    Don't feel bad about it. VBF is a fickle place. Nobody has repped me for ages and I'm the best coder here. I am also very modest.

    Re: Why me???

    Reps come and go. There is no logic to it. I sometimes write a complete working code examples and get nothing. The more you post and are online the more potential for reps you'll have.

    Nobody reps me anymore.

    Re: Why me???

    probably because you've helped every possible person on this forum, and they can't anymore.

    But look at this. It brings a tear to my eye that I didn't get any points

    well this does not make any sense! maybe when you started, you got 100 reps in 100 posts!!

    besides, not all people are capable of posting ANSWERS in SO MANY sections of a forum, except for few.

    Lets see.

    You have 800 posts and 50+ reps so 800/50 = 16 posts per rep.

    I have 21,000 posts and 700+ reps so 21,000/700 = 30 posts per rep

    See I work twice as hard as you but in all respects reps are not a 100% valid way to say who is the best, only most helpful and knoweledgeable or such.

    w00t w00t, I have 6.83 posts per rep. Which is to say, 14.6% of my posts get repped. And given that at least 86% of my posts involve some abuse of mendhak, I can only take it that many of you agree with me.
