Never. 'Tis all mine.. MINE I SAY!!!

Before sometime early last year, I hardly posted on the BBS at all... Like maybe once every 2 days. But then I started using it more and now I get about 20-30 at least every day.

We'll see what your report says about that. ;)

Joe is gonna pass me in posts tomorrow if not tonight. I've been slacking off lately. Still spending a lot of time on the portal though (Joe passed me in points before I even got started).

Heh, since I don't really have much else to do, since I don't have to worry about ranking up, or working on the less than 200 vote list, I've been posting more.

Well I'm outta here for the night Joe. I expect to see you ahead by 25 posts tomorrow. Don't disappoint me buddy!

Haha, I probably will be.. Unless I decide to actually get some sleep tonight since I have school again tomorrow. And possible in-class midterms since they were cancelled due to snow. Don't want to be falling asleep if I have to take them. But I'll try.

I track both my points and votes. For the two days I have tracked so far, I have only voted 86,5% correctly. That's not as good as I would like it to be. I hope that tracking this can give me a better view of how to vote right. I go for a 95% average. Then I will be satisfied. And I did wonder "where my points went" because some days I vote A LOT and get only about 30-40 points. Then I'm unhappy.. as it looks now, my perception of how much I vote is just bad.. hehe.

Congrats to BMB on EGSL!

I remember reading somewhere on this forum that people looking at ur profile will gain u experience somehow. How is that meant to work and affect your experience?

Profile views as far as I know never gave a user experience.

However, profile views (from unique user IPs) used to raise and lower a ranking known as "Popularity". There's no more Popularity rankings on NG, however. People used to pull stupid stunts just for the purpose of raising their popularity. The most common of these was pretending to be female. Others would make intentionaly stupid BBS threads or reviews.

that was not exp that was for popularity points when some one viewed your profile you got a point. with that you could see if a lot of people viewed your profile you could see how you where ranked at people viewing every ones profile. they deleted it all becouse people started spamming and doing other stupid stuff to get people you view there profiles.

I never knew exactly how the popularity thing worked but it was kinda funny to see the imaginative ways people would get you to click on their profile. The highest I ever reached was 87. _lightning_, you made the top 50 when the popularity system was still working. Didn't you reach somewhere around 30?

Nice. Has HT deposited since NG got back up? (checks)...
Not yet, so you may get knocked down, not knowing your exact situation. Still good though :-)

I'm up to 7.50 vote power, three quarters of the way there. And I'm not getting knocked down from that.

Kool and the Gang.

Thanks doode. And what's the title ? is it "Celebrate good times" ? or something else ?

I think it's Celebration or something like that. Google for it I'd guess. To be honest, if you just shove Kool and the Gang into your p2p program it should be clear what it's called.

Welcome to the Guard.

Wow, there's nearly 500 of us now.

Damn, I still need about 430 points for the next rank...well, it should work in a week or 2

Well, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but it should at least help you answer a few questions. I'm not going to take credit for this one though. If you want to thank anyone for this information, it should be the creator of the Flash, NightElf121. I only help with the links.

Oh, and in other news, I just leveled up to Lv. 13. I've been waiting for this baseball bat for a while but on the other hand, I'm already starting to miss my barbed wire boxing glove. Still, I think that old boxing glove is going to make a bit of a reappearance tonight anyways. After humantarget52 makes his deposit for today, I'm going to be knocked back down to Lv. 12 for a few hours. But that's just fine. My next deposit's in about ten hours. I'll survive.

Just racked up my 2,000th blam a little bit ago. Yay for me.

Hey! Congrats on your baseball bat Biteme2514. I'm about to leave the baseball bussiness and into plumbing!

I need 105 points for my next rank up to Elite Guard Corporal. I hope that raises my voting power to a nice level.

Congrats, and another 2 % of voting power! :)

Congrats to everyone that levelled up or reached another landmark.
