It's tough having so many reps. It's so hard to pick a favourite....

Not the Lillz, however... she's confused that she doesn't have about 15 more rep than she does.

Is annoying. Maybe I should go back to, like, noob-pestering. Almost never do that anymore... it's got to be the epitome of boredom.

I like it... i used to like it a hell of a lot more. It's the whole 'read some good things said about you' nonsense that makes people a little less depressed, thing.

I think a good question to add to the Poll/Thread:

Have you ever UN-rep'd a member after discovering they're not all that you thought they were? Thinking
