I've often wondered why karma is there, but never really figured it out. Probably early in the board's life it was to reward people for making informative posts, but it seems to have gone far beyond that now! It's fun, though, and maybe that's all it needs to be.
I like hovering over people's "squares" too, to find out what their slogan is. Once I read that you can change it yourself, but maybe that's an urban myth.
