Its been 2 years since my last post at this rate I will be dead before my rep increases

Welcome back, but if you start by necroing 2-year old threads then your rep's going down not up.

what do you need rep for?

good question

Biceps?

Here's to another 2 more years?

1st rule of rep is that if you talk about, it'll go down

2nd rule is that even if you don't talk about it'll still go down

3rd rule is that you shouldn't put too much effort into your posts because more words statistically increase the chance of someone disagreeing with you and hence downvoting your post

Somebody should make a browser mod that shows this for the rep:

Rep: You Win **shows 10 stars**

Problem solved.

Rep is like NFTs, it... is something that is there....

I mean you can't eat it, or spend it, or share it, or trade it, or drive it, hold it, or even see it....

A high positive rep means you talk too much with little to say.

A high negative rep means you actually have something to say as evidenced by pissing off the woke liberal clowns on this forum.

Hey.

There are some really cool people with a lot of rep, sometimes people gather it up real fast by giving games away, and others get it by saying something crowd pleasing. I would not think about it. I mean, I like seeing it go up but when it goes down I just laugh and wonder why the bot targeted me that time.

As of this edit I forgot I had 768 rep, I thought it was 660 for some reason. Oh well, we'll see if it stays there I guess.

oh is this one of those threads to be down-voted? I'm ready to party!

Rep doesn't matter. But if it does matter to you for some reason, it doesn't just magically raise over time. It goes up one point for every day you use the forum, not sure if you have to post or just browse while logged in. Either way, making this thread is the wrong way to go about gaining points that don't matter.

IIRC it's one point for every day you post at least one message.

"one of those"...
Isn't nearly every thread these days orange plagued? In most of the cases I can't see any reasons why the concerning users got downvotes. Some posts deserve it, sure, but the most absolutely not. Is this a new form of sports or hobby for some people? I don't get it.

That would certainly explain why the user who hasn't posted in 2 years hasn't gained any rep in 2 years. It's like someone complaining it's taking forever to save up for something only to reveal they haven't actually been putting any money into their savings.
