Yeah, I lost about 200 karma (what was about 15% of my total) in the crash.

Good thing they're just silly internet points :)

I lost 25% of mine! A whole point!

I lost 50%

I hope at some point things reverse, and instead of accruing karma we shed it. When we reach zero--

Thank you for making my paltry 22 lost karma points look so, well, so paltry. ;-)

edit: to clarify "lost" karma

If this were reddit, you'd be getting tipped in Dogecoin as well.

Here, unfortunately, Internet play money is Serious Business.

Just gave you an internet point for having perspective.

And here I was wondering what I was being downvoted for. Turns out: nothing, a post just disappeared :)

Gave you a point so you can feel special again. Here's looking at you, kid.

Indeed, the first time I got something on main page and my karma skyrocketed from 5 to 80 something, I lost all.

Just internet points, fortunately :)

Well you're number 1 on bestcomments [0]. Apparently, this is the most effective way to rack up karma.

So, you had about 1333 points?

It looks like you've already exceeded that now... Well done! The internet gods must favour you.

I suspect the favour of the Internet Gods would be greater if the user had 1337 points ;)
