Dunno what purpose they serve on this board exactly , but if I remember correctly "pieces of eight" are a currency from the Monkey Island adventure games... so I guess you can take it to be some kind of wink, wink, nudge, nudge "currency" or "reward".

I know guessing the screenshot of today will earn you some, and I guess it's sort of a "prize", guess correctly and you will be rich and everybody will be in awe of your unparallelled knowledge of old games

And when you get enough pieces o' eight, you can buy out the whole Abandonia and turn it into a website with advice for pregnant bears.

From what I know, there was some intention that pieces of eight would be a way of getting into the VIP section.
 And that they would also be given for uploading/reviewing games, submitting extras and translating the reviews.

Pieces of eight
Yesterday I logged in and saw that my entire collection of pieces of eight, some 667 - were gone! I had a rank of about 70, now it's 1486
 Have anyone else experienced this? What's going on?Anyway, I've answered the daily screenshot quiz and gained 6 new pieces of eight but I want the rest back...

I was in an added a few lines on my personal info, "busy with" section, but I would have kept out if I knew it would cost me this much
No seriously I did change a few lines but why did my pieces dissappear?
