So what's the secret? Sure, it's a boost for your ego, but apart from that, there's no real point in them, is there? I think we should change the system so we can use rec's as a currency:
100 rec's = free t-shirt
200 rec's = coffee mug
300 rec's = ummm... win the chance to join my clan? 😉
400 rec's = free cd of your choice
500 rec's = the right to slap one person of your choice (from rhp)

Well? I mean, you should be rewarded for writing posts that other people find good enough to actually recommend them to other people! (Right Shav? 😛)

Or maybe we could have a currency converter... 10 rec's = 1 $... some people could pay for their subscriptions that way!

Or maybe I'm just bored and broke. Anyway, sleep tight 😛

Here you go angie, buy yourself a dime.

Seriously, I think angie's got a great idea. Monetary rewards might be unworkable, as dirty no-good rec'ers might gang up on one post and send somebody to college with the money they earn, but maybe secret areas (no, not that kind!!!) on the site could be opened to excellent writers, or something. It might improve the entertainment value of the site.

Sweet. We could all pretend we were in prison, except instead of using cigarettes to get favours, we'd be trading in recs.

Slightly flawed idea though angie. I like t-shirts nearly as much as I like free t-shirts. So does my buddy. Who I'm sure would suddenly find all my posts hugely entertaining, as I more than likely would of his. Add this to the verbal diarrhoea that we'd both be sure to come down, and we'd have more free t-shirts than we'd know what to do with.

today I rec'd a post entirely by accident: slip of the mouse and a click out of the blue did it. Then having rec'd one post for no particularly good reason I thought the post above it looked a tad forlorn: as it had every much a 'right' to a rec as the lucky post did, I rec'd that too.
Recs eh? Easy come, never go: there's not many things you can say that about!

i've said it before and i'll say it again: people should get a weekly quota of recs, so that they don't spray them around so indiscriminately, and recs actually mean something.

500 uh, we might need to make a list "first come first served", or some people might be slapped to death.

but they don't actually mean anything - all they are is so that a good post gets, well, recommended for others to read. this forums changed sinces the rec's came in donkeys ago, and i have no idea if it's for the better...maybe we could take out the thing that says number of recs a poster has for a couple of weeks and see what happens?...

but yay! £10! (dollars suck)
