So what is the deal with this Karma thing anyway? Does it do anything, or is it just a "mine is bigger" type of feature? I mean, if I get a million Karma points do I get my very own helicopter or something?

or is it just a "mine is bigger" type of feature? Bingo. Actually, that's just my best guess. I've been checking proboards, and they don't offer any real explanation. But it seems to be more of a "bigger number equals more liked"... kinda sorta. There's no explanation, it just is what it is.

Well, they ain't like S&H Green Stamps ( too old a reference ? ) Getting 100 Karma-Points doesn't earn you a choice between a set of steak knives or a rubber-raft for two. Oddly tho', one meeellion does indeed still get you a helicopter.
I think they're just for fun, or for the video-game minded. It's like gaining or losing life-rations or something. I suppose there's pro-boards where spiteful gnome-lords are into smiting their foes and exalting big conquering champions.
I know that I've enjoyed tossin' `em around to everyone, trying to feed all the little chicks around me with little pellets of wholesome karmic goodness ! I've been trying to throw a few to our 3 or 4 postless lurkers too. Maybe if I feed these weaker members of the pack, they'll grow strong enough to post . . . . or at least not get picked off by any cougars.
All right !, I just went from the barnyard to the Serengeti plain !! I'm halluckinatin' !!
I probably need a karmic ram-chip, no ?

My friend has a probards site, and since she's the creator/admin, she gave me an obnoxious amount of karma. Something in the millions! And then my title says, "If my karma reaches zero, I will be banned from the board =["
I love it. Haha!

But is this friend perhaps >MST3Kutie< ?? She of the short attention span who, since starting that board, has wandered off twice now for up to a month ?? Several of us here joined that whim of a board, and it goes nowhere, sadly. I know the creator there is 15 and too young for maternal instincts to have kicked in yet, but lordly !! . . . don't abandon yer' newborn on the Whirled Wide Web like that honey !

I don't know who MST3Kutie is. So I guess not! Her name is Amy, and I think her screen name is gumballhead... or something. And she's 19. So I guess that's not her.

Ah, so you haven't seen this abandoned whim of a MSTy-Board then , huh ? 7 members, and no one's posted since May 1st ! But now onto your friend Gumballhead. The name suggests MST certainly. Is Amy's site yet another MST ProBoard ?

Haha, no, her site is actually called "Potterholics Anonymous."
I don't give a flying... err... crap about Harry Potter, but I just kick around the general discussion area and heckle people about random things. They don't seem to mind though! Heh!

I dunno . . . is anyone else still noticing the karma ? I keep doling `em out like Ram-Chips ( got Calandra to her birthday age on her birthday . . so in that case they was karma-candles ), but I'm getting everyone up there but me ! I only just noticed how that will end up, so darn it ! You know . . . .. .
Oh, your gonna' make me ask ?!

I've been throwing you a couple Big, but sometimes it won't let me. For example, I just gave some to Robyn for her excellent follow-up report, but when I tried to give some to you that option was blocked out. Is there an amount of time you have to wait before you give another one? It's weird. Anyway, since they don't really do anything, I'm not gonna stress about giving people tons of karma...kinda pointless really!

I was just saying that I'd better drop out before I get everyone else up to 40 while I'm 11 ! and yeah, it's an exact hour till you can disperse it again. makes sense too . . can you imagine a FanBoy game-site where they'd be smiting rapidly like a machine-gun ? Oy !
