About the growth of the forum and it's consequences on the reputation system

[BigBallsLarry]

In november 2025 - 6 months ago - the forum achieved a major goal and hit 100 thousand registered users (not including deleted accounts)

100 000 registered users

Good evening everyone, in today's org weather broadcast we can tell you you can expect a fivefold of the "rate my friend" with the OP prefix threads, a sixfold in "mewing" and "waterpulling" threads, an eightfold in "hymen" profile posts made under virgin profiles and a happy staff team...

looksmax.org

Keep in mind, it took almost 7 years to achieve this. 7 years of hard work, lookism growing outside of the forum, and slow growth.

In the 6 months since then, that number almost doubled:

in just 6 months, the forum saw the same growth that it saw over SEVEN YEARS.

This is roughly 12 thousand members being approved each month, as opposed to the 1 thousand a month during the first 7 years.

I saw the thread by @Gargantuan and it genuinely shocked me - because even though i joined in late 2025 - 7 years after the forum was made, i'm still in the first half of the combined forum members.

(his graph)

When i joined, the forum had just 70000 members, and yet people are acting as if the forum right now, is the same exact forum it was a year ago.

about reputation:

There's people complaining about rep ratios not mattering anymore because of 'repfarming', when the reality is, that it's not that everyone repfarms, but the sheer amount of users active making rep way easier to gain.

People, especially users that joined before 2025, got used to reputation being an exclusive thing, as if having reputation meant something - which was the case, when the forum had less than 50k active registered users - now it has 3 times that, so with that logic, you can expect the average reputation to grow by 3 times aswell.

When i joined, getting 15+ reps in your posts meant making a good and intresting offtopic post. Now, that minimal number grew to 30+. Same as post to rep ratios, when 3 used to be outstanding before, now you see LITERAL RANDOMS with it.

It's not really something that matters much. It doesn't affect the forum state in any way, and it's pretty hillarious to see people crashing out on it.

You NEED to get with the times, because at this growth rate, by 2027, every post will be getting countless of reps from the upcoming 300 thousand registered users. A 4 ratio will be the norm.

I'm just awaiting the time for reputation to be removed as a whole.

I'm sowey for being a cute little Grey who knows nothing

 

[BigBallsLarry]

basically a user that was getting 2 reps per post in 2024, will be getting 6 reps per post now, simply because of user growth, not because they actually improved as a user or repfarmed.

High IQ thread

 

[BigBallsLarry]

When u become a mod thinking shit sweet but now u genuinely gotta accept 2 thousand users a month to keep your job u work free for and check all the “@mods” tags everyday

sub mods are approval slaves, i actually had it confirmed that they basically have 0 perms outside of approvals and managing threads in their category.

whenever they look for new sub mods, it basically means they cant keep up with the approval queue

and they do this for free aswell.

 

[Asa*]

I read (or skimmed) most of gargantuan's thread earlier. Was/is there a reason for the massive surge?

@Sayori over for u

 

[BigBallsLarry]

So you want us to not rep as much?

No, i'm saying it doesn't matter. People act as if everyone is repfarming nowadays but it's just the forum growth doing it's thing, with every month it'll be way easier to gain reputation, and that's not a bad thing.

good advertising and tiktok drama mainly i'd guess.

 

[BigBallsLarry]

People act as if everyone is repfarming nowadays

surely the tiktokfags will drop it after a year?

they always move on to something diffrent

 

[LXR]

Good rep ratio is 20:1. 50:1 and above is legendary

 

[81xa]

surely the tiktokfags will drop it after a year?

of course they will their attention spans are fried
but at the same time new tiktokfags will join as well
lookmsax gets more popular every day

this forum is nowhere near it's peak with how looksmaxing is growing, the space is becoming more and more popular each day, even though it's in a pretty bad light

movin to india to be with l1mabal and will ldar on tire accelerating games

[LTG]

When i joined, getting 15+ reps in your posts meant making a good and intresting offtopic post.

congrats

 

[Nodal]

the forum has lost it and will slowly keep losing it 99% of 26cel and 25cels are offtopic rotters i think 25s are better than 26 in terms of lm but still everyone that join is coming to rot the ones who are about lm get dismotivated and leave the forum before even leaving grey
the main reason for offtopic and rotting popularity is repfarming

reputation is the main reason for all this it leads ppl to rot in offtopic to feel validation since it easier than making a guide
and i dont think master cares enough about lm that he is willing to take the black lash for removing reps

there isnt much hope left for the forum

 

[youriblamegenetics]

that's ok i accept all greycels as my children

me too??

 

[BigBallsLarry]

me too??

yes

 

[Applejack]

well this thread doesn't eliminate the facts that there are SOME repfarmers...

Dude, back in the day I voted for your uhh goth girl avi, then you sent some good pics in dms. Milkgore was her name.

 

[fartsniffer1135]

[inversions]

Saw some greycel flex a 1:4 ratio yesterday like he wasn't tagging 10 users per thread

It's a mixture of unenforced repfarming and forum growth

exactly my point bro

 

[kisslessvirgin]

basically a user that was getting 2 reps per post in 2024, will be getting 6 reps per post now, simply because of user growth, not because they actually improved as a user or repfarmed.

I think mine is glitched yo

 

[BigBallsLarry]

I think mine is glitched yo

in 2024 you'd have 5000 reps instead of 12000

 

[exvh]

I dont know, I think its harder for me to find a post that im willing to click on nowadays. Most are just random topics then tagging 10 people at the bottom. Most posts are slop (I mean not like I make the most informative posts but its just my opinion). These recent forum state ones are interesting tho.

 

[Daddy's Home]

I kinda wish @Master remove the rep system in general, and bring back the time online instead

 

[pslgod15]

the greyfags always dont give rep i hate them

sub mods are approval slaves, i actually had it confirmed that they basically have 0 perms outside of approvals and managing threads in their category.
