More coolness. How's your reputation?
Since we have nothing to do all day but fiddle with this place until it TOTALLY ROCKS!!! I added something that will make it even more fun.
Do you appreciate the knowledge of other posters? Are you sometimes in awe of their posts? Reward them with 'The totally cheesy 24x7 reputation point system' (patented in 14 pubs around the world).
You will see a green 'blob' under your post count. Move the mouse over it and it will reveal your reputation.
Look for the small scales icon. Click on someone else's and you can reward a brilliant post by increasing the poster's reputation factor and leaving an anonymous comment.
You gain points to give out (not to add to your own) based on your tenure here and your post count. Your reputation can only be raised (or lowered) by others.
It is a very clever system because you can't 'Hank' up a poster's rep by repeatedly clicking and you can only give out so much reputation per day (and we're keeping that secret). You also have to reward 'x' amount of people before you can return to your buddy again :)
It's mainly for bragging rights but we may throw in the ability to have a super honking sized avatar or custom title when you reach a certain goal.
Yup, it's totally worthless and pointless but there was a button that said 'On/Off' and I clicked it.
Enjoy.

That is a really neat idea. I'm enjoying watching you guys tweak this place.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
i found two green blobs...only one does anything when you click on it, and that's the indicator that says whether or not you're online.
but hey, I'm always up for new stuff.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
It is a cool idea. Kind of helps weed out some trolls.
Thx.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
The correct green blob is the one under your post count upper right.
To add, click on the scales icon above that.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
thanks...i added to your reputation :p
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
Ooh, I need to turn mine on.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
Yes, but Admin Dude has a 'disabled' reputation, so we can never see just how bad people think he is.
This adds pressure to my posts - I must be informative, inciteful and witty (which would be a first) otherwise my reputation will be in tatters!
Edit - never mind, he fixed it.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
You know what I'm not a big fan of that as we have that on Sunspot and I've always had mine disabled, but to each his own.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
Cool idea, but I hope post count doesn't factor into it too much. There are plenty of people with high post counts who just post jibberish and really have nothing to say. Buckdodgers anyone?

Post count does not improve your reputation. It does give you (maybe) more points to hand out.
Re: More coolness. How's your reputation?
Nice find! vB has tons of cool features. vBPlaza/Ebux Point System, vB pager, an arcade as well. I'm not sure what you're going to do with this site, but whatever you do, I know it will look GREAT! It does already!
