Could someone tell me about this karma thingy lol, apparently my karma is at 53% what does this mean? do i need to eat more pickled onions to improve it?
It's based on your input into the site I believe Scooter, what you post, the value of it's content..What you put in you get out...hence Karma. There's more to it than that, but I've never fully grasped it myself!!
The idea is to get as low a score as possible by being really nasty to all the other members. Depending on where they are in the hierarchy you get more points taken off. That's about it :-))

Matt's explanation
Karma is your reputation within the BikerMatch community. Karma is a way for other members to view your activity, status & popularity expressed as a percentage.
Your Karma percentage rating is based on your Karma compared with that of the member with the highest Karma on the website.
For example, if you have a Karma rating of 80 compared with 160 for someone else, then you have a 50% Karma rating.
How do I earn Karma?
Karma is a mathematical calculation that is only known by our site developers. We will not give out the secret behind Karma, so please don't ask!
We can however tell you that the following activity will change your Karma..
Posting in the forums
Chatting in the chatroom
Sending/Receiving Private Messages
Sending/Receiving Nods
Views of your profile
Uploading photos to your profile
Tagging yourself on event photos
Attending events
Subscribing as a full member
Visiting the site daily
Good/Bad votes from other members (in development)
You will gain points for some activity and loose points for others. For example, you will loose points for every day you are offline but will gain points every time someone views your profile. Each activity has a different "weighting" and so not every activity will necessarily change your Karma by the same amount.
Popular Members Pages
The "popular members" pages will instantly calculate everyone's Karma, then display those with the highest Karma who have been active in the past 14 days. The lists do not show inactive members even if they have a high Karma. The lists also don't include those who have no profile photo uploaded or have hidden profiles.
