Hon it's okay. I believe we can all say we know how you feel. We've been there. It is frustrating. Hang in there hon, it'll get better.

I'm not offended Shali. & you probly just had one of those depressy bad nites online - I've had many of them and understand how posts like that happen.

But you might of been thinking what alot of other lower reppers here felt and maybe it's good if they can read this and see that maybe what they percieve isn't the case and how other higher reppers do try but just don't play in all the threads like they do, so it looks like they aren't repping.

It can be worked out for the good and that's my hope. I have no hard feelings or animosity at all and I hope my posts didn't sound that way. :/

Sometimes it's the one that says something that catches the brunt of everything, but you mite have done alot of good thru it to keep future resentments from creeping in this area for other people.

As long as we keep in mind that these are just virtual REPS and not real money and that we're supposed to be enjoying fellowship & having fun with this instead of greed & envy, then it'll be great to hang out in this forum.
Our own motives are the key I think.
off. lol

I started the threads for others to gain stars 2 & 3, and spend alot of time looking for those within 150k-200k and rep them over myself...I have done this around 20-30 times now..Many here can attest to it..But I also find that when you have high rep power that people just PM you and ask for help for all there friends..I love to help, thats why I have the rep power, but like everyone else Im trying to spread it best I can..

Let me just say this, if your coveting anything more than God, the signs are simple to see. Lets base our self examinations upon Gods word..If you are repping to get back ONLY, instead of repping out of a heart of love and desire for someone to have something that makes them smile, your hearts intentions are wrong....Murmuring about what you DONT have, instead of being thankful for what you do have..Never being satisfied with what you have...If your not satisfied with what you have now because you want to give more, make sure your not deceiving your own heart..Fellowship is whats it should be about here...

Thanks for coming back and posting Lookinup - becuz you are one of theeeeeee most generous reppers I've seen. I know Gazelle is and MMX... I don't have any personal knowledge of what the others do in their private rep life lol (sorry)....
But, I can definitely attest to the mass repping you do to push people over the moon & your help threads.
(doesn't mention his "JUST REP ME" thread.) *cough*

But you do alot. I think this thread can be good for others to read & see so that no wierdness over who reps who starts creeping into this area.

I agree with your post re. motives - and after reading more posts here I do think that's the bottom line with all this.

What do you mean it's not real "money"?
I tried electronically cashing my blessings in at my local bank and they wouldn't accept them....
I thought I was making cash here. I'm more than a little dissappointed.

I know what you mean!! I get about 4 reps a day from these threads and it seems like I am really begging for them. Then I see others that had like one or 2 stars a week ago and now they have like 10 or 15!!!
I just don't understand either!!!!
I can only rep 20 a day and they go so fast!!!

It's fun and it's quite a challenge!!! I think I should go back to the fab 40's threads and relax a little bit with my friends that don't really care about reps!!!

***sigh of relief***

Begging is bad?

I didn't get to where I am today without shameless, inventive begging.


And you do it so well. But Rep Daddy is also a VERY generous repper.

There are quite a bit of reppers here that while they have hight reps they aren't "in it for themselves". They do rep a LOT of people. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I've seen and know of many that give their reps unselfishly.

I don't get a bunch of reps either but then I don't care. I get help from high reppers when I'm near a star and that's fine with me.

I saw a thread where somebody seemed angry they weren't getting what other people were and part of me understands and the other part thinks its getting silly over reps.
If it isn't fun then we should ask ourselves why we're here.
I just take what I get and I'm happy with it. For now lol

I hope I am not thought to be greedy. I use almost all of my auction blessings by making games as I have been making games ever since I joined here. I still donate to CF, too.
