Everyone just keeps rating me, so nate being all jealous and all, wanted more attention. Instead, he just he just 'axed' it. Very Happy Very Happy Well... anyways.

Why not? you don't know?

Anyway I don't care. I'm pretty glad. I had a 6.67 so I kinda hated the stupid prestige system. I never rated anyone.

I don't think the prestige system really did much anyways. I mean, people could easily screw with others' ratings just by voting super-low or whatever, and people with fewer ratings wouldn't have a fair rating, really. So I'm glad that's gone so that we can decide for ourselves what we think of other people. Now for the next problem: the points keep dissappearing (I'm using Solaris skin) both in the redirect page and on posters' mini-profiles. It'll say "You earned for this post" (which actually is pretty funny), and then in the mini-prof it says either "Points" and then nothing or doesn't have it at all.

Yes, I do know. I do not remove things by whim.
