Let someone else run this site
You, the administrator, has totally ruined this site, it was once a good site but when you single handedly award one user 300,000 points in a months time you have totally fucked the other users. And don't tell me I'm the only one who cares about points, if that were true you wouldn't be partial to some users while punishing others. Jackal22

whoa, i understand that some people have competitive natures, and enjoy the points system and sense of accomplishment that it may provide, knowing how many people out there you have helped in a month.... but (and please correct me if i am mistaken) a bug or exploit discovered and used by some to farm the points system and boost themselves to ridiculous totals... it's not as if they're cheating anyone out of a valuable reward of some kind.... because, as far as i understand, those points are just for pride, and probably to gauge whom in the community is the most active and knowledgeable.... so, since you weren't actually deprived of anything of tangible value, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for you to post a suggestion calling for the replacement of the administrator. you have no idea how much time and effort they put into keeping this site and community running. (neither do i, but from my understanding of what is required for the general upkeep of a site such as this, and given the rapid turnaround time for most reported bugs/glitches on this site, it sounds like a LOT of time gets put into keeping NTPS running as smoothly as it is, generally) being a technician myself, i can tell you that the end user really has no idea the amount of work taking place behind the scenes. so please, try asking the admin "hey, what's up with this issue i'm having?" or "something isn't right here; could you look into this when you get a chance?" before you start insulting, berating, and blaming them. that's just common courtesy, man.... and as far as your " if i were the only one who cared about points, you wouldn't be partial to some, punishing to others" comment goes... that doesn't even make any sense. (so, your premise is: because lots of poeple care about points, the admin then decides to treat users in an unequal fashion.).....why? how? and how/why would they treat everyone equally provided that no one cared about points??.... you make no sense at all on that one, Jackal22. anyways, you have no reason to trash the admin in a public comment and demand their termination and replacement, simply because A USER found a way to temporarily cheat and get more points (which are, in reality, worthless...as in "without any real tangible worth or value). personally, i think you owe the admin here an apology. publicly posted right here, since this is where you chose to make this previous post, for the entire community to see.
(by the way: thank you for all of your effort and time spent keeping this site and community up and running!!!)

That's why it's better to ask before coming to a conclusion. If you're talking about bubba, he helped me fix a bug that allowed users to mark a thread as correct as many times as the user wanted. Spammers were abusing this bug. I did not award points to anybody.
