can't remember if i suggested / asked this before but how and ever: how come boards doesn't have the rep points thingy that other vBulletin sites have?? IMO i think it'd be a nice little extra and a bit of fun as well

don't you remember we did have it, but it got so stupid and was such a mess that we decided to get rid of it.
do a search in this forum for previous threads.

There's a reputation system built into your brain. As long as it isn't too easy to change usernames it works better than any built into any forum.

Indeed, you are all assigned rep in my head and various notebooks.
Some say it is a kill list, I just tap my nose.
