I had something like 54 rep points before the system got taken down, and I had only been on the forum since November 2011. So what? Right after I joined, I started dropping a lot of data about different places I've been to with pics to back it up. I didn't even know how the rep points worked then. I simply was happy to rekindle past memories and finding a community of likeminded people to share them with. There's not too many folks out there in my day-to-day who can comprehend and appreciate my experiences. I was simply happy to have a place to share my stories. That's more than enough. I've learned from others as well and have not always given feedback for posts I enjoyed. The quality of content is what kept me coming back day after day, not the race for points. Seeing good quality content inspires me to provide value in return. You can see from my profile that I drop a lot of posts on this forum. I average over 12 a day. That's what matters to me.
The rep points are truly insignificant.
