[le harry]

[benjamin]

There isn't a reason for anyone to buy it.

[le harry]

You confuzzle me =/ --- I'm not saying you need a reason but for the people who do why do you do it..?

[suburb]

It's not a hard concept to get - there isn't any reason to do it, it's pointless. So they just do it pointlessly.

If you thought there was a reason you wouldn't have made this thead.

[le harry]

ok let me be simple with ya ;) no one wastes money pointlessly on a forum.

Why do people buy reputation points, is it to look cool or what.

BENJI STOP SPEAKING TECHNICALLY PLS

Well if it's to look cool they really do fail, because people rip it out of them that they've bought reputation.

[le harry]

True, did Sid buy his.. and neversoft.. and everyone over 25 rep for that fact..
Your just liked Benji ;)

Brandon bought 180 when the proceeds when to charity, and as he has over 5k rep, it doesn't make much difference. I don't think Neversoft bought any either.

[le harry]

Oh.. if it was to charity I might buy.. but yeah apart from that It wouldn't cross my mind.

Not sure how I have 3 and you have 21, you've registered a couple of months before me :P

I stick to the habbo side of HxF and you to the social side.. so yeah I think thats why ;)

You've got 4 :P but most people find excuses to rep me so they can say "yh rep mi bak plz"

[le harry]

Oh, I've improved! Woohoo :P.

I was obsessed with reputation when I was full into HxF Social -- now im starting to get back into the social thing but not really reputation.

[louder]

VIP is still lame

didn't you used to be a vip?

[Scouse]

because they have no life & feel good about them selves when they have alot of green bars on a forum?

[:Hazel]

because it makes their internet ego look good. i would never consider buying green bars, wth is the point? i'd prefer to earn them. :) buying is cheating ;)

[Hitman]

Lol, I'd buy VIP but not rep.

[You]

Lol, Flipton is like obsessed with me, he thinks i've bought reputation points ;/.

[uffie]

Mexel bought numerous accounts of reputation points in 540 per payment. J1MI also bought 540. Thankyou, and goodnight.

[:Hazel]

how much is 540 points? im just curious as to how sad people are..

[J1MI]

I bought at xmas time, thought i'd do my bit for charity. Sue me? :p

[uffie]

Couldn't you just earn it like other people, and buy other members V.I.P? Just as good as anything.

[uffie]

Allan, you even admitted to buying reputation points, so don't deny it, idiot.

[uffie]

540 is alot.

[uffie]

Oh my!

[uffie]

Five posts in a row, go me!

[J1MI]

No soz i didn't have the time to buy loadsa people VIP etc, just thought i'd make a one of payment of £12.50, sorry if you can't comprehend donating to charity.

[uffie]

12.50? Okay, I forgive you for doing it that one time kk. But Mexel, atleast 6 times? LOLLLLL SAD COW.

[You]

I'm afraid you're the idiot, learn to read the signature, this is Marc.

[Wootzeh]

To help sierk to pay for hosting?

[uffie]

I can read perfectly well and I choose to believe that you're still Allan; seeing as at the top of your signature, it clearly states "allan" soz. Even if you are marc, you can ** off anyway.

[Azul]

Because they're pathetic individuals with no life.

o you rebel.

[Browney]

Because they want to be leet.

[shiver]

Some people are perturbed by what the word 'reputation' actually means. I think it shouldn't be sold.

Mexel bought 1620, haha. ;)
J1MI bought 720.

[FlyingJesus]

Runescape neeks buy it so they look trustworthy for trades init

[Seacat]

Because people want to and it's a free place where they should be able to do so without getting criticism from people with nothing better to do.

If you don't think buying rep is a good idea, then don't do it - I'm sure there are people who think that some things you do in real life are pointless. But it doesn't mean that others should be somehow criticised for doing so.

[cocaine]

i dont see why people rip the **** out of people who buy rep?

at the end of the day its their money they're wasting.. so why is it your problem?

[DiscoPat]

Well said.

[le harry]

didn't you used to be a vip?

2 Years ago ;). That was when I was into using cc for online stuff, now I havnt touched the cc and just think its stupid :)

Edit: Reputation shouldn't even be sold, it defeats the whole purpose. You earn your reputation by doing good things around the forums, now since people have bought it the reputation system is just a joke.

[YoManGo!]

'Coz they want to?

Yup okay :rolleyes:

Sorry matey, didn't buy mine. ;)
Like 450 are from VIP, that is all.
