Believe it or not that post got no rep at all Although I did get one rep bomb for the photo of her I put in the photos thread. I feel warm and fuzzy. Oh, it seems I've spilled coffee on myself. It was a nice feeling while it lasted.
You've still got a way to go before you catch up with the elite three but have a real rep bomb from the Devil
I really don't get peoples obsession with rep...... Some complete douchebags have loads of rep - yet, i've never seen them post a helpful or constructive thing anywhere. Other people, i see post in software/hardware/tech all the time, always helpful, always constructive, yet have hardly any rep. I guess its all the rep orgy's that go down in general where you all rep spam each other to oblivion
I think it's a bit like overclocking, you're compelled to go as far as you can despite the fact that it's utterly pointless beyond a certain level. Margo I hope you're not insinuating I'm a douchebag I try to post across the boards, and sometimes I'm even helpful...
I dare say that if everyone repped me for my input in the Hardware threads; I'd have more rep than even Bindi. But 'eh. It's more just bragging rights than anything else, plus that faint feeling of smugness as I watch it change. Probably it doesn't go up that often, no? I wouldn't be able to fit my ego out of the door otherwise...
To be honest I very rarely take much notice of rep because it's not integral to the way I use the forum, but it's always nice to see I've helped someone or made them chuckle. It would be a far more balanced system if everyone had the same repping power (i.e. +1) but it's far too late to change it now.
haha **** no way I didnt even mean for it to come accross like that! Ultimately, I got all my rep mostly through one funny post, so who's the douchebag now. I'm like Mac Lethal - rep to anyone who gets that!
I think that was me. I repped you for posting the eventual name of my unborn child lol It changed after i repped you. Bindi has less rep than Shirty He just has a huge post count.
Bindi, Joe et al all have huge post counts, but remember a large proportion of those would have been news articles/features etc. The true spam champions are Nexxo and Krikkit (and Kid ).
