How the prestigiosity ratings became green!

<p>krillies and everyone,</p>

<p>hope your morning going well</p>

<p>No snow in Chicago :mad: Second brown Christmas in a row. Ah well, no doubt we’ll get ours soon enough.</p>

<p>Hmm… I bet I can make that Christmassy: :mad: :smiley: :mad: :smiley: :mad: :smiley: :mad: :D</p>

<p>That was like typing a tongue-twister lol.</p>

<p>I was able to rep griffen, dowzer, bookworm (I clicked on my own scale from two days ago to see what I’m worth and lo and behold, bookworm had repped me - must have fallen off the list before I saw it), niceday, and simplerules (now with a new light green square!). Have a happy day, everyone!</p>

<p>Holy Holly! Santa came down the chimney & left me a pile of green. Thank you to a bunch of greenie lovers for your collective effort to push me into the 2K dimension. I’ll be back later to stuff some stockings - right now I’ve got to sneak in the last sweet roll. Merry Christmas to all!</p>

<p>oh my, snowing in Texas now.</p>

<p>i sure hope we dont have to start a new thread about flights being cancelled.</p>

<p>Merry Christmas! I should have some more gifts to give this evening if I’m not otherwise celebrating!</p>

<p>I can’t wait til I am able to shower greenie gifts again… This is driving me nuts!!</p>

<p>I could give greenies to: simplerules, confetti, 12rhm18, griffen!! Many others I got the message to spread it around to others sooooo I will try to get back to those who have given to me (when I can!!).</p>

<p>Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas today!</p>

<p>Was just able to hit texaspg. Am curious as to how many it now sends. What’d you get, texas?</p>

<p>Thank you Jym! Your points are now like an inheritance bequest of small fortunes! Is it possible you are worth 70 or 73 points?</p>

<p>How many greenie points do you have?</p>

<p>Thanks to the kindness of strangers, who are helping me send a big whallop (when the cc powers that be release me from my 24 hr hold), I have just over 3500 now. So I think 73 is possible. Wahoo!! Who can I hit next???</p>

<p>I just hit mommusic.</p>

<p>sounds about right. 35 (greens) +23 (posts) +16 (years). LI would have to tell us why a point did not come through or may be you did not reach 3500 when you hit me.</p>

<p>No I was just over 3500 when I hit you, but maybe I now (thanks to this thread being in the forum and not the cafe) I have more posts??</p>

<p>I think I saw something about a cap on points for years but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>Well, until we hit 2013, the max most of us would have for years here is 16. But if the # can go up for every 100 posts, and rounds up (multiplying the post #, that would be 23.49 now for posts, and ??? 35 for greenie reps?? Whoa.</p>

<p>Got bovertine. Who else needs while I am reloaded??</p>

<p>Merry Christmas all! Will try to gift around some while I slip away from our holiday guests! shhh…</p>

<p>^^^
Thanks jym. I have to spread the love a bit before I can reciprocaate, and it won’t let me spread any more today. We’ll see tomorrow.</p>

<p>The exact calculations are still a theory, but are, as they say, close enough for government work. Individual elements within that calculation might be truncated at whole digits and then added together or calculated as 10-digit decimals and either truncated or rounded up at the .5 mark. </p>

<p>Lots of little nuances could cause minor rounding variations. I’m not sure, for example, if one gets 2 points for every calendar year, one point for 6 calendar months or if it’s calculated as 2 + 137/365ths years since registering.</p>

<p>Finally got back to you Krlilies then I was cut off again!!! So must wait again until I can give! </p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the greenies – I am about 400 points away from 2000!!!</p>
