This is my post #1976. In the spirit of '76, I thought I'd get a new thread started.
This also means I can lay down 20 rep points on unsuspecting high-quality message board participants in the oh-so-near future.
I would like to take this time to say I am open to bribes in exchange for rep points. Quid pro quo, baby! :cool:
Now... I click the "Submit New Thread" button and make this post HAPPEN!
I participate in a political board here in Oklahoma. I have over 8600 posts, and all they did was name me moderator. A non-paying post which gets me chewed on extensively for stuff I didn't do.
I love it.

Well, seeing as I liked you way before you were the Don of the Dim board rep points, I think you should remember the little people and give me lots of points.
And um...I'll post a saucy picture in my profile, if the guilt thing doesn't work. :)
I see nothing saucy, missy!

When someone on here posts something brilliant, like say, a week and a half ago - all I have to do is go in their profile and flip back in their posts to find it if I need to see it again. With YOURS I don't even bother. I know that if I even start I'm going to see some other thread you got tangled up in and I'm going to spend hours there reading and posting until I remember how I got there. By then 99 more posts of yours have gone up. The magic is lost forever. :( My attention span isn't very good for these kinds of things.
I say at 3000 posts your handle should be added to the spelling dictionary.

And what about me? How do you plan to assuage me, oh foul temptress?

You, my dear, will receive an entire series of photos of me frolicking au naturel with thousands of frisky balloons! Let's hope static electricity isn't an issue.
Just make sure you don't make out with MY balloon (hint: it's the red one)

I can't take responsibility for that. The red balloons are notoriously slutty, y'know.

I love it.
I am moderator on a special interest board with some 60,000 members. There are people there that have like 35,000 posts (I have about 4,500). The rep system there got totally out of hand. You know that when you see posters with 75 posts and ten green blocks under their names. They held rep parties where all they did was rep each other. Eventually the whole system became totally meaningless and the administrator turned it off.
We don't do rep points....we just have parties, and they are open to posters/nonposters/readers/elected officials/candidates, and whoever wants to show up. I hosted the one this month, and I think at one time or another there were about 50 there, some coming for a while and leaving. Not bad for December when everyone seems overbooked. Many of my closest board-buds couldn't make it due to previous commitments.
Actually, only rep points would be based on, "If this person posts it, I'm reading it."

Although I've sort of raced ahead, that's where the board is eventually heading, with some folks having a few thousand posts, able to rep a new member into the mid-40's just like THAT! ::snaps fingers::
Perhaps I should only use my rep points for peaceful energy... I like Carrie's idea of posting picutres. Maybe we could work out a ratio, say, one pic per five rep points. With a set of 4 posted, I could reppify the person in question. :D
Of course, I'd be playing favorites, there, but that's only human.
LillyBBW: Sorry about the whole blinding speed thing. Would you believe I'm also working at the same time? I work, post a little, work some more, play Freecell, work some more, post some more... it's a pattern I fall into, doing all this creative stuff here...
Speaking of creative, and speaking of pictures, if anyone wants to model for me, I'm happy to take applications. I pay nothing up front, but you get to keep your clothes on. Interested parties please inquire within... :cool:
i thought you worked in some job where we weren't allowed to know your true identity, clark kent?

Yep. I'm on vacation from that right now, working on my other job, the creative one.

Please abandon this fruitless course of action. I look somewhat like Gary Oldman, but moreso like Werner Herzog. Let it stand at that. Consider my visage the same as Jose Desconocido's. If you find him, you find me.
Goodness knows I've dropped enough cookie crumbs along the trail, but I assure you the chase is much better than the catch in this endeavor of yours.

True enough, but keep in mind that rep power is an easily changeable variable. ;)

In that case, I'd like it ramped back after it gets to 10 per grant. Or whatever. I'm a Libertarian, so I'm all about having my powers curtailed so long as my liberty is preserved.
