You have to post 50 messages before you can see your rep count. You probably have at least 100K but you can't see it.

Oh and BTW welcome! <3 <3 <3 new FF-ers!!

 

Sweet thanks!

 

lol, this thread is my legacy for this forum....

Anybody remember the dark days, when rep was being help captive in a monopoly between 30 members or so... we secretly were reping one another trying to build up enough to resist being neg-repped to zero, lol. It was the underground rep railroad!

Rep Freedom for all!

 

Hi.

 

Lol, the rep railroad......rofl. I remember those days, we started a rebellion and conquered the enemy

 

And a fine legacy it is, too.

 

 

Did you know that is from a song by Mickey Newbury and originally titled as "33rd of August".. He was from Houston.

 

does rep even matter anymore? i thought i was maxed out but i just repped sugarphreak and now he is flying high..

 

I never really encountered "rep" points before coming here (to FitFreak).

It seemed like the point was to lend or take credibility so others can make a judgment before taking advice or buying something from another member?

I do give out a lot of rep though in spite of my occasional jackassery, and sometimes it is just for people who make me laugh so I guess I am not exactly helping there..

How is the amount given/received determined... usually when I rep someone they pick up between 100000 and 500000, is there some arbitrary weighting or is it based on something?

Why does it show 6.7mil on my posts and then ~335,700,000 I see in my UserCP?

 

I have acquired a big mess of reps since I have had any rep point increase.. I have a lot of people I repped that didn't get an increase in rep points also... I got out of and have stayed out of the red so that alone pleases me.

 

Huh, I never wound up in the red.. and just for a test I repped you and it bumped you 150k..

Weird.

 

Well thanks dude, Your one of the people I seem to alway s try to rep for outstanding, informative and interesting post that I am told to spread the reps around more... I rep good post all of the time and take note of the rep points before and after and often the have remained the same... I believe that one guy I repped a few days ago did acquire points.... Again Thanks

 

Wonder if this thing is still going? I'm gonna go ahead and spread some around!

 

Its going around now. Never seen this thread. Funny stuff in here. Guess I need to explore more instead of always using new posts button. Note I got more people to give rep to.

 

Damn it cannot rep from my phone. Android fail.

 

Reps goin' round!

 

I still rep people but not sure if anyone else is.

 

It's based on how many points YOU have - if you have a high rep count then you boost people a lot when you rep them, which was kind of how this whole think got started. You can only do 10 reps a day, though. We can only show that weird 40 M number, somehow that is max shown.

 

I have been looking for this thread and could not find it in search. This thread is epic - started by one of our original Fit Freakers! I got as many as I could before I maxed out. Reminds me of the early days back in 2007 when I first joined up. Hard to believe my MR is 4 years old now.
