Just Wanted to Introduce Myself and Say Hello

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.

I guess that was the point of the experiment.

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 :)

That maybe an experiment better performed by Saggy or his biology department colleagues.

Aw, go ahead, he might as well max out too. It is green box inflation, we'll soon be toting our green boxes around in wheelbarrows, like the Germans were with Duechmarks (sp?) after WWI. It doesn't make sense to me that because somebody has more rep, their rep should be more valuable. Not that it really matters at all.

Sorry to hijack your thread Saggy so I'll welcome you again and go back and give you some rep too. :rolleyes:

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.

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

Isn't 3-C available in the city? Sang Lee's place?

They are alot of city spots for sure, but truthfully aside from the occassional tournament I stay on my side of the tunnel. Between tolls and parking things not really worth it I guess.

T7 could use your help. ;) Thanks :D
 
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.

"There are a lot of interesting people here."

That was a nice way to say that, Joe.
I'm usually referred to as 'a case study'....
