Looking for Red

I'm new to the forum (sort of, been searching without an account) and started a profile. Before I introduce myself, I have an odd request. I do not mean to be a nuisance but I really like the look of the reputation bar when it is red (as well as the little comment that pops up "XXXX is infamous around these parts" is too S***!:eg: ) Anyway, if anyone wants to contribute to my reputation feel free.

Okay, my name's Joel and I'm from the U.S. and I only own one 5mW 650nm pointer pen. I really like lasers but I can't see myself actually purchasing any serious ones in the near future. For now, I enjoy reading other people's builds and viewing their beam pictures. I hope to gain some new friends here at LPF and have a great time.

Edit: Red is my favorite color if it's not already obvious

Hello 638,

Welcome to the forum! There is plenty of red to be found around here, just check out DTR's site or Flaminpyro's FS threads. Be sure to read the stickies and fill out your profile! It helps if/when you need advice.

Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the welcome!:beer:

Weeeel, the problem with a neg reputation is it actually has effects down the line, even if you like the look of it :| I'd forego that, because, explaining to people that you just liked the look is gonna be a bit of a bear during trades and stuff...

I know you said you don't necessarily want to engage in those but it'd suck if you changed your mind down the line....

That said, if you DO change your mind, quick collecting rundown for you for reds:

671nm DPSS
633nm HeNe
635nm diode
650nm diode
680nm diode

...And then there's the red krypton line but we'll talk about that if you decide to go down that route Meanwhile, welcome

Thanks for the welcome but was the positive rep really necessary?
