Wow, it's like, really indepth lol. I'm not too worried about it all, it's cool but i'm such a forum stalker that it'll matter very little to my score in the long run
I like the new one, but personally I think it should only stretch 120px because of the display picture restrictions.
It's pretty simple, you see it works on multiple complex and contrived systems that monitors general activity and contributions through posts, then it displays that as "points" so that people don't specifically farm/spam something to raise their rank.
Oh and there is a page that says what you get points for, it doesn't really say how much you get for each but it breaks it down a little. Its in your public profile, under vBExperience and I'll use Jeb's as an example because he has the most points http://www.xoohq.com/forums/member.php?u=1
Would not a rank be more valuable if you didn't disclose that you were trying to exploit it? Anyway, the point of the convolution is to detour this sort of behavior, just in case you missed that point.
I like the VB experience, but I must admit I kind of liked working up activity with the "at least 4 posts a day" on the last system. But this is fine, too.
How about those of us that have been around longer than dirt get our reg dates changed to the conception of Xen
Meh im just a bit annoyed that every time the forum crashes we lose our reg dates. MUTHA FUCKAS NEED TO KNOW IM OLDER THAN DIRT AROUND THESE PARTS!
