Lol. The last few months, I really improved on getting rep. I used to get red rep pretty often, or at least green rep not as often, but now it kinda flows in.
When I first came here, and when I was in prison, I didn't even know about rep. It wasn't until I got out that I actually looked at it. In fact...I didn't look at my user cp at all in my prison one. And being a former /b/tard...the term "User CP" was very misleading to me..and I was not excited when it first opened.
But I'm sure I got mixed reps from the infamous thread of mine..then some mixed ones througout prison, but after I got out..I kinda went downhill, started acting like a douche. Over the summer was mixed a bit...but I was slowly getting it. I was on 3 bars for so long, I was pretty excited when I got 4. I never got 5, as KB gave me about 400-500 rep points, and I bumped to about 7. That was pretty freaking awesome. Then it just went on from there..and at this point I barely get red rep (knock on wood). Actually...a few months ago I thought I was immune to red rep. I think in the last couple months, the only red rep I got was from...Stormtrooper, Sound of Madness, SNS (that wasn't anything personal though, he wanted to see if he could take away my bar right after I got it) and Doc.
Anyways...133 more to go till my full rep bar. Awesome.
