    So unfair! They should leave old points as they where and from this point on, start with a new points system. :( Like a thunder from a sky! :(

    But so long as the rules are the same for everyone, what does it matter ?

      Sincerely it doesn't, but still this morning, I had a big WTF on my face?!?!? They could let us now that this will be done before they actually did it.

                    Yes, I had noticed that. I was getting 1000k some days just from downloads, so I guess that meant it was decided it was too heavily weighted in that direction.

                          Well, to be honest, I could care less. I see now I have 467k ( was 410k before ), so things are changing. The thing is, it's all relative. If I have more because of a change, so do you. So, even if you live for such things, who cares what the absolute number is ?

                            Yeah, the very fact that he Could care less means it is important to him. Personally I couldn't care less.

                                  Yes, but they also assigned them based on 10 years of server logs instead of just the last few months worth. It probably had something to do with Maunder's ~200k downloads and the 1M rep points it would've generated dwarfing everything else on the site. :doh:
