    can't remember if i suggested / asked this before but how and ever:

    how come boards doesn't have the rep points thingy that other vBulletin sites have?? IMO i think it'd be a nice little extra and a bit of fun as well

    don't you remember we did have it, but it got so stupid and was such a mess that we decided to get rid of it.
    do a search in this forum for previous threads.

    There's a reputation system built into your brain. As long as it isn't too easy to change usernames it works better than any built into any forum.

    http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html as some good stuff on that (and some less good too).

    Indeed, you are all assigned rep in my head and various notebooks.
    Some say it is a kill list, I just tap my nose.
