The votes are in and, by a vote of 35-13, the Karma system has been turned off.

Sure enough.. when I FINALLY start to get some.

Oh well, I guess I can quit being honest....

Funny, I was trying to figure out what was wrong w/ my browser at work all day - not that I had any Karma, I just was curious why it had gone away.  I tried resetting the cookies & cache etc.  You managed to turn the system off during my ride there, which was really confusing.

I just was curious why it had gone away.

Ran a poll for several weeks to determine if members wanted to keep it or ditch it. In the end, the vote was roughly 3 to 1 to get rid of it, so Glenn deleted the function.

I guess I'll have to get my external validation somewhere else.

It will be missed.

-ahhh the old feeding the post counter. The single smilie or the "I agree." standards. There should be a way to use a web spider to count all those single posts. Nah, nevermind the number would take up several screens.
