How would it do that? You don't put in passwords, just usernames. I can't steal your account by knowing your name is R1masher.

People realized how pointless and useless the Karma system is that even the staff abandoned all upkeep for it, more than likely.

Calculate your current karma against how much karma you would have had by now, and also show what dates your account would reach higher user levels.

And I just tried it. Guess the recent changes to GameFAQs were enough to break its functionality.

The karma calculator was made by people unaffiliated with the website.

I wonder if Allen/Devin specifically blocked it. It's obviously still attempting to access the correct page, said information (karma and registration date+time) are still present as text on the page (and also in plaintext in the page source), and that information is also viewable even if someone viewing the page isn't signed in.

Seems kind of random but who knows.

I checked just now, TC is right, it doesn't work. Says the server IP was blocked by GameFAQs.

Short story was that it was IP blocked a few years ago not necessarily because of the karma calculator but possibly because of other websites on the shared host server so I had the idea to route requests through a freehost instead and that freehost account got deleted due to inactivity. Since the former ip block is gone I just removed the freehost middle man for now.
