For those of you who like to collect Bloop points, by commenting on new diaries, why do you do it? Why do you like the points? Do you actually use them to get Bloop Plus, or do you just find them a fun thing to collect?

And how many points do you have? (Click on My BloopPoints Balance to see.) I have 1410. (Lots from Trivia, back in the day!) Have you used any up yet?

I collect the points and then I just give em away for the most part. Whenever I get a little surplus I start to just send em to people. Right now I have 29...not a big staggering amount lol.

Do people actually want them and use them? Or are they one of those presents, like socks, where people just smile politely and say thank you? I've never really seen the use of Bloop Plus other than to have a star after your name. Are stars really so valued?

I have a couple people on my faves list who cant afford bloopXtra and since I am not using the points anyway, they see it as a way to use them up, and get something a little extra (BloopPlus).

I don't collect them. I used to welcome members just because, but it seems like 99% of them make 2-3 entries, then a follow up entry 6 months later, and never update again. Haven't made "friends" with a single one of them.

Otherwise, there's no other way of collecting points, now that trivia is dead. Plus, no use for them anymore. I don't use Who's Viewed It, my star is still intact (I think), and there are no ads to make go away.

HAHAHAHA 8. Love it!

I have exactly 400! I like round numbers! No more commenting on new diaries for me! xD

Because I have Xtra on this diary, I like to transfer my points to my personal diary, so I can make use of them there.

What is their use though? Like, you can't see who's viewed you with them. All they do is give you a star. Is it just because you like the star?

I have no idea, honestly!!! Well, according to the comparison table, BloopPlus hides the ads, which I guess is kind of nice. xD And yes, I like the star! =D

The table's out of date though. There are no ads on Bloop, as far as I am aware! Steve removed them all!

Hahaha... I only went there because I hadn't thought about Xtra/Plus in so long and had to refresh myself! So I guess I do it for the star then. xD That and the points are pretty much useless on this account since I have Xtra on it already. xD

I forgot about Bloop Plus and the points thing. I have 90 though.
I've never had someone ask me to send them points.

I guess at the beginning, I liked to collect them.

I have over 6k and don't know how to use them :( I need extra again, how do I cash them in?

Hidden Depths - you can't get Xtra with them. Just Plus. Which basically means you can have a star by your signature. But if that appeals to you, go to 'manage my diary' and 'subscriptions.' You've probably got around 40 years worth of Plus there!

I only collected them aggressively when Bloop Trivia (still the king at it too) was working in the chat, now they just sit there.

I just give them away.

I have 1880... 890 of which were apparently gifted to me 12 months ago!!! Who knew it!

I have you all beat, with my whopping total of FOUR (4) Bloop points, from commenting random new people, which I probably didn't even know were new.

I have 522. Just checked. I totally forgot about this Bloop Points thingy. xD.
