I dunno... that's the way it seems, though.

I find that doubtful, due to the percentage caps Soulreavercross had in his Levelling Guide.

Unfortunately, another mod replaced the Guide, and it doesn't have the daily percentage caps in it.

I just thought it updated daily.

It does...and at odd times too.:lol:

It's supposed to start at 4:00 AM PDT, but if you're on during the wee hours - I've jumped up in % as early as 2:00 AM GS time.:lol:

After I dragged myself across the lvl 21 finish line for the 5th or 6th time, I stopped paying any attention to levels. Post count means more to me, but only in the sense that I wish i didn't have as many posts as i have. It's kinda' embarassing, to me.

[size=11]I wonder why they removed those? It was a good resource... [/size]

I agree...Like yourself, I miss the old Guide, as it had more info within.

I guess lvl because having a low lvl means you cant do certain stuff like post pics and make polls etc. But really its not that important to me cos i dont get modded enough for it to drop too low

There is more embarrassing things in life. If anything, this keeps you connected to different parts of the world and cultures. You are now a well rounded person, in a weird OT sort of way....

You're welcome.

I never could understand why some people were going out of their way to pick on you, way back when.

Seemed uncalled-for, imo.

I personally would agree with you, but people (in "real" life) are reflecting this opinion of disdain on me, I can actually read the teleprompter in their eyes going "ok, you have no life but whatever". :P

I don't particularly like looking at post count myself....but to put a positive spin on it....means I've found things to talk about with people I'd otherwise not have had the opportunity to meet....

Yeah, there are definitely good reasons to not have any negative feelings or thoughts about it, it's such a small and entirely irrelevant thing really, and if anything, it does attest to the notion that something of personal interest and pursuit has been found, putting it in the category of personal hobbies. It's just not accepted as a hobby in the broad social normative sense, which is where the slight dash of embarassment on my own behalf stems from.

Neither. I don't think tenure is what gets you respect, either here or in the real world. Post count is no measure of quality, but just quantity. Level is merely how long you've been here, but even that is inaccurate really as the moderation system seems to cleave off huge chunks of your user level these days.

I think I have been level 36 for like a year due to that.. But in the end its pointless, I don't even pay attention to it because it denotes nothing.

I didn't have much of a post count then, I was mostly reading.

But like a lot of other people here, I don't see the need to troll others.

I've been trolled some, and it took a lot for me to ignore it. I dunno how I did it, it wasn't easy by a long shot.:P
