    I have taken quite a break, but now back to brewing. I joined in 2004 and have only 213 points? I guess some disappeared a few years ago.

    Anyhow anyone else old on here with almost no points? Haha. I used to be an active member trading and brewing but had kids. Now that they are old enough to entertain themselves while I brew, I am back.

    Somehow treehouse and toppling Goliath have taken the reins since I been gone. Never heard of treehouse. Guess they are pretty good?

    Tree House holds seven of the top 25 spots in the Top Rated Beers list. Unfortunately, I have had zero of their beers. :slight_frown:

    First rule of beer karma is don't talk about beer karma.

    Welcome back from your self-imposed exile, calir1. You're one of a small group who have been here longer than I have. Be sure to spend some time in the homebrewing forum between your brewing sessions.

    Don't worry about reviewing, points etc. If you do that I think you miss the purpose that this site hopefully has for most of us and that is to enjoy beer and share your experiences with it as you can as well as enjoying what others post. What do you mean by points ?

    Each does things here and on other forums in their own way and how they feel suits them best. For example in the WBAYDN thread most post pics they have taken of what they are having. I rarely do, sometimes I post a stock pic and sometimes none at all. Another example might be in how one distributes likes. For me it is usually a beer I am familiar with, but on occasion because of the pictures non beer related or the music that is with the post. If it does fit one of those it probably will not get a like, but that's just me.

    The key is to have fun, respect those here and respect beer !

    You've got a year head start on me, but you're well over 200 points!

    Well you got me beat in points and longevity, but I still might make the playoffs (Western conference).
    I do try to be the best beer advocate possible in all walks of my life.
    And this site continues to be the standard as far as I'm concerned :slight_smile:

    Almost 10 years on the site but less than 100 points. Go figure. Almost 200 trades, but mostly before the rating system was started.

    I'm back after going through cocktail and wine phases. Never posted a whole lot, but have put in a few reviews and comments.

    I guess I have relatively few "points" for my age. But who really cares? Welcome back.

    I think we have a winner!

    Although the karma calculations are secret now, it used to be that receiving a minimum number of "likes" granted karma. If that's still the case and this post gets a bunch of likes, you might break your zero score!

    I've been around since 2008 and I'm only sitting at 220. I don't trade, review or post a whole lot, but enjoy reading other peoples experiences and looking at all of the beer **** in the "Post a Pic of your latest haul" and WBAYDN? threads.

    I was pretty active when I first joined but now I'll log in once every couple of months or so.

    I do lurk daily to keep up with the threads, articles and city bar/restaurant reviews. The location reviews are particularly helpful when my son has an out of state hockey tournament. :slight_smile:
