can anyone recall the first website to implement karma for user activity?

You can make a claim that Ebay did it with their user rating system. They were started in 1995 but I am not sure whether they had user ratings as part of their launch product.

Slashdot was the first I know of.

I've heard that it's cyclical, and doesn't have a beginning.
