[QUOTE="Gulla, post: 5674983, member: 4272"] Well, I didn't say I hunted down the pearls of wisdom from Gary. I simply hunt down a new post of his each time I have found 30 or so pearls worthy of XP in the rest of the forums. Basically this initiative have made me use XP a lot more when I like a post as a quick "thanks" or "That was nice" rather than sitting on my XP like Scrooge giving it out only for the absolutely brilliant. I think the World in general, and ENWorld as an extension, would benefit greatly if we all could be better at giving out small positive reinforcement (like XP on a post we like) all the time :) So there you see. (I think) I'm becoming a (slightly) better person from this initiative and spending a little effort finding other posters who deserve XP so I can givie Gary XP again. A nice positive feedback loop, and I like to think that I improve (very slightly) the day of other posters I give XP to. :D [color=darkogane][B]Mod Edit:[/B] Sorry, but I had to remove the scatology. ~Umbran[/color] [/QUOTE]
