I'd like to trade my reputation for air miles on a 1:1 basis. I think Jeff and company should look into incentive programs that airline companies offer businesses for air miles.
I could then fulfill my Stack Overflow long dream of meeting Jon Skeet in person.*
Jeff, make it so!
*Turns out I'd need a lot more rep to get to Europe, and comments below appear to suggest that Jon is difficult to meet.
Why would I need air miles when I can simply order my transporter chief to take me anywhere in the world with the push of a button, or when I can simply order my android helmsman to take me across the galaxy in the blink of an eye?
I wouldn't trade my reputation as Star Fleet's greatest captain for anything!
Stack Overflow: The final frontier
These are the voyages of the awesome guy Welbog
His continuing mission:
To explore strange, new ideas
To seek out new noobs and new suggestions
To boldly answer what no one has answered before!
(duuun da da duuun da da duuuuun [that's the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme])
This seems like a joke, but seriously, wouldn't it be cool to be able to trade some of that excess rep for cool stuff like SO t-shirts*, mugs and stickers?
As long as we're not giving out rep to other users, I'm okay with converting rep into some more usable form of currency. What's a poor soul to do after they hit 10k anyway?
*Come on, picture it with me: "I hit 10k rep on Stack Overflow and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
