Is there some really overriding reason why points have to be recalculated every HOUR??
Surely once every 24 hours should be enough to satisfy most people??
How about a survey asking people how often they would like points re-calculated, given that this can possibly adversely affect the forums' speed, effectiveness, etc.??
After the survey is completed and a reasonable time for points updates is set up, just tell everyone when the points are calculated, and how to relate this to their own time zones, if they wish to keep up to date etc.
Is the competition for points THAT important??
I think that forum speed and promptness of responses to questions is way more important than how many points any given person has.
Perhaps a 'manual' points recalc could be done whenever a profile is looked up ur upon request by the user??
Aren't there other things on these forums that are a lot more important to people than points calculations??
Thank you for reading this,

Thanks, Tom. Good point. System stability and performance are definitely higher priority than point refresh rates.
100% agree.
consider even to create a poll.
