xjay73: Thanks... so I guess I should be hitting "+" ... I can't imagine going back through six thousand posts... lol
Tarnicus: It's still a habit for me to +rep but the system is being looked into by the developers of the site and will hopefully be gotten rid of or changed so it can't be manipulated.
I'd highly recommend that any wondering why some members of the community might appear to be "harsh" to some beggars and very generous to others, read this post help
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/mahayo/post51 *nods* -- This sale is the first time I've gone on the forums (mainly because other forums I've been on always seem to be filled with nothing but people flinging flaming crap at each other), and as soon as I saw a reputation statistic posted for each user, I almost decided not to post anything, as that sort of thing just seems to exacerbate problems.
Fortunately, I've been very impressed so far by the community here. Hope this event marks the start of my frequenting the forums a bit in the future. :-)
