    Cool! Can you lock mine at 0? Because that would be AWESOME!
  2. Whoah... holy crap what the hell just happened to my rep bar?

    I personally would give that title to power customization. It's awesome.

    If someone didn't want attention... they wouldn't post. I see that you are posting... hmmm.
  5. That's not funny dude, I just had my first wisdom tooth pulled out Thursday, still hurts like hell.
  6. Besides, this whole thread's purpose has nothing to do with ego... it's just an attempt to reproduce a "feature" of the boards that's been disabled. Namely, being able to see the rep comments all in one place.

    My ego is actually pretty low. I hold quite a low opinion of myself which I feel reflects reality.

    One minute your praising the reputation system, the next your saying you couldnt care less about it and now you've made yourself your very own thread for people to comment on your posts?
    Isn't it funny how that works? Like a big circle, isn't it?

    Your response of "umm who are you?" made me personally feel like you thought you was above some people.
    I didn't intend to offend you, I honestly didn't know who you were. I'd never been to the EU boards before for anything. And this concept of "busting" was strange and new to me. I am the type of person that likes to analyze every new "system" that I come across, learn the ins and outs of it and find the borders. So my questioning was precisely that, learning and trying to gain information about this busting "system". And that's pretty much how I look at everything, as a series of systems. I'd probably make a good hacker if I had the patience and discipline to actually stick with it for more than 30 seconds.

    now this thread makes me think "wow he has such an ego to feed . . . . . ."

    Well you wanted the harsh honest truth
    Yes I do want the harsh and honest truth. But also keep in mind that I don't see the internet as the same as real life, and I am of the opinion that words are words... and that words don't hurt. Take that if you will to try to frame my actions in the most accurate light.

    In summation, I've got one of the LOWEST egos of anyone else I know, but you could never tell it from my posts, could you? That's because I try to "test" things to "learn the edges". You don't learn anything by taking the middle path, by not disturbing the leaves, so to speak.

    Really?
    Do you REALLY expect me to reveal all my secrets so easily?

    It doesn't matter anyways, it's just a game. But ironically I'll bet you'd have the exact same answer if you were to reverse the question.
  10. After moving to the new forums, we got this nifty thing called "Reputation" which allowed people to literally vote their approval or disapproval about a post and to leave a comment. All the comments that you received were automatically added to a neat little list that looked something like this:




    Sorry about the highlighting, that picture was the only picture that I had from the Rep comments list, it's from my "EZ Rep Posting Guide".

    However, about a month or so after moving to the new forums, some whiny-pants wussies that didn't know how to CONTROL THEIR OWN EYES started complaining en masse to the moderators that the rep comments were bypassing the moderation code of the boards.

    Okay, if you are a "sensitive" type and think that you MIGHT be offended by some comments that appear on one specific part of one screen on the forums.... wouldn't you be smart and choose to not GO to that page? Or even if you do go to your User Control Panel, wouldn't you be smart to just not LOOK at the part of the page which you KNOW would probably OFFEND you?

    Jesus, learn some self control people!

    Anyways, since those people that couldn't learn self control were whining so much to the mods, the mods took away the list. So now the ONLY way that you can see your rep comments is by trying to "rate yourself" by clicking on the button next to your own post. And even that will ONLY show you the reputation comments for THAT post.

    I could give a rat's a** about the reputation numbers or levels themselves, as the mods have publicly stated that it's just "a forum game", but I MISS seeing the comments!

    And anyone that spends any time on the forums knows that I post enough inane, stupid, and pointless one-line replies that trying to actually go through all of the posts I make daily JUST to see the comments is a huge waste of time.

    So, I've decided to try to resolve the issues, at least partially, FOR MYSELF. Now just think if all those whiny wussies would have resolved their issues with the rep comments FOR THEMSELVES by NOT LOOKING THERE, then they wouldn't have had to go whine to someone else because they had the power to take care of it for themselves! Anyways...

    If you wish to comment about something that I've posted, I request that you place your comment either in this thread or rep THIS post and add your comment there.

    Since you cannot rep a post more than once, if you feel the need to rep me again for something else stupid or smart that I've said, just submit a request for a new post to rep in THIS thread, and I'll respond with a new post that you can rep, be it positive or negative. I don't care, I just want them all in one place!

    That way they will be all in one place and I'll be able to see my comments again! If you really hate me, or you love me, or you're indifferent, then let it be known HERE. Because otherwise I WILL NOT SEE IT.

    Why? Because I refuse to waste my time going through all of my old posts to see any comments. My time is more valuable to me than that.

    I will be watching this thread and only this thread for rep comments. So have at it, and have fun!

    Good thing I don't PvP either.

    Too bad the "citation" is from another forumite and not a developer or moderator of the game and thus is not official verified and certified information.

    If this is not good enough for you, then you have an over-inflated sense of your personal right to demand official information.

    Speculation? They've been the first wave of beta testers since the video game was released... where do you see speculation?

    The Friends and Family are ALWAYS the first wave, usually the "Alpha" testers. And it was told to Hero Con attendees that they would be automatically added into the beta. It might be somewhere in the unofficial Hero Con videos.

    Well if you're coming back for GR... that's supposed to be released within this quarter.

    A goodbye

    So... you're leaving for like a week or two?

    Who would that be? Because from what I can see, this is the easiest to get into "closed" beta that they've ever done. Hell you'd almost have to work at it to NOT be invited. Amirite?

    Yeah... they always come back. Always.

  22. By the way, even if a moderator deletes your posts... they still count. Your post count will never be REDUCED. Hell, I don't think the mods can even manually reset people's post counts.
