I just swallowed a cat, all I feel is woozy. (Just kidding.

I got a few reps for a thread I started, it was kinda special feeling, like I just got kissed by Frodo. *Sigh* Oh uh, where am I? Oh, right! Reputations!
I got a few reps, and felt special, then thought: "What are reputations for?" So I ask: What are they for?
