Is there a way to check my rep? Also sorry for being such a noob to these forums.

Well, you can go to your profile, here: http://www.toribash.com/forum/member.php?u=22054 Look at the little green window in the top right and hold your mouse over it for a description but only mods can check how many exact points you have.
You have .. . 10 reputation points.

well how many do i have?

NONE! YOU GET NOTHING!

aka 0.

just look at the bottom of your profile

What? So that means the default rep is 10? Heh, didnt know that

I think anyone who regged when we had the old forums has 0 points
and anyone who regged after we switched to this type of forum has 10 points

Oh, i see.
I will ask veb if you can set the default or if it is automaticly 10.
