Yeah Overclocker kinda lives on this site and really does give good advice, but man that dude has posted a ton.

Jaydee had 3500 points yesterday August 4th. Today Jaydee has over 6000 points! Rabbits?

I think somebody's in bed with the French! J/K

I'll trade my post count for your points. 1 post = 500 points. Jaydee can have this approved with the French technoweenie guy. Posts for sale. make offer.

Incredible how a month old member can accumilate 3000-4000 points in a few short weeks with like 200 to 300 posts. Then guys who have been here for years have like 8000-12000 posts and have 2600 points. I don't get it. If someone cares to explain please do.

Its all about the quality and quanitity of posts. If a user who is new to this site has more time than anything else to post and answer questions(getting them right as well) it should not matter how long they have been a member. Length of time you have been a memeber means nothing here. Also, I dont believe it should be a big deal that a new guy has more points than the guy who has been here for 7 years. Thats kinda like a anew guy comes in to a new job and advances faster than the guys that have been there longer, he ends up being the boss or a lead guy real fast. This guy is obviously more in tune with whats going on or more knowledgeable or just takes his work seriously. It is a shame of the jealousy and/or resentment that I have witnessed here. If the points or ranks makes you so mad or whatever, carry you @$$. If you want your rank to go up continue with the posting and answers you will get rank quickly if you have the time.

What gets to people who have been on the site a long time is that their posts prior to the new system hardly count for anything. If a reply is worth 4 points, it should be worth 4 points regardless of when it was posted.

'xactly. Long time members have been demoted. Give us our points. The guys running this forum fall into the distinct category of being a Dufus. Dumb.

This I do agree with

I dont really post random crap. Nor do I falsely inflate my rank. I have made joking comments though, but mostly I have honestly posted as much as I could about various topics, answered many questions and I have only started 2 threads. This thread was merely fun for me at first, then I decided to make a point (becoming regular, like I am) I still firmly believe that long time users got the shaft, but there is nothing you can do about it now. Just hop on the band wagon and stop the whining.

OOPs I started 4 threads.........WOW!

Keith Olberman's father did? Have you ever witnessed a more god-ugly individual than Olberman? Please read into this the information was supplied only as an example, but especially personal.

Always wondered what was wrong with that guy. He was good on ESPN. Musta gained "condfidence"
About the french doll, I didnt even have my bayonette out....til later, but she surrendered anyways

Not you Jaydee. The 2 year old minds running Tom's.

Yesterday, 'yer point total was 3500 points. I noticed because you were a Veteran at that point level and I figured that 3500 was the Veteran level. I checked today and you have 6000 points!

I do do a ton of posting, and have created alot of threads, newsy stuff mostly, and have also been accused of best answer several times

yes since yeaterday

Jaydee you had 3500 points yesterday, August 4th.

Actually, since its happened, I had around 3800 points at the start.

The fact of the matter is Justin and possibly the French took over and went poking around the forum and noticed members with thousands of posts with years of time and became jealous. So, in keeping with their inherent 2 year old mentalities, they cut down the veterans on the site instilled by their jealousy.

Its important then that we step in in such cases. Set em straight. Theres those who I listen to, and those I ignore, and those I help, and if its an older veteran, then theyll be getting my help and respect, ya git

^ + 1

Yeah, but his high point total makes him informed and knowledgable. The formula for those points is a well thought applicable interpertation of a member's presence on the forum.

JDJ and I were about 500 points apart when the new member ranking system reared it's ugly head. Currently 6100 to 2600 points. He must have had a lot of best answer votes or the ballot box was stuffed.

Yea I can't see how he could have made that many points so fast. I wish the guy who made the system could give us a nice detailed post about how the heck these numbers are generated.

Dont you get extra points for starting threads also? Ive started quite a few. You guys are makin me feel guilty here (as I look at my sore fingertips)

Nope, been a vet since before it was a vet, it was supposed to be addict, then they changed it again, next thing you know, Im a vet instead. It was right around this very last change, and I saw it coming. Theyve definately included all my posts and threads and my bestest answers too heheh
