With the pound becoming (Very very very slowly) stronger than it was at the end of 2009 is the exchange rate here likely to increase alongside this?

The pound's been below 0.63 to the dollar throughout the majority of this year (Since mid Jan - Feb) and Economists predict the pound to be 0.60 against the Dollar by the end of this year; so if that's the case will P2S drop down to ~0.60 also, as it hasn't moved ever since I've been here :p

That extra 5p per pound (Even that extra 2p per pound) is quite a considerable amount, especially when ordering big things, and especially as our items prices are x10 more anyways ^_^

Just curious ;)

I would say you would need to send in a support ticket to find out as I believe that the site controls it. I am not sure if it is automatic or not either.

I was contemplating that, but some of the mod's have been here years so they may have noticed it change at some point, and might have asked already ^_^

And seeing as it's the weekend I wouldn't get a reply until Monday/Tuesday so I might as well send one Sunday if i'm still that curious, hehe XD

It has changed since me nine months on this site. I think 9 months ago when I first came along 155 points were worth a £1, it seems to have gotten higher since then.

I think it will reflect but I don't know if it's immediate or slow going.

I'm not to sure about the exchange rate of cash; I'd assume it went by the actual exchange rate as opposed to a pre-set exchange rate set by P2S as we're dealing with 'real money'; but I'm only guessing - never made a withdrawal xD
If that's the case though, I'd assume we're getting a better value for money by withdrawing xD
