You know, I get really jealous at all the interesting threads you guys make. My favorite is "Random quiz. How many will you get right?", that one made me laugh so hard...

The reason for there being a reputation is in it's name - If you make good posts that help other people, entertain other people, guide discussions, or you and your friends here always make each other laugh it's a reasonable indication of it. The best advice I can give to new forum users is to only post what you think is suitable and to learn about how that community works, then all the posts you make will be just instinct in the future

That sounded so cheesy but I think it's true! When I was younger I was always excited to make lots of posts and in the end all that did was clog up forums. Learnt better now
