That's still what it is I'm pretty sure to a vast majority of forum members. I know that's when I give karma.

Well... recognizing that someone has been appreciated by the membership here (see first point above) doesn't seem obscene to me.

Perhaps you are visiting a different forum than I am (which is possible because I only follow a very few of the lounge threads) but I must wholeheartedly disagree with you here. To tell you the truth I feel karma is the MORE important stat of the member here... especially over post count.

If you want to opt out of caring about karma that is of course your prerogative. Thanks for posting your thoughts.
