I'm wondering if it's some kind of age drop out thing....and something similar with the rep system too!
What I'm getting at (badly I know), is maybe points are tied to something that fades out over time....in other words, old rep points count for nothing (how old I don't know of course), or maybe old posts count for nothing?...or maybe both?
Am I making sense?
As far as I'm aware, time on forum, number of posts and rep are the only variables that are used in deciding rep power (though admins get 10.)
My guesses are still not right – I think I might be wrong with the "one point of power per 3 years", but I think it's that sort of ball-park...
If you want to work it out methodically, it's important to note that the forum counts membership in days, not years, so it could be a value like "750 days."

Could someone give Under Par another 12 rep points, I want to see what happens when he gets to 2,000
OK folks, we have an answer!
The magic formula is:
1 rep power point for posting more than 10 posts
1 rep power point for every 4,000 posts
1 rep power point for every 1,250 reputation total
1 rep power point for every 2 years on the forum
I set up a spread sheet and analysed 54 profiles, all of which conformed to this model.
I confidently predict the following: Stuart38 is currently on 3,852 posts and has rep power 2, once he reaches 4,000 posts his rep power will increase to 3.
Go Stuart38!
So Fletch, only 1,500 more posts to get your next rep power point.........
ps If this model doesn't fit your profile, let me know.
Flipin heck best get on TPBM thread a bit more
and what you gone and done S38 for we will have to suffer another 248 of his posts now
only joking you know I love you S38 I missed you more than you missed me
No we just need to rep each other at every oppertunity
we could become rep tarts, and there are a few on here
or we could give in and gracefully and disappear never to be heard of again
don't get carried away everyone I wasn't serious
