    It is a game to which everyone can play, and in the end OG wins.

        Every 100,000 points, Sean comes round with a rather *interesting* gift. My advice is not to get 100,000 points.

          The gift is fine. It's the outfit he wears that's the problem...:~

              The practical use of it is that as you build up rep, the range of things you can do increases: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Reputation.aspx[^] None of them are essential for participation with the site, but they can help to improve it for everybody. The impractical use is that you can cash your points in for real money, provided you have the highest reputation, and you don't live in Wales. And don't mind the exchange rate, which is only available for conversation to the Triganic Pu.

                        As Griff pointed out, a lot of it has to do with permissions to vote articles up/down, etc. Personnaly, I come here to help people, get help, and troll the lounge. The whole notion of "reputation" translate into "what do people think of me", and is really an artificially inflated sense of self worth that has no real bearing on your skills or abilities.

                                          Every 100,000 points, Sean comes round with a rather *interesting* gift. My advice is not to get 100,000 points.

                                          I think we've just learned why you started drinking. :omg:

                                          There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
