OK i didn't know where else to put this so here goes...

can someone explain the concept of the money and respect thing for me? I'm guessing the money goes up the more i post,but i don't get the respect part,what is it for,if i give someone some,how does it help them? sorry if it seems like a silly question,if i haven't mentioned it I'm still kinda new to forums.

Yes, you money for each post you make. The Respect, people pretty much have to give it to you. Like, after this post I'll click your respect. It gives YOU two respect, and another $25. Basically the respect thing is like "Wow, I like this person. I think I'll give them some respect!" (Reminds me of the mafia...).
They don't have any actually use though. Like, you can't 'buy' anything with the money, or change member ranks because you have a certain amount of respect. etc.
