Some really nice forum member sent me 12 reputation points. How does that work?
Sorry, I'm a teenager who isn't familiar with online communities. :mothership:

Not where you last saw me.
Kind of like a "Like" button, only you also add a polite or appreciative comment. Some of us carry on short conversations there, too.

No doubt Medievalist is again frustrated that yet another of the FAQ stickies she wrote isn't getting read:

I remember when there was something on Green Chicklets and Why They Went Away, but that was so long ago it'll just have to be a mostly-unknown part of AW legend and lore, and you'll just have to trust me when I tell you you're "on a distinguished road."

A dark, evil place.
A "like" button, but for writers who actually write? Awesome!

Well, not totally. It's more like a short conversation button. You might type "I'll try to get to that critique as soon as possible but I can't do it until this weekend." Or, "Here's a link to the article you were looking for." Or "Yep." Or ":e2moon:." cray uses that one all the time.

giving rep points is exactly, and i cannot stress this enough: exactly, like giving bacon to your dog.
