a bad idea.....shane should fix it to where at least people can't go into the negatives. After seeing it hasn't happened to just me, it's clear that the thing as it is right now is a bad idea. And I seriously doubt that shane intended promotion for making alternate screennames for fixing the problems. That'd cost him valuable bandwidth.

Shane's brain crapped and that fecal matter he pulled from his mind was the "Thief" idea.

Brilliant!
