TJ,
I was a fan of passing it up but the lack of rep has killed the great comments that most posters have left......bring back the rep!
I will even give a generous donation to the mane when I start my new job (hopefully soon) if you bring it back....

You actually think people are making less quality posts because of rep?

If anybody had ever left you any rep you'd realize the person giving it often leaves a note or a comment. That's what he was referring to.

I think now that it doesn't mean anything, and the window is no longer pop-up, less people are leaving comments.
Either that or my posts just suck lately.

No way. Rep sucks!!!
It's funny how people didn't care about their rep but as soon as it meant nothing they stopped repping people.

Oh Baloney.
Rep meant nothing but some stupid pastime. I had plenty, and it meant nothing. Every post stands on it's own merit. Everyone wound up with full rep anyway. Except Bob.
We lick our wounds and look forward and don't worry about such trival crap.

Losing the pop-up window was what caused me to stop leaving so many comments.

I like the idea of being able to comment on a post without it being a penis measuring contest.
No matter what I had to say (since I'm a chiefs fan) I'd end up in the neg either way.

I still leave rep all the time and leave comments. I don't like that it takes you to a new window and then after you leave the rep, it links to the main forum page and not the thread you were just reading. ugh!~

Agreed. I don't care what you do about rep.

Give me a month to chill out... Let's put some distance between this issue and the season. I'm getting ready to go on an important business trip and I can't mess with this right now. I think it's clear that the community isn't exactly happy with the end result.

cool, I understand...like Pat wrote, even if you don't bring back the "rep" meter, bring back the pop up window....

Everyone wound up with max rep anyway. it's worthless.

I don't honestly care about rep one way or the other. The threads entirely devoted to gaining it made it pointless anyway.
If we're going to remove something, however, it should be the excessive signatures. I think the avatar sizes should either be uniform or limited within reason and the signatures should be kept to stuff like quotes. It would streamline the board.

It would streamline the board.The new signature policy does state that sigs have to be a certain size or they'll be deleted by mods.

I'm not sure if I understand that. How is this like a chatroom, and how does rep make it worse?

For those seeking rep, find other ways to inflate - like reading a book on self actualization and grow some.

ROFL!
What does "self actualization" have to do with wanting the pop-up box back?

OK, I gotta ask, WTH is REP? I only surf 1 other baord, and they don't use it, never heard of it till I surfed here, and I just see people posting the word "rep".

Not a thing, I don't care about the REP bar. I liked the comments...and when the pop up box went away, many comments stopped....

Point your cursor at the icon in the middle of the three in the lower left corner of this post. You'll be able to figure it out. Read the window that pops up when your cursor is hovering over icon #2....... then click. :thumbsup:

Damn... I wish I could give you some rep for this statement. The best thing about rep was when TJ made the decision to show who was giving rep. There were some funny ass threads after that LOL
