Hey welcome to the boards!
Smorgass Bored said:Here's the problem with your experiment. I've been on AZB since its beginning and like you, it took a long while to accumulate green boxes and Rep points. After 5 or 6 years, I had a total of 58 points.
Over the past 2-3 years, AZB doubled (or tripled) it's Member base and the number of people giving Rep grew proportionately.
I, and many other longtime members of AZB now have many thousands of Rep points. It took me about 8 years to accumulate my total, but now it is what it is.
In the past day or two, a new poster named GUS made a post and had one green box, I gave him Rep one time and he jumped from 1 green box to 8 green boxes. I am not alone. There are now over 300 members that have maxed out their green boxes at 11.
Good Rep from any of the members on Page 1 will now give a newcomer more than one or two green boxes.
AZB has grown, it's Membership has grown and the amount of Rep has grown accordingly. Such is life.

A better experiment might be to determine what type of life form Eddie Wheat is..... imo![]()

Maybe it's time to adjust the number of points required to acquire a green box? Seriously, a full boat of rep from a single 'hello' post makes the entire system ridiculously useless.. might as well get rid of it. BANNED members could create a new account, imitate one of these 'hello' posts, and immediately reset years of damage.Smorgass Bored said:Good Rep from any of the members on Page 1 will now give a newcomer more than one or two green boxes.

JoeW said:Hi Saggy, what is your major area of study? Your answer tells me what I might ask to further the study of pocket billiards.
Mine was psychometrics with an emphasis on the study and treatment of behavior disorders (psychopaths, violence and other criminal types). Retired five years ago from Youngstown State.
There are a lot of interesting people here.
