-what are these bits? i see you can donate them to somebody else, but what are their use?
-why is it that whenever i reply my post counter does not increase? is it because im not actually starting the topic?

Here is a topic about the bits:

(general discussion > sticky)

and I guess postcount is turned off in some places (maybe offtopic?)

posts made in offtopic dont count and bits are like currency here (if thats wut u wanted to call them)

Bits are really useless things with which you can buy a bunch of useless, worthless add-ons to your account. Usually you just give them to people when they do something nice or helpful to show your appreciation. Or just give them karma.
