The Shoutbox
It seemed to cause a lot of unnecessary fights. Agreement doesn't always require elaboration, but disagreement usually does.

Some people thought removing it was a terrible idea, with at least one regular basically leaving over it, because they thought it would turn the forum into one big lovefest. That seemed pretty crazy to me even at the time, and it seems downright hilarious now.
it's funny, cause when we DID have negative rep, i hardly ever used it. it was, like, a big deal when/if it was used (usually when you neg repped someone, they'd do it back out of spite, and i was all sensitive about that). yet i feel like if we had it now i'd be using it a lot. i don't give a shit if people like me anymore. lol.
I wasn't around for negative rep but it seems like getting it from people you don't care for or disagree with would just embolden you.
I wish we still had negative rep. I'd be handing those out like candy on Halloween.
I like giving reps out, there like hugs Hugs-are-good.
You can't see other people's rep; I think he was just guessing.

SC has the most rep. It's not particularly close.

There's this one piece of code that you can put in your posts where it shows the username of whichever user is looking at it e.g. if I wrote "[code] is the best" you would read it as "HashtagBrownies is the best" and Yoda would read it as "Yoda is the best" and so on and so forth.
Oh ok. Well I think UsualSuspect is the only one with 15k reps so it's obviously not the code.
Yeah, but you can see how he wouldn't have realised that. In any case, there are quite a few users who have at least 15k +reps - I just did a quick check on my rep and I have +19,307. Even then, I still don't think that I'm in the top ten most-repped people on this site - hell, I might not even be top twenty.
How the heck do you see other people's rep count?

I think Holden and Markf hold the most, with Yoda also near the top.
Radio is jumping from NPR to local pop soft rock. Bleh.
So it's a good sign! Twice it's happened
Ah, you mean the + sign on the notifications, then. Didn't understand at first because those aren't just for rep. That's because, if the number gets too high, the little red circle won't be big enough to hold it, so anything over 9 is replaced with a plus sign.
I don't always get the plus sign though, only when i get over 9 reps on the same post then a plus sign appears instead of numbers.
