It was brilliant. There were hundreds of us that maxed out on rep too. The more rep you had, the more impact you had on someone else's rep
Wasnt it the toon board that had a rep brothel? Feeling it was chippy behind it all... someone that’s not a mod tag @Albert's Chip Shop
It was broken anyway in the repocalypse where peoples' rep got so large it could no longer be represented by a 32-bit integer. The software could have been changed to use 64-bit integers but instead the rep was just dropped.
The rep was causing a programming error in the change over. Dropping it was easier than finding a fix
