I said this a while back but if for every certain amount of rep points, you got a post missle that could destroy another post thatd be cool lol

Not sure really what would be a good fix. I kinda miss seeing what a person was repped for.

I'm such a packrat, though, I hate to throw much of anything away. I like being able to look back at and remember the details of when we were eagerly anticipating the release of Xplosion, etc. While I understand the practical matter behind storage space, I can't rush to endorse wiping anything out. Then again, I may be too sentimental to make a good admin.

Sometimes the hard choices have to be made, and functionality today and tomorrow may have to trump yesterday.

I agree with Miraclo- I like to see the comments, the number doesn't matter so much. If there was a way to see all the rep comments we've accumulated, that'd be even cooler (though I admittedly don't know much about how much space such things take up, and would rather have the site functioning at max capacity rather than be able to look back at my past awesomeness).

BRING BACK THE LIME POPSICLES

Oh, and the titles we used to have. Those were kinda cool. You don't need a number, but I liked the titles.

Even better was being able to see their warning points.

I like seeing when people send me a message for a funny post I made. I like knowing that I made a person laugh, since I am unable to hear their laughter. As long as we keep that i think that would suffice for me. I do like the "liking" a post idea as well.

Try a like system with two inputs: one is a raw "score" that just tells you how many posts by a particular user has been repped with the second number being the total number of times you are repped.
Example: Typhon has been "liked" 42 times. He has 675 comments.
This makes it so it's a +1 system, but also an aggregate total.

When I got rep, I looked at the page & thought it was nice that someone liked my post enough to do that so I check my user CP screen every once in a while to see if a new one popped up or not but the overall numbers never meant anything to me.

I say let people leave nice little messages for one another like they can do now & forget about tracking the number of times they get rep. Not really important to me anyway.

What is rep for?

Back in my day you were given a monthly stipend that was equal in dollars to your rep score.

Nowadays I'm too busy running my own private island fortress to pay attention to the vagaries of rep.

Thanks, Typhon!

Well it actually serves a very distinct and sometimes useful socio-psychological function, allowing members of good standing and interesting humor to stand head and shoulders above the crowd, while




It's e-peen

I like that people can rep me, and leave me comments. I like that I can check the User CP to quickly check what threads I wrote good stuff in. I like knowing my own number, just for the fun of it.

If we could only see our own numbers, that would be just fine.

Wasn't that when the Kaiser was still in power in Germany ???

Its only hard for the first thread. After that the freedom you feel makes continuing easy.
