I usually just peruse the site and don't log in unless I want to post. I was surprised a few weeks ago when I logged in to notice that I had way more karma than I remembered. (and it is a large even number, too) I don't know how or when I accumulated it. When I checked the user panel to see who/why I got so much karma I found nothing. I have received karma from only one person in the last 6 months and I doubt that they gave me 20,000+ points.

So the OP isn't the only one to notice posts from people with only a few posts but a lot of karma. And I also think it disturbing to think that someone has somehow hacked the forum.
