That means rep can then go to:

9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

Already did.

Was also chatting with him on a different subject and referred him to this thread.

Well guys, some of you knew this day was coming, the time has come that the Rep system comes to an end here.

While the maximum amount could be tweaked in the database to support 64 bits, let's face it, it took less than 2 months to reach this point. It wouldn't be too much longer and we'd be right back in the same position again.

Vbulletin also advises that having multiple users with the max rep amount will start generating forum bugs and database errors, and since that has now happened, it's in our best interest to stop it immediately.

After discussing this with Gary, we agreed it's time to just kill it off completely. We are also removing the bargraphs near your avatar, since they are basically useless.

The rest of the Experience/points system will remain active, so things like posts, threads started, days online, referrals, etc will still be functional and generate points. The popular and active people will still rise to the top, just not with the ridiculous points compounding that Rep offered.

Sorry it had to come to this, it was a fun system when used occasionally, and a nice way to leave comments to others for those special posts.

You may experience some slowdowns in the forum tonight to recount everyone's point totals without the Rep values.
