I don't see a big difference, but XP is more of a gaming theme. In the end, I'm neither for nor against.

No strong feelings either way.

If more things are going to be gated behind contribution points (like being able to download full-res covers), then calling it XP sort of makes sense. You could even tie it to "levels".

XP gamifies it, sounds less serious. But then again the whole "new" Mobygames is.

(Also, seems like I lost three points with this last update? Not entirely sure, but think so.)

I cannot say I care either way, but it seems an unneccesary extra thing to change at the moment...more bugs need fixing before polishing these details.

I think it would be a pretty cool idea. I'm neutral either way on it.

I think it would be cool if you not only had XP but you could also level up. So if you gain 150 XP, you get Level 2, 400 XP is Level 3, e.t.c. with some levels unlocking new features (For example, reaching Level 10 lets you assign a class like in RPGs, reaching Level 40 with 50000 EXP unlocks MobyPro, e.t.c.)

If you really want to gamify this aspect, why not go all the way? :)
