Do you think the original international playboys would care about how much internet rep they got? If the top posters here can't see the respect and admiration they get here just from replies then they are missing something.
The "original international playboys" wouldn't have shared information with complete strangers.
This is why this forum is so unique and valuable.

I'm curious to know whether or not MiXX would have still made so many high-quality posts had the rep system NOT been in place. I'm sure people here would still have deferred to him as a high-value contributor, high number beside his username or not.
That is a great question.
I have to think that maybe he wouldn't have. Not as a diss to him, but that is just my gut feeling.
Others thoughts on the matter?
Also, for all the guys coming up with complicated formulas about how to do other types of "ratings", keep dreaming.
Good on paper, but I doubt that is going to happen.
