    Morning AC. I'm puzzled why the rep has stopped at such an odd number. Any idea what's the significance?

    It will probably be rep hitting it's ceilling.
    A good thing in a way as us addicts can all get back to talking football... And wean ourselves off the rep crack pipe.

    The maximum rep is 2^31 &#8722; 1 = 2147483647

    It is because the website uses 32-bit signed integers to store the rep

    Let's demand the website upgrades to a 64-bit system, then we can have a rep of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807

    You are also getting close to the maximum number of user points; you have 3,008,359,088 and the maxmum for an unsigned (no neg points like with neg rep) 32-bit integer is 4,294,967,295

    bugger... lol.
    It has been total abuse though.
    I honestly wouldn't mind if all rep and user points were expunged from the records.

    So when you hit the ceiling number of Rep points, it stops the accumulation points as well ?

    More or less paralysing you ?

    You should still be able to get points from posts and threads and stuff, though rep is by far the most efficient way. I don't know if you still get user points when you get rep if you are at max rep.
