If you're opposed to it, why are you kvetching about the number of your rep points?

I'm just not a big fan of having a sign above my name which says "6 times less popular than XY and Z" - and perish the thought I might actually begin attempting to "improve my popularity" through some dreadfully uncouth and distasteful self-conscious pandering/felating/compromising/watering down etc ad inf.

The TTA forum did not collapse; the owner made a decision to drop it despite it being quite active.
Perhaps partly because of the rep feature. Perhaps not. Thanks for the info.
