Surprisingly (or not), we've had some times where users have cared "too much" about TPs of others and we've had a few TP-Gates.
Then there are people who simply don't care.
For people that do care, its probably worth noting that many people who were here for the 2010 Finals wagering TP points on the Celtics winning so a bunch of people just bounced back to zero after the Celts' loss and threw off their TP to Total Comment raios.
Yeah, mine have been wiped out a number of times. Every time the site has been 're-vamped' it zeroed out all posts and tps. The finals wager was the biggie, but then Kiorrik upped the ante the next year before the playoffs even began...darn you Kiorrik!!!
In all fairness, it seems the majority of tps come from game threads, which is about the only part of this site in which I don't partake. That is your best bet. I used to look at my ratio, but I am still pretty much a nobody around here; however, I just can't seem to stay away.
