You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Grr I should rep other people more so I can rep you - this forum software is prejudice against interesting posters.

^ <3 I was surprised it let me rep you:)

noisereductions 02.23.2011 10:49 AM

the rep is meaningless. atsoinc probably got 203897434553 points for talking about butthole fingering, but probably DIDN"T get the rep he deserved for turning us on to new records/films/games.

sorry to disappoint you children but getting high rep these days is a lot easier than when the board started. because the amount of rep you can give is related to how much you have, any snot can come in today, get rep from a couple of high-ranking people and get a level of rep that would take months for people to reach when the board started. those little green squares accumulated very fucking slowly.

so today basically whoever spends more time here gets the most rep-- it's just a function of the math involved in it.

there's also the ball-cupping effect-- many people feel compelled to give you rep when you rep them, so if you want high rep all you need to do is dish it out like mad and people will soon rep you back and bam, you're suddenly a rep monster.

anyway, when i was your age i had to walk 10 miles to school in the snow without shoes ha ha ha.

NR has a point, yes, but cmon, the assfinger thread was epic and legendary.

Isn't that the point in the first place? And how much of this is just hating, if you look at the top SEVENTY FIVE people there are now newbies, they are all SYG veteranos like ourselves, so I am not quite sure what your point is exactly? There are no newbies falsifying their rep rank by getting artificially inflated by rep points from ranking vets, because all the uptown top ranking SYG folks are OG..

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to SuchFriendsAreDangerous again.

clearly you are hating on derek with your implication that his high ranking rep is not quite as top-ranking in the context of artificial inflation by having himself been repped by ranking members, which considering that the top 75 odd SYG members are all OG vets, that seems a bit redundant. If we are all giving out larger (in proportion) rep points then rookies to each other, then it is the same thing as if we were all rookies. Therefore you attempts to invalidate derek's pretensions to the upper echelons of SYG are rather baseless, so what was your point exactly?

I'm nobody on this forum really, I ain't shit. Rep is extremely trivial and I don't even know why people rep me so much. It's not like I make quality post after quality post hahahah.

But still, this is about trying to defeat atsonicpark (my arch nemesis) so yeah, enough of the arguments my friends.

Rep points and rank are trivial yes, but I actually quite like getting repped and reading rep comments, it give a better, more personalized validation that all of this SYG is not an absolute waste of time, and that some of us out there actually people and not just spambots ;)

ooooh, such drama-- i really like derek, and i believe he knows this, and i think as a person with a sense of humor he's aware himself that this "great achievement" of towering rep is nothing to be taken seriously, so he plays along for laughs and so the rest of we all (mostly).

please, don't make it like it's some serious subject. every time math is brought up in conversation you hipsters get all aggro on us geeks. now i don't wanna play anymore and im taking my toys with me. :(
