If you are a scuba diver and want to get more involved in a scuba
diving online community, with a little bit more interactivity, then
check out the Dive Village at www.thedivevillage.com.

There will be a new points system very soon, which will allow users to
gain points for posts, youtube video uploads, pictures, etc, then
trade them in for dive gear and dive trips...now that is what i am
talking about!

Check it out - www.thedivevillage.com

Points system to encourage overactive posting?

Yeah, now that's a "great" idea.

There is a mod written for it, over abuse of the points system will
result in a ban. So not to worry!

There hasn't been a system yet that can't be gamed.

In any event, a "prize" isn't necessarily worth however many thousands
of points it takes to 'earn' them if its something like a thinly
disguised "come listen to my timeshare" pitch.

I will not do anything with the Village Divers. I hated ttheir song "PADI"
what about the lyrics

Young man, there's a place you can dive.
I said, young man, when you're short on being a pro.
You can dive here, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to breathe from P_A_D _I pony bottle.

and their other song "In the Navy Personell ( but Marines are easier )"

what can I say
