How so? it's not like they don't know it or I'm showing off... Just to be clear, it's not that I prefer the mentioned posters over the others, they were just the first examples to come to mind.
Farael, look back at what people have been saying about privacy over the last page or so. Many people do not like to have their names publicized here, simply because they consider reps a private thing.

Do you have a regular rotation of people you rep?
If the number of times I see the "You must spread more rep around first..." message is any indication, then yes, I do.

If so, how many people would you say are in your rotation?
Probably about 10-20.

Also, how often do you make an effort to step out of your "familiar" rotation and rep somebody you don't know/Why do you rep whom you rep? (Combined for purposes of ease)
I don't really do it on purpose. If I see something I like, I rep it. I typically rep in RPG's, the Books, sometimes in the QR or QQ for an outstanding question or answer, and sometimes in N&N if I see something I particularly like - and in WW, when I have the chance to play. But the amount of time I spend in the Books sort of comes and goes in streaks - it sort of depends on what threads I'm following and who is posting there. RPG's - I'm trying to make more of an effort to rep good posts there, because those are probably the posts I'm always happiest to get reps on myself (those and the Books). This is where I usually get that message that I need to spread rep around. I don't often go into the movies forum or the Mirth forum, though when I do I don't hesitate to rep there. Additionally, if an older thread is referenced in the Books section, I will usually read through it and often rep any good posts I find there.
