Rep points won't be replacing Exp for Ace benefits: Ace membership just won't be a thing at all.
Though I don't get how Reputation was tied to EXP at all (given Ame's statement on lifting the rep giving per day)? Can anyone fill me in.
It seems like an interesting alternative, to say the least. Aside from the features of editing status updates (which regular members got access to a few days ago), closing your own threads, and entering the Ace sub-forums, I never looked into Ace Member benefits; I guess I'll see what comes our way.
