The forum has been upgraded and the reputation system has been overhauled.
Please bear with me as the reputation system is being tweaked a bit.
Since this was a new reputation system that was added to the forum, and the addition did not go as smoothly as it should have, some reps were reset by the system during the upgrade and unfortunately cannot be recovered.
The new system has named reputation ranks and reputation power per individual increases as reputation increases. Please note that to start the system off I've had to tweak some settings otherwise everyone would only be able to give gray reps. As more people gain reputation power the system will have to be tweaked again in the future to make the reputation system useful.
By the way, I hear this rumor that you get rep points for starting threads now.... maybe you guys should post a few new threads to test it out
