    Are you still planning on doing something with all the old posts from the old site? You said there would be static html pages and we would get our posts back?

    Are you still going to implement the 'milestone' karma points that I remember being posted on here a couple of weeks ago? For example,

    Xx points for xx years on BA
    Xx points for xx total posts
    Xx points for xx total likes

    Is there any way to make sure lazy tickers don't get a point? I don't mind if people are ticking (I have a lot of ticking to update), but some people will just click 1 so the beer goes on their Hads. This runs counter to "Respect Beer."

    Any thoughts on this? A ticking police is too time-consuming, but maybe a script could monitor people who Had and select 1 several times in a row?

    speaking of pictures, I have 1 recently uploaded and 1 that's been waiting for a month to be approved. Why the long wait?

    I wonder who has the most karma points right now. I've seen a fellow SoCal BA with close to 13,000 points.

    I am fairly new to the site so dont remember it from before, but nice re addition. It would be cool if they had a list of top 250 BA by Karma

    I thought we weren't supposed to talk about karma...

    ...or have I just been here too long?

    I think that anyone who insists on suggesting how Beer Karma points should be calculated ought to lose all their Beer Karma points. No, wait.

    "Questions about Beer Karma will go unanswered" I think was the phrasing.

    I'm assuming once the bugs are all worked out, that will once again be the dictum.

    Either way, I'm glad to have it back. Makes me feel like I can accomplish something in my life.

    The original BA stats were instrumental in bringing out my ticker side, so I've missed them. Thanks for bringing them back and look forward to the ability to see the details to enhance my ticking activities. I have a lot more states and countries to go!
    PS to the purists, I'm a full glass/full review ticker; just like statistics.

    They update pictures of beers and places all at once/one day, rather than daily as they come in.

    I would like to be able to click on my States and Countries stats to see which States and Countries I've checked off and which ones I haven't hit yet. I suppose I could go into my had list and do it myself, but that's a waste of time.
