Now, I feel better about repping because I cannot make such a drastic difference with just one rep.

Yep.
With the old system, when users get heaps of posts and reps and more rep power just by simply staying on the forum, they can change newbie bars by heaps. And if one decides to neg rep a newbie for some reason, there goes their reputation of the forum newbie.
We had decided not to remove the rep system because some people might still like it. We want to fix this up but still keep the rep system to see how it goes. We can always remove the rep system later, but I personally think we haven't reached to the point where we need to yet.
