How far back are reputation points calculated?
-
I'm not as active on this site as I us to be, but once upon a time I was a C# MVP posting between 600-800 respones mainly in the C# forum per month for several years (well, at that volume probably about 1.5 years or so). That was back before 2005. Are reputation points calculated that far back? Given my "Authority" reputation score it would seem not, but it seems that Author reputation points are more or less correct.

your rep graph[^] seems to suggest you wrote some articles before you had any Authority indeed. :-D

The quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get.
Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they improve readability.

CP Vanity has been updated to V2.3Which is another reason I know it's wrong. :) One of the reasons I got an MVP in 2004 is partly because of the amount fo community support I did on CodeProject - all the C# forum at that time. If reputation is calculated all the way back, did perhaps the relationship of "programming forums" to the old/new "C#" forum change?

I don't know the definitive answer to your question; AFAIK all available logs have been processed (*), so maybe there was no voting system back then, or the votes weren't logged then. BTW: the "protector" hyperlink in your bio isn't functioning at the moment. (*) except for downloading files (which have been processed since earlier this year only; older ones will be added, and all of them will be reduced in value).

Reputation points are calculated back to the dawn of time, but the issue is now from when they are calculated, but on what data are they calculated. Forum reputation is based on the questions and answers you post as well as the votes on your questions and answers. Until August 2005 we only had "posts", but after August we labelled posts as questions, answers, general etc. Authority points are awarded when you answer a question or when your answer is upvoted. Unfortunately for you, life dragged you away from the site just after we made these changes, so your posts, labelled "general" were never counted towards your rep. However, I'm rerunning the rep calculator as soon as we work through a perf issue and I will reassign posts as "questions" or "answers" through a mix of guesswork and keyword searching. You should get a bunch of points owing.

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I try to make it back here from time to time. Nice to see so many familiar names still.

And it's definitely nice seeing you again. I've been bugging Jeff about a Redmond trip sooner rather than later. :beer:?

Sounds great! Give me a heads up when you have a date in mind.
