I have noticed the same thing Tay.

It's great for you to point it out though.

I mean I expressed my feelings open and honestly about my parents in on of Ringo's thread, which just to let you know, not something I usually do, but feel comfortable with the NDN Family we have formed here.

I never even thought to get rep points for that, never in a million years.

I was just answering Ringo's thread and bam, I got rep for it.

It's amazing how getting close in a forum gets you rep and I think all NDN really wanted from the rep system, is meaningful discussion and less of the spam that was littering ndn.

I'll admit I did spam and probably half of my first 1000 threads weren't even good at all.

But I have learned and am learning what to do to contribute better posts and relative topic information so I'm getting better I believe.

As a result of the rep system I believe NDN Forum as a community is getting alot better.

But that's my own opinion.

And it's also important that we encourage new members.

That has really made a difference I think.

But, what do I know, right?
