A significant amount of the karma that the devs in here have was given by me after I was able to give big chunks myself. They just don't post enough "funny" stuff in the parent forum like I have done to get my karma.
The "huge karma" trafficking goes on in the parent forum (and "unutterable silliness" type forums), mostly. Not in this nerdish esoteric ephemera (Dev Corner) forum. We are just poor "starving artists" in here, where all the "good stuff" gets created. I am just acting as a gateway, transforming "funny" karma into "achievement" karma.
