    I just want to formally apologize to Forgehub and it's members for starting a thread that got the Rep system taken away.
    If you missed the thread titled The "Your Rep" Thread, it was started with the purpose of just showing others where you stood in the community. Or in simpler terms, who was really good, or really bad.
    Well, a week and almost 900 posts later it turned into a contest to see who could get the most Rep.
    Or to be blunt, Rep whoring ended up being the focal point of the thread.

    I assume full responsibility for what happened and am willing to incur the appropriate penalty. I am actually embarrassed that I didn't have the foresight to see this before creating the thread.

    So once again, I apologize to the staff and all the members of Forgehub for my part in getting the Rep system taken away.

    Its all gun be k.

    I think it turned out for the greater good.I know it was fun thing but it turned into a race or a game.Who ever was big on the charts were awsome and who ever were on the bottom no one cared about.It made people judge others without even knowing them.So I think forgehub is better of without rep.

    I didn't mind the rep system. Usually I like to leave people comments on how nice there post was or how well they thought something out or if they helped someone. I only gave negative rep on posts that deserved it. Oh well, it's nice though to not worry about that little green box below your name anymore. Although the irony of it all is the fact that we worked kinda hard on getting new statuses for how much rep you had. That just all went down the drain. Lol.

    ITs not your fault. Its the peoples who went rep crazy. I liked the idea of rep sorting out the good and the bad not a contest.

    Meh. I never used rep. I got rep but I would never give it out. Rep has never worked out on any forum I've been to. People just abuse it.
