But isn't that the way it's supposed to be? I have always thought of reputation on SO as a measure of the total usefulness of your answers. When people find your reply useful, they upvote you. It's thus only natural that long-standing useful answers will keep gathering points, because people will continue to find those answers useful. When your answers are no longer useful (say due to technology change), your points too will stop growing. |

Ideally this is how it would go, but in reality it's more likely your outdated question will just continue to get points while misinforming new users by recommending older methods.
