I don't follow the karma values much, but good god. 10k? That should warrant a +10k bonus to your YC funding amount.

Funding equation should be modified to be:

   $5000 + $5000xN Founders + min(Karma, 10k)

edit: Alright, I suppose the red name is adequate.

the red name seriously sticks out, not in a bad way though...

I hope the number of page views per user per day is never shown. I'd be blushing. Congrats nickb.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but karma per comment would be interesting, too.

Good God I'm in the top 100? I've got to get off this site and get more work done.

If you use this site right, it will save you time and allow you to get more done!

PS: Thanks brlewis! I'll send you an email.

Got your email. Your super-secret identity is safe with me.

You were a few points away from the 10K mark when I submitted this, and passed it before my submission got its first upvote.

I have definitely made good use of the links and comments on this site. Haven't found a direct use for karma yet, but I'm hoping. Do you suppose if I catch up to Paul Buchheit's karma that he'll read drafts of my essays? :-)

I wish karma represented something useful:-/ It doesn't.

The last thing NickB needs is more Karma by posting this ;-)

The real irony would be if he posted this himself, and got upvoted for it.

This is really pretty amazing. If there are thousands of uniques to this site, I'm in the top fractional percentile measured by karma. Nickb has 5X my karma. Wow

first!

You've ruined our non-trivial discussion!

Duuuuude... ;-)
