I don’t often makes posts outside of my daily pattern of posting in my three Music Groups, a new word and a quote each morning in respectively the Uncommon Word and Quotation Groups and possibly posting something in This Day in History. Oh I know I do post other things from time to time which I think may either be of interest or informative. Actually I don’t think I post an inordinate amount compared to many others here, although I do reply and respond to the posts of other members so that possibly accounts for the fact that I seem to be way ahead on levels and points by a very large margin.

I’ve now accumulated the staggering total of well over a million points…and still rising, and I reached the dizzying heights of level 10 more than two months ago. This feat took me 3years and two months to achieve and it was acknowledged by a few members who noticed, and to whom I thanked at the time. From the owners and administrators of the site though…absolute zero..not a word!

The point of this post is just to say thank you to all of you who interact with me and know me through my posts here. I venture to say that I even consider a handful of you to be friends by now…albeit that it’s unlikely that we will ever actually meet up for real given that the yawning chasm of the Atlantic separates our physical geographic locations.

Anyway, dear friends, even if there won’t be a reward for you when you cross that million threshold and join me here on 10…please know that I’ll be very pleased to greet you!

Level 8

I am struggling to 8 and I have resolved not To Push to 9 or 10 .

Your choice of brightening the site up with music (plus other intelligent comments not about music) got you to 10. That is your passion and we are all grateful for its presence. Except for some Muslims that is.
I think that music will never disappear from this site and THAT is your achievement plus your very presence. I am giving up looking at the numbers but I admit I got keen on this site by using them.

Thanks for such a sweet response to my post. I am gratified to hear that my music groups are appreciated and enjoyed…and my other contributions too!

Congratulations Marion! I can see I'm going to have to step up my game.

Aim high and get here too!

Level 9

You were a 10 before you got to 10 but congratulations. You're one of those people that always responds to almost everyone's post. And that is as important as posting.

My daughter wants to go to Ireland and if the world ever opens up again I'm a surprise you.

Thanks so much…you know my door will be open and waiting!

Level 10

It's going to be a while before I meet you at 10, I still have just under 300,000 to go. I enjoy your groups and thank you for hosting them. Like Lauren, I was afraid you were going to tell us you were leaving.

Sorry for frightening you! Just trying to encourage a few more to join me on 10!

Level 8

Mercy, for one brief moment there I thought you were leading up to your departure and I panicked! I'm SO glad I was so far off on that, because it would be heartbreaking. Your contributions are fundamental to the site, and one of the reasons I stay. I thought I'd congratulated you on reaching 10 but if not, I intended to, so belated congratulations and thank you so much, Marje!

I don't know if Admin has forgotten us so much as granted us our little bit of existence to carry on by ourselves, as he hasn't pulled the plug on the site, and some type of updates occur here and there. Perhaps he considers it a gift of sorts. Unless/until he does pull it, I don't think I'll ever attain 10, but I'll keep visiting you from 8. (^.^)

Thanks so much Lauren….you’re one of the reasons I come on site every day too!

Level 8

I think I hit 8 at the final T-shirt distribution. At this point don’t care about the points, just enjoy reading and commenting when I feel I have something to contribute.

Yes…me too. The points are pretty pointless!

Level 8

That's quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!!

I learned not to expect any rewards or appreciation for my participation here. When I reached 50,000 points the tee shirt the site promised didn't appear so I questioned the administrator and was told that they don't do that anymore, even though it still appears in the points chart to this day.

So I guess I have to ask... what is the point of the points? Oh well... virtue is its own reward, right?

Sorry you missed out on the T shirt. The points always were pretty pointless apart from it! I enjoy the interaction with others, and it’s especially interesting for me hearing the views and engaging with Americans, Canadians, Australians etc.

@Marionville I do enjoy the site, broken promises notwithstanding. There are some terrific people here and I enjoy the interaction. I only mentioned the non-existent tee shirt to underscore what you said about not receiving any acknowledgment for your accomplishment.

@TheoryNumber3 Thanks!

Level 9

I joined just a couple of weeks after you did, but I'm still level 9.1, but it doesn't mean much as it's only a number.

I enjoy this site, as well as one other....where I've made a handful of what I call my online pals where we write letters by email.

I do consider you one of my friends here, even though we don't ''know'' each other.

Yes Patricia I do count you in that handful too.

COOL,,, somtimes recognition---_ is not the point

Level 8

Since the admin. discontinued the prizes or gifts for achieving the higher point levels, I would say the point level system is now pretty irrelevant and meaningless, but if the milestone makes you happy, good for you... I doubt the site will be around a year from now anyway, and so many longtime members have either left or become inactive, I don't think as much about this site as I used to.

The milestone neither makes me happy or unhappy it is purely factual …as you say it’s pretty meaningless having the levels. I do enjoy the interactions though, that was the real point I was making !

Level 8

I think I may have congratulated you, but if I didn’t, I do so now.

Thanks….I think you already did Kathleen, and for that I do thank you.

@Marionville And, yes, I think we are on an unpiloted ship at this point.

@MsKathleen absolutely!
