I only joined the site recently and have basically found that the Influence Points are a well implemented tool to keep users engaged through private competition based on how active they are on the site and in the community. I actually really enjoy and it would love to see something similar implemented on other sites. I enjoy the use of badges and points to see who's really done what around here.

How does this system affect your use of the site? Do you even care one way or the other about it? Go ahead and answer, then provide a short explanation below.

What are some ways that the system can be improved, modified, or taken further?

It doesn't affect it one way or the other.

I feel obligated to keep up with something, thus engaging me in the site and community more.

I HAVE to be in the top 1%!

I think it's a fun aspect of the site (might like to see this on other sites as well)

I am really apathetic towards it. I would be doing the same thing with or without it. It does give yardstick to see how engaged someone is with RP as a community.

I really do not care about the influence score per se but a the competitor in me thinks it is fun. However, I think some are posting things just to influence their score.
