    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Rep power reduction

hhmoore said:
I didn't even notice the reduction until I read about it....well, truthfully, I still haven't noticed it because most of the time I don't access the site via that page. As Dave pointed out, it happens. I was questioned about this last night by a person that was unhappy with the reduction - upset by the loss; but no idea of what karma power was :shrug01:

Now I'm curious, though, so I'll have to take a look (probably by morning).....though the information will be rather useless since I don't know what my KP was prior to the change.

Same here, I don't know where my KP was before but it's only at 17 now.

Mine went from 41 to 11. I say, get rid of karma all together. It really doesn't do anything anyway. Just my 2 cents.

I disagree. Obviously it gives people something to talk about here.... :rofl:
 
1. Huh. My rep power went down. That's weird. It might be a bug; I'll check it tomorrow or something, see if it's changed.
2. Nope still there. Maybe it's still a bug. I could check the feedback forum, but I'm lazy, so I'm just going to wait a little more.
3. Still there.
4. I'm way too curious now. *checks feedback forum* Ah, that's why. Yay, I know now!
5. *continues using the site as normal*
6.
7. Profit.
 
LOL. Rich, if people complain you could just zero it out again. I think you have done that about four times now. Keeps everyone on their toes ...:D:D:D
 
I'd have to x 3.61 to get my 28 back up where it was. :rofl:

Oh well. I had a feeling that time was about to come again, so it didn't surprise me much to see this post. I was actually expecting they'd be zeroed out again when the time came.

Glad you didn't though. Green compliments my clammy white Irish skin. :D
 
I feel really blessed! Mine went from a 5 to a 1 & as new as I am here it could have been a -5 or some weird number like that. I would not have even known about the number I had if I hadn't bought a new computer recently. When I typed the info' for this site to come up it takes me directly into my user cp page now instead of the main forum page my laptop took me to.

At first I was wondering if I'd attracted some invisible negative karma too like someone else mentioned here, but then, alas I found this thread & it cleared up my muddy thinking.
 
Rich, have you discussed anywhere, what values were changed? Just got the "too much karma in 24" message, but only recall giving Karma out twice. Did you change that as well? Or maybe I'm just loosing my marbles. LOL
