Having a system to keep track of how much you accumulated reputation is what I feel is unnecessary.

Not like it will alter your life if its gone, not like it alters your life if its here.

Thank you.

I would like to comment on the access to the Black Project forum. I've been with NDolphin/NDose/GT longer than most, as long as some, and not as long as a small few. And to have a flawed reputation system decide who has access to a forum is perhaps the single most ignorant thing done in all the time I've been with this website. And to me it's a Oxi Moron, because I hate 'Elite Only' forums. It only devides the members of the forums further from each other. But just because I hate it, doesn't mean I don't want access to it. I'll probably never post in there, and yet I'm frustrated by that fact that I couldn't.

Some of you could say "you're only 100 points from having access so quit your whining." But I don't feel I should have to. It's a matter of principle. And one that I feel has been overlooked.

Personally, I like it. It gives me a sense of purpose within the boards. I had to strive to be good, and not stupid, in order to be a P3/P4 and change my custom title, and post in The Black Project.

If you do something wrong, it lets you, and you alone, know who doesnt like what you said. If you do something right, it has the same, positive effect.

Come to think of it, this reminds me a lot of my real social life as well. Interesting...
