I conceived & developed the karma component and paid a programmer to program it for TGS. I then "donated" it to the open source community which opened it up for other people to hack and modify it.

Some computer geek in Germany ran with it and made this new version which I just installed. It supposedly can karma for other stuff like posting images and other things.... Still learning... I just hope the damn thing works. If it does, I'll have to reprogram the modules on the right of the home page...

If this karma works, I'll port the current member karmas over.
