I went away for a few hours and returned to having made level 8! I'm confused though because all of a sudden I have 65k points and only 50K are needed to be level 8.
I don't pay much attention to my points or level, but I have noticed that I seem to have been stuck at level 8.3 for a very long time — and I still need to more than double my current points to reach level 9. But I think the first member to reach level 10 wins the website Willy Wonka style.
Congrats -it happens. Everytime I reach a level I always go over. Been working on Level 10 forever! Only 298,000 points to go!
That's most impressive. It shows great involvment.
I had the opposite once. I was away for a couple of months and my points went down!
I think it's because every now and again the site "audits" your points.
Have you ever tried calculating your "points rate"? (Divide your points by the number of days since you joined.)
Get a life!
@Marionville I have a busy one, because I love analysing "stuff". Some of my greatest ideas (which built my company reputation amd gained me much promotion) came from an ability to turn things inside out on the way to developing new circuitry or company policies.
However, I actually look for "offbeat" ideas for the sheer fun of it.
@Petter Calculating and analysing the points system on this site isn’t going to get you promoted, just thought of as an anally retentive nerd!
@Marionville Pass the bog paper, would you please?
( I've had all the promotion I need - I remain alive.for one thing, fun.)
@Petter Me too...!
@Marionville I love it whenever I can raise a smile or chuckle.
It is evidence you are more than you think! And thank you for being an active part of the community! BTW how does one actually get sent the t-shirt? I should be level 8 within the week.
When you reach level 8, you will get a notification... Reply to it with your info and they mail it to you...
@Cutiebeauty Thank you! It has been a long time coming and I hooe I have been a benifit to the community!
Decision time! Black T or Purple?!
I went for black...I like it with white pedal pushers in the summer.
I've been here for forty years. I forgot why. Something about pair of socks?
Those extra points are retroactive points you received after maxing out a point category or two...
And congratulations!
Thank you
Congrats on hitting level 8! Right after I hit 50,000 points last month, my points jumped to 57,000. I have no idea what happened, but now I feel cheated because you jumped higher than I did lol
See my comment above
@Cutiebeauty aha!!! Mystery solved! Thank you!!
@Bobbyzen I know about damn near everything having to do with points
@Cutiebeauty no further questions, pointsmeister. I reserve the right to recall the witness at a future time
@Bobbyzen oooookay
