But it's just your opinion that they need improved.. and the way you want to improve them.. is tacky... which is not what this forum is about.

There was nothing wrong with living in caves, humans just went along and improved things. There isn't anything wrong with the rep bars but we can go along and improve them. A more advanced rep bar might not be to your taste and this thread is to input your thoughts about my idea. It's clear that you don't like the idea and I thank you for sharing your thoughts about it, let's just not turn this thread into an argument. The drawing I posted probably doesn't do my idea any favours as it does look kind of tacky but try to imagine it in a neater and more compact form.

I'm sorry but the argument that there was nothing wrong with living in caves is an absolutely illogical argument :P You're making an analogy that simply doesn't make sense :P If you really want to turn this thread about caves then I will post all the reasons but I don't think its necessary.

please don't laugh at my drawing, I tried.

Not only would a rep bar like that look better but it would also give us something to aim for. A lot of people have reached the maximum reputation blocks but still have loads of extra rep points, fair enough they increase rep power but it would be a lot better if it increased our rep bars furthermore.

Please don't post saying "who cares about rep" because we wouldn't have rep if nobody cared about it.

In my opinion, the forums with loads and loads of rep bars do indeed look tacky. Also, they operate differently from HabboxForum. For example CHF where users have rep powers of 50 and can regularly win 1000 points, the system is borderline pointless. We aren't aiming to become like them, which is why we made the reputation changes so long ago.

PS: The bloody box tool and copy and paste on paint would have saved you so much heartache.

I'm getting very sick of that phrase. :rolleyes:

And yeah, i'm all for this, as i've been on full rep blocks for a long time, and I would like more blocks to aim for, like in different colours etc.

We already have something to aim for - get more posts and rep than Immenseman while he's inactive init.

Again, are you serious? :S You may aswell say, "there is nothing wrong with crawling, but we learn to walk and run when we grow up".

Nobody decided one day to sack off caves and build a house. It's called evolution. And plenty of people do live in caves and throw spears at animals actually. People even live in igloos for crying out loud! :P

I really don't think this would be an example of a significant aspect of life, whether it needs changing or not.

Lol +rep :P.

If you MUST change it, I'd just make the dark ones go bright green one by one once you reach what the current maximum is.

Me too. A lot of suggestions recently are unnecessarily getting the "don't fix what ain't broken" phrase (or something along those lines) thrown at them.

I wouldn't mind an extra colour, maybe a different shade of green, but I wouldn't like any different colours other than green.

the system is quite apt as it is.

anything else would look ugly.
