'Top' Reputation Givers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I actually somehow made it onto this thing? Wow.

For the record, I really enjoy commenting on good posts. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm being constantly distracted away from the forum by the ridiculous demands of something called an "adult" existence, I'd probably comment more.

Heren, you're the liveliest dead body on this forum right now. Must feel pretty sweet.

It comes as no surprise to see Heren at the top of this list, that crazy son of a gun's even rated me several times!

I would ask one thing of the list though Barrow-wight. For two barrowdowners with the same 'score' is there a particular reason for one being above the other, or is it purely because one needs to be? I merely wonder why I am 18th and not 19th in this list.

But clever work. And I had noticed that the spectre of mathematics was creeping ever towards the centre of the website in recent times. I wish I had worked harder in school now, I might be able to keep up.

I would hazard a guess, Eomer, that although the Wight has here rounded the data to two decimal places (a polite display), the results were probably stored in single-precision variables (seven places after the decimal) or double-precision (fourteen places after the decimal.)

You could just go on a rating spree. It's fun.

I make it a goal that when an under-rated, respectable old-timer casually revisits the Downs, I hunt for a good recent post (or even a good old one) and rate it. Obloquy was one of my more recent triumphs; a quiet chap, but I caught him.

Now if only lindil were around more often...

Yes, I feel rather guilty that I am in some kind of "negative equity" situation ...
