The Countdown

What's wrong with seeing peoples point levels?
...or are you seeing more data than that?
I like it and also don't. I think I like it more than I don't but part of the fun was always wondering how far someone was from the next level. It drove me nuts but made it a little more mysterious. Don't mind me.

19,990. Getting there.

That's fair...and it is a bit fun not knowing...good point!

It's just always kinda cool looking at the "next level" thread and seeing "Hey, he just made SP! COOL!" Little too stalkerish being able to see IMHO. Then again, I like and don't like that.

What's funny is that you think of it as people looking up your level. How cute.
You are both on an activity report that @Minion-Queen gets daily. Lol.
-
Erm, I have no idea what you are all talking about. What is the Countdown?

I'm still on the report? Get the paddles, cause I've flatlined!

Scott's countdown to triple-PC, Rob's til PC and mine was to Mace.

Spiceworks levels. PC = Pure Capsacin.

Oh, I see. I have to say, this thread has turned into something of an anticlimax for me.

Not sure why...

I dunno, I thought it would be something more exciting. Like @scottalanmiller flying to the moon or something. I'm not really familiar with the workings of Spiceworks. Is triple-PC good?

You're not on SW?! Oh, that changes things. There are 3 PCs total out of the over 2 million total members and 5K or so active members. You have to have 250,000 points to hit PC. Scott is about to hit 750,000. You get 1 point for "spicing" up, or the equivalent of liking a thread, 10 points per thread you post on, regardless of how many posts you have on that thread, 50 for a BA, or best answer, and 25 for an HP, or helpful post. There are things like reviews you can do, which are 25 points each. All in all, Scott just spends, and has spent, way too much time on there. So his points level is insane.

But to answer your question, most people would get a ride to the moon before they hit triple PC. No exaggeration.

I have used spiceworks from time to time, but I'm not familiar with the points system. Will he get a prize or something?
I have 1,385 points. It may be a while before I get to triple PC.

No prize, just recognition. Scott's recognition has peaked, and did a long time ago. Everything he gains now is just fluff. However, Rob being the 4th PC will be huge news.

Yeah, just fake Internet points/bragging rights, really. I'm really hitting it hard before Spiceworld, mostly for the shout-out
The surprising bit here is that Yasaf Burshan was actually ahead of me until I reached 21,000 points out. I've overtaken him and am on target for PC by September 7th or so.

And in that spirit.

@Rob-Dunn , I knew about Yasaf. That's why I was surprised by you overtaking him. I thought you were in the 180K range. He never posts anymore. He just gets points from reports and plugins now.
