Well the no vote is a clear winner, Personally i feel its a bit high but I still think its a great way to get people involved in the forum and keep them involved. Looking forward to when I reach the target, and hopefully i wont bore you all with my posting.

Posted by B1gfoot: I think to cash out no, but to send to a site it could be lowerd to $25.
I like this idea! Put it to BRM
There's sites I've signed up to through here that I never followed up on, as in, tried, failed and never deposited. Whereas other sites I also failed with the NDB but deposited because there was something I liked about the site. The option to convert points to cash on the other sites might be a good incentive to give them another try. After all, we, the customer on these sites, are the ones that need persuading.

Its a good question but i feel it is achivable through the forum and reviews if you think about it if you only post 4 times a week you can answer lots of questions and worries other forum user have, you might get 50 points a time so thats 200 a week so in five weeks you'll have 1000 points so in just under a year 25 weeks you will be able to cash out 5000 points. You can get $50 every six months just for expressing your self on the bankroll mob forum. A few minuets work each time for $50 i thinks thats good value in fact i thinks thats very generous of brm Supernoob hit the nail on the head aswell by saying the site wants you to stay here so making the target achivable but not easy is in there favour.
5000 mobpoints is good enough, after all, look at the free bankrolls you are offered. I agree with supernoob, the forum is the most important thing here, you can have a laugh and a joke which is what makes this site fun to be a part of. Played in the BRM Freeroll last night on Poker770 and I must say, I didnt recognise any of the other entrants, not one of the regulars in the forum. I guess they are only in it for the money.

depends on how you try to get the points, for a user who has a very busy website will not be a problem collecting 5000 points, but for others it will be almost impossible or at least very difficult.

It is like grinding on the tables. The points come slowly, but they come.

If we give some times on the forum, and refer some friends to this forum, eventually you will find yourself getting the 5000 mobpoints without much effort. Although it depends on our effort to earn the points too.

Posted by KG1975: The only people who think 5000 is good are the ones who've either cashed in on it already or soon will. I've been here a while and even after referring a few others to the site [they never really took advantage of it sadly] I've only accumulated 3000pts altogether, I've used up over 1000 on draws and wasted a lot on the safe. I'll never reach 5k. 2000 pts for $20 would be very nice, as that in itself is tough enough to reach and I think it would give the more casual, but regular player, some kind of hope.
Thats not true, I've never cashed out and I'm not even close ( i spend my points). I stand by my original post for all the reasons stated (which you did nothing to refute.. you merely thought about your own wants for more free money and NOT what is feasible for this site to actually do)

I think 5000 is the perfect number! Not too much because its reachable for everyone that cares a little bit about the site and that visits it a couple days a week and for player that just dont care of this and only wants the money at the end have to come a lot more on here before gettin it so thats perfect Thx for the forum! Have a great day

exactly the points go slowly, just have to be patient and see how to accelerate or improve the way you get the points.
Personally I think that it should be possible to cash out or make a transfer into any poker account at $20 or $25. I don't think that it'd make a huge difference for BRM administration or that it'd decrease the number of active members as somebody mentioned above. In my opinion it would help a lot of new guys to increase bankrolls, feed their accounts or simply to have a beer money for the weekend if they really feel like having a few pints is "a must".

I voted for 2k , but that was before i found out about the affilliate system. Taking that into account, i'd say that 5k is just about right, ifBRM allowed cashouts at 2k id say it would cost them alot more money alright.
in fact i thinks thats very generous of brm 
) and its not too easy nor too hard for members to get
