How the prestigiosity ratings became green!

<p>griffen-
Thanks, but am still a little bit shy of the 2500 finish line</p>

<p>so how many points is Jym worth now?</p>

<p>Just had a stray one arrive. Did that push you over 2500, jym?</p>

<p>Jym, your PM box is full. I have 1226 points, so if you have any greenies left to bestow, I can calculate your current wattage. Just got home from taking College Boy (S2) to lunch. He came home last night & brought a surprise present with him: a grandpuppy! (OK, she’s 2 yrs old, but still acts like a puppy.)</p>

<p>JYM, I am still not allowed to,show u gratitude. It would have been fun to send you over the rainbow.</p>

<p>Wow, xigs just packed a 60-pt wallop!</p>

<p>ooh someone tipped me over- I think it was 12rmh18 but also someone else anonymous. Ok, griffen tell me my previous reps were worth 62 pts. I want to test now that I am over 2500 but I am tapped out for the day :frowning: Grrr…</p>

<p>So you don’t see me on your control panel screen? I gave only an hour ago, it should have knocked you over at the time. :(</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If my calculation guesses are correct, you should have been giving 62 points when you were worth between 2300 and 2399 green square points. As follows:
8 years: 16 points
11,500+ posts: 23 points
2300-2399 green square points: 23 points</p>

<p>Total: 16 + 23 + 23 = 62 points</p>

<p>Conclusions:

  1. Your rep power definitely continues to increase beyond 2000 points, even if there are no obvious outward signs to others
  2. Your next rep (while in the 2500-2599 range) should be worth 64 points.</p>

<p>What’s your number, young xiggi ;)?</p>

<p>Moreover, please don’t get Xiggi started again with number questions! :(</p>

<p>I am partially recharged. Anyone need/want a few points?</p>

<p>Lorem-
If post 798 is to me, I can see reps back to 8:44 this morning. I dont see any with your name on it, but the last 2 occurred at 2:33 (comments written but poster not identified) and 2:58 (12rmh18) and I am now at 2538. So based on your post #793, I gather the anonymous bump at 2:33 was you , as the time matches up. Thanks!! Can you calculate how much came from you and how much from 12rmh18? Looks like xig just bestowed major points on him/her at 3:19, so keep that in mind. I am still in awe of how you calculate tis stuff.</p>

<p>Lemme see if I can hit anyone yet. Last I tried the coffers were still dry.</p>

<p>** nope–still dry…</p>

<p>Congratulations jym! :slight_smile: New heights!!</p>

<p>I’d be glad if the overlords would just disburse my greenies so I could get on with it…by my calculations they’re late today. <grump></grump></p>

<p>Well, then, the new software still has bugs, because I always leave a comment. But I do lose an occasional post attempt, too, due to glitches. I’m sure it’s not easy running a server with this much traffic. Not quite Amazon, but probably beyond the scale my kids deal with.</p>

<p>Edit: Oh – it could be I forgot to sign that one. Something I usually do automatically. With a “hope this gets you over 2500” comment?</p>

<p>^ There was a comment-- it just wasnt signed, so I couldnt tell who it was from. Yes, it was something like that- so must have been you! Someone else an hour or so before referenced the target 2500 # but I was still not in the endzone yet.</p>

<p>not totally agree</p>

<p>Ok, this isn’t related, but is funny. Someone on another thread mentioned “the stupidest reasons our kids decide not to apply to a certain school” thread, so I decided to search for it. I didn’t find it with the full search, so I searched on “stupid decide apply” and what came up?</p>

<p>I believe some people hacked into the system to steal my power.
I still cannot give squares after many posts today.</p>

<p>Coolweather, your rep powers are not restored based on the X number of posts you make in a day or so.
