    Things done here, such as joining, voting in a forecast, sending fan mail, and being featured.

    Good for rewarding the fans who take part.

    Good for giving people a reason to come back.

  • Printed code

    Codes outside the websites, on stickers, at meetups, in the newsletter, or given to one person.

    Good for connecting the club to things in the real world.
