What is with these rep points threads?

Thanks for the reps...I guess.

Ren,, that's all well and fine if you are a postwhore, however....let your post count show that. Why the reps, though? Why are people so infatuated with getting "rep points" to where they make threads begging for them?

I read ya, Brandon. I have(or at least had) the most rep points of a non-admin. I got those points for just being myself. I have never made a "REP ME" thread, nor have I ever posted something and then told someone to rep me for it. In short, I have never asked for one of my points. To me, my points are the most genuine on the board. Not a big deal to me, but it's cool to know I don't have to beg for them. Later, QD.
