Do you have to be "one of the cool kids" to get a sig by ATR?

Apologies for the bump, but a question just occurred to me. Why is it that on the little envelope icons to the left of threads, when there is an unread post in a thread the paper popping out of the envelope is sometimes yellow and sometimes white?
What's the difference?

I have a question, why was the former rep system removed? The Blue/Red Squares, I remember a poster saying that it was because too many people complained.. but I never saw an official word from an admin.. I am sure there was one I just never saw it myself.

And a follow up question, are there any plans in the works to implement some other type of rep system? Just curious. I for one like the board better without the rep system, and I believe I had a few positives and no negatives before it was removed.

I wonder how many and of which colour I would have at this point.

Is there a way to tell if someone quoted you so you can respond to their comments?

EDIT: Gonna make this a two parter...what exactly is CDC paste? I understand the reference and did some googling and searched up this thread but I have no idea what it actually is :/

Generally people who got negative rep just complained about it and blamed flaws in the system or perceived bias from the rep givers, instead of actually listening to the feedback. So the system wasn't having any of the intended impacts while at the same time creating a ton of extra work.

Sounds like the criminal justice system.

I'm sure Bingo wants to keep it private, but I would be interested to know what it costs out of pocket to keep CP online every month. I don't know anything about web hosting so I couldn't even ball park it. $50 or $500? I have no idea.

Since CP owns the server I'm guessing somewhere in the middle of your two estimates but even at the top end I'm sure he makes enough in adsense to pay for it. Just make sure you click on the ads every so often and you'll help him out.

From the man himself:

Very few people know exactly what it is made of since after sampling it the majority of their brain cells die. After that point all these people are good at are ranting about the glory of the Canucks nation, saying everything not a part of the Canucks is overrated and planning parade routes.
