i don't really remember who gave me my 1st rep, but i do remember that LIP gave me my 1st and only neg-rep. that was awhile ago, pretty early on

the first person i gave rep to was when i made my first thread here and i asked some newbie questions about using and buying my own piece, i know shaitanx or whatever his name is was one of the people i +repped, there was somebody else, somebody who showed me HOW to rep (which i still think is hard to figure out for a new poster)
