Although I've just registered this month, I've been browsing this forum for years. Personally I don't think it's a good decision. Just because a system has flaws (which one doesn't?) it doesn't mean that you throw the entire thing out.
You know, I've seen admins and mods say the same thing about lots of other things on other forums before doing away with them - things like titles, post counts etc.
People are going to judge anyway. In absence of the rep system, the judgement will now be solely based on post count. There is no difference in the end, the judgement will exist regardless.
It's not as if people were trading rep points, which is the bane of rep systems on large forums. But then this isn't exactly a 'large' forum either...
