It is possible but the mods would see it and get the accounts banned. I am intrigued The Tenacious Tests sign me up.

With an endless arsenal of ALTs via VPNs and such... not impossible. :) Let it be known though that if a Tenacious Tests gang does appear I am not behind it! Just entertaining the idea. Gang members will have to sign up at their own risk...

Hi I am going for 77 posts pretty much than I will use my main account. Experience wise 10 points from Level 60 is were I retire.

Ah. I suppose that's somewhere around 37,770?

Yes it predates it. Only one point for flash is ancient and was most likely in the beginning of the portal days. Before the message of your vote was the last to... There was a blam and a save animation for the last person to vote.

Do miss those too.

Alas, there goes a potential save that could've been a blam point. :/ Don't think I've seen a screen like that in years though, wonder if it´s the benefit of higher VP or voting habits that fall in line with the majority...

Maybe one day but probably not try to get 10,000 reviews to be 5x10k listed

Yeah the Hexalist will definitely be around for some time at least. :) Medals, though? Doesn't seem impossible either.

Ah. I suppose that's somewhere around 37,770?

It's 38,630 witch is 10 points before 60

5000 blams! Yay! How many years to 10k do you think?

Longer than 13, that's all I know.

I guess I am sure theres a wiki or post about the good ol' days. I can't recall the vault graphic if I saw it I would probably remember.

I suppose it could happen it whether or not if it possible but would someone do it today.

Yeah someday some user will get 77,777 posts.

I just checked and number 150 in experience is cyberdevil with 38,270 and number 149 is @varien with 38,600 exp.

There is a saved version on the wiki:

I recall those times.. you always had the option to deposit 2, 4, 6, 8, or the full 10 points for the day and then it just became 10 points each day during the 2009 redesign.

I wish we could still partially deposit points as well as the full 10

Oh I remember now. That was before autodeposit and after Pico walking down graph and break dancing if am not correct.

Wut, I thought it was only ten since maybe post-2001 or 02. 2009 must be when it was automatic.

I thought I'd dig it up and post it but seems I might not actually have it saved. :/ My nostalgia stash is lacking one particularly important piece. Super bummer... as for posts there's definitely been plenty of mentions both in official posts and otherwise, though would be cool if there was a collective one. Don't think I've seen one.

NG Archives was pretty useful when it was around too.

That's the big question indeed. Seems risky. People today don't seem as willing to take risks; especially not for lulz or potential blam surplus.

Seems so far away, but much lower amounts have seemed so much further in the past too. Looking forward to that day!

Awesome. :)

Would be nice for those who want an exp amount between 1-9 (as when you sign up you also have the chance to gain an extra 5 or 10 points right off the bat).

@tomfulp I would like that to come back as I would like to have 4 at the end of my exp

When the new system launches you will earn XP 2 at a time (makes me wonder if we need a way to get just 1)... And yes that new system IS coming.

I would have just gone for 10 anyways if I knew about it.

I probably have so nostalgic images save on my PC. I use a laptop now primarily for all things to do with browsing the web.

I concur to much risk involved I don't know what consequences serial bad flash submitters receive.

I have been stuck on 13,xxx posts since 2008 I might try for 15K. I need to try for 10k medals and reviews to be Hexalisted.

I think I did better when you had to click the link to deposit your experience. I probably miss 2 weeks of deposits each year. I dropped a rank or two in the past couple of years. Cooper is gone so I don't have competition now.

2000 - 2003 I believe you had the option to gain exp by recommending others to NG but it was eventually stopped when it was seen that some users were exploiting the system by referring alts for themself to gain a lot of exp fast. 2003 - 2007 allowed for depositing in the amounts of 2, 4 ,6 ,8, or the full 10 points.

Hmm I guess I missed that. I did't catch people were exploiting the system I was keeping a keen eye on Top exp users and 2x10K Pentalists back in 2005-2007.

If you ever dig some of those up: super interested! :D

Well basically Aksumka got tired of maintaining it, and felt like he didn't have time to update it with newer resources either. With a server move the structure collapsed and he didn't feel like there was time/ the place was active enough to merit fixing it. He did ask if someone wanted to take over, I sent a message asking if I could but it might've been a bit late. He doesn't seem to be very active here anymore. No response. Do have some of the files saved, but not sure about everything.

I concur to much risk involved I don't know what consequences serial bad flash submitters receive.

Yupp.
