EDIT: Or is that green thing under "New Member" (on my name, I guess I haven't spammed enough yet) my reputation?

Yup, the green thing would be your reputation.

I must say this skin is much nicer than the old one. I still prefer having bright text on a dark background but at least this skin is easier to use. |
Hopefully the arcade will be a good way of keeping people interested and active on the site, as well as introducing a sense of competition (just for fun though) between the members. Challenges can be issued and all sorts of fun stuff like that.

Probably not, but it's here as a gift to the existing members, and not something to draw in new people.

I do agree with that notion but I don't like having post counts being hidden completely. I may consider that if it goes back to the way it was once before, with people arguing about their worth based on their post count. Depending on how well the reputation system is used by you guys, this may become an option. I've never been particularly overjoyed at the amount of faith people put in post counts to show how good a forum member they are.

It's useful, but I'm curious to see if reputation could take over in that regard.
