Funniest thing about this situation is the people who are making a big deal about how great it is that rep is gone...its the people with most rep...from the constant to and fro...if you wanted to see the back of it so much why did you persistently engage in the practice of it?
Just an observation.
Aye but the people you refer too are probably the same people who made a mockery of it in the Friday rep thread which lead to them having a lot of rep. Personally I liked getting/giving rep but it feels good now that it's gone.
Also what Janer said: if there's something there you'll use it.
