    Thank you for asking the tough questions. I am beginning to think there is a metaphysical quality to it. There is an oracle behind those bars that has a witticism for each individual. How did I find out you ask? I thought that maybe clicking on them might yield some magical effect. But I did not even have to click.

    Sigh. This is approaching facebook level of narcissism, so I've tried real hard to avoid this, but before we turn into a gamer forum and frag each other, TLDR:

    Rep points:
    - You get one bar for each 100 rep points. If I am not mistaken 10 for each green, 4 for grey, not sure about red
    - You can give maximum five rep points per day and limited to once per 40 ppl to prevent backslapping
    - The more rep point you have, the more rep point you can give (or take)

    Now the rep power:
    +1 rep power for each year of membership
    +1 per 1000th post (goodness gracious!)
    +1 per 1000 rep points

    Actually, this is more than gamer "self-image consciousness" level; try http://forum.bodybuilding.com/faq.ph...tionsystem_faq

    That shows you how many gaming forums I run around in with scissors. None. I still run with scissors in this forum. Actually, it's a Dremel with the green stone on 30K RPM's in one hand and a light saber in the other, so keep your nibs safely hidden away.

    How fatuous. I would have expected bodybuilders to be in a gym, not an online forum with walls of text.

    It really brings out your eyes. Now spin around for us. Yes, that's nice. It accentuates your backside beautifully.
