is pointless what will you do? Will you try to add every member on here to your friends list? :grin-square:
Hey Fatboy Now That Rep.....
- Thread starter Fast Lenny

You take it as seriously as he does, you've gotten E-hurt over rep before, don't lie.
Okay you got me but I am past that now and trying to move on, it was a painful time for me and I needed to use lots of alcohol to ease the suffering of the rep withdrawals. :frown:
P.S. Fatboy is willing to pay to upgrade the system so the rep can continue to grow so I think he takes it just a touch more serious then I do.
Rep me! Rep me! Oh please someone, please please please rep me! Pretty please with sugar on top! I can't make it another day without rep points. I'm dying here, wasting away to nothing. HELPppp meeee .......:crying:
I just can't bring myself to rep a whiner:smile:. But to ease your pain and suffering a bit.....I have left you all my v-cash upon my passing from this world......spend it wisely my friend......I highly recommend v-hookers
Why is rep pointless?
Or rather, why is it more pointless than it was previously? Has something changed?

Some people I guess are maxed out and cannot receive anymore rep, I am just teasing Eric, he is a good guy from what I gather. :smile:
Haha, that is worth some rep. :smile:
i like you, its all in good fun. when you have health problems like I do sometimes I'm infront of a computer more than I would like to be. I was doing good the past month and have been able to travel. But the drive to Vegas last Thursday got me good. My back hurts like hell again i would give up everything I have to feel good. I'm better than I was but fragile now.
As far as rep goes yeah I would love to have one of my programmers do a re-write of the system so it isnt capped. It wouldnt cost me anything but a little of their time. I have made some great freinds cause of REP, its fun for me-whats wrong with that? I dont care what my ranking is its just fun.
take care,
Eric:smile:
2,147,483,647
on the button! Some function of the binary system, hex 16 for 80,000,000 or something... Shooting Arts figured it out. (he knows way too much
)Once someone hits that #, their rep ranking with the others that are maxed out is determined alphabetically. I think Iowa_player was the most recent maxer-outter.
I think people that get maxed out have no motivation to be nice anymore and not make any more quality posts. So, that being said, I hope ya'll get termite infestation in your shafts and they fall off.
It wouldn't take a rewrite. In fact, I think that the database field on the user table that holds the reputation is an integer (max positive value of 2147483647 for a signed, 4-byte integer, which is the case here, I believe). My guess is that all it would probably take is altering that field to be a bigint and we'd have 10 more years of rep-mania. lol. There may not even be any code that needs to be modified at all.
If that is the max,then the value is currently defined as a "long int (signed)". Two ways to solve it... convert it to an "unsigned long int" (which will give you double the amount of points possible) or convert it to a "unsigned long long int". The latter will give you more bang for the buck as it would be a true unsigned 64 bit value (max = 18446744073709551616).

I know it's a mysql database, so I was going by their defined data types (SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT, etc.). I used to host the forum, so I'm just going from memory here that there's a "reputation" field in the user table that's a signed int. So, yeah, changing to a bigint would probably solve it, but it would still have to be signed because some people deserve negative rep (I'm probably one of 'em)!

Ingles, por favor.

If it is, how come I didn't get any from you -- hoarding them for yourself
. I hope you enjoyed the little video.
Some people have reached the limit of the integer field that holds reputation in the database. signed vs unsigned just means a possible negative or positive number vs. a positive number only. In this case, increasing the size of the field would probably solve the issue (there may be some small code modifications if the code cares about the size limit of that database field), but it would still have to be "signed" to allow for negative numbers.
