whats with the whole karma thing? and is it a good thing that i have 5,000,000?! karma is just something that came with the board. if someone likes you they can exalt you and give you more if they don't they can smite and take some away. or as is the case with you and certain others i can change your karma at will. i increased it to 5000000 cause i thought you deserved it

We considered turning the karma off as another useless board function, but then decided it'd be a nice touch. If you particularly like a Buddy or something they've posted, or you're just feeling particularly fuzzy, you can give someone a karma 'poke' (as we call it on another board).
Like that... *pokes Fairy* ;D

is there not a chance of the karma thing turning into basically a popularity contest?

Hmm. Interesting point. While I suppose there's the teeniest tiniest risk of it, but I'm inclined to doubt it. To be honest, I have an inkling that a good deal of people won't bother using it, even if they realise it's there and know what it does.
I know of only one other site offhand that does use it (MysticWicks.com, a great pagan forum), and it's certainly issueless there. Some people poke a lot, some don't; some have karma way into the multi-millions, others (myself included) have it much lower (a quick check puts it just over 130,000, and I'm not even sure how it got there...).
I don't foresee any problems; in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really mean anything. Let's see what happens... *shrugs*
