Say Hello to The Rep Grand Group! [07/19/16 UPDATE!]

That, and the fact that no one could give more than a few reps in a 24 hour period made each one REALLY special. Also, getting reputation used to be one of the very few things that would light up the little "Notifications" tab (the others being a PM, which is sort of rare, and an infraction/warning which oh-my-what-have-I-done!) So when you logged on and saw that you got an immediate thrill of positive goodness.

The limit of reps (or "likes") now with the new forum software is limited to 25 per day, as it was in the old forum software.

And you're right about it being nearly a positive experience to get the notifications tab with messages or rep waiting for you. I do miss reading the reasons a fellow forum user would give me rep... everything from a snarky and funny statement to a well-laid-out post. I also miss being able to tell people why I was giving them reputation as well.

Birthday rep.

Two things gone in this forum, the "Birthday's today" and the rep messages.

Hm... Squad could get someone who isn't a game developer and who knows how to code create an account that'll only be run by a bot. The bot would have a list of birthdays (as shown on the forum software) and when a person's birthday comes up, it likes their most recent post and also sends a pre-written generic PM to the person.

They do send birthday messages. I just liked giving people "presents."

Ah I see. Well we still can  . It's just not a rep anymore  .

No, we can't. The "birthdays today" feature is gone.

But I'm off topic now.

Congrats to @monstah on cracking one kilorep.  

[monstah]

Hey, it's me!

...that post was a couple minutes after my 1000th, you been stalking me?  

And you're just about to crack 10K. How many would Green Iron Crown have by now?

Negative eleventy-umpteen godzillion. Looking forward to RIC joining me in--what, the Rep Lakh Group? 

And congrats @monstah! Someone will come by to fit you for your official clubhouse smoking jacket shortly. (yes, it's the jacket that's smoking, not the wearer--you'll get used to it.)

[ZooNamedGames]

@Endersmens there's no rush (but @Dman979 will likely scold me so anyway despite saying otherwise), but just asking for a status update or maybe further consideration for "passing the torch". I'd still be honored if you'd consider me  .

That said, hope all is well with you. Today I've got a funeral so, :/

Scold you? I never!

75% Achieved. *brings up calculator on computer*

243 days since April 5.

75% there.

243/3=81.

81 days from today = Febuary 24.

I'm going to be waaaay off probably, but that is the guess based off of statistics.

 

Also, congrats to @Red Iron Crown on reaching the - what are we calling it?

Okay, then. I don't know is @SQUAD's reputation has been artificially inflated, but if it is not, then the

[Mister Dilsby]

@SQUAD doesn't count--but@Red Iron Crown definitely does! Congrats, and it's the very least honor this Forum can give you for your tireless efforts to make this a great place for everyone who loves KSP. 

I hope you enjoy your special smoking jacket with the gold embroidery and ruby highlights as much as I have mine, and that the smoke doesn't get in your eyes too much.

And I'm going to try as hard as I can to make @CobaltWolf the next person in that group.

 

You hear that @pTrevTrevs? Go rep everything he says.

[Red Iron Crown]

Thanks for noticing, guys.  

[adsii1970]

Wow, 10,000 rep... congrats, @Red Iron Crown!

Hey, y'all, when I grow up, I wanna be like him! @Kuzzter is right... many of us piled on the negatives on GIC just to - well... you know...

 

[HoloYolo]

Ooo, almost 1100 rep and it's only been a month since I hit 1000. Pretty cool!

[DarkOwl57]

JUST PASSED 200!!!

It's one of the infinite numbers between 199 and 201, but that's not important right now.

On the old vBulletin forums, they required everyone to give a birthday when signing up. The software then displayed whose birthday it was at the bottom of the front page, about where the "Newest Member" is now.

Why did they remove it? That seems like an awesome thing!

I would like this as well. Obviously most of my likes and rep come from Emiko Station, and I'm often curious just what it was readers really liked. Or disliked for that matter.

For some reason, I can see this - a self-smoking jacket - being in Airplane 3 - and with it being Leslie Nielsen wearing it... Oh, gosh, my 1970s/80s childhood is seeping back out again!

Guys, this thread was meant to congratulate people on reaching 1000 rep points. If it turns into people just asking for more rep to artificially build up their totals, then rep becomes meaningless. Please don't abuse the rep system like that. 

Hear, hear. I don't want to see it get taken down.

[Galileo]

I think there is a point that you reach in rep, at least in my experience, that ANYTHING you post is guaranteed to get likes. I find it funny.
