It's not at all unusual for points to take a bit of time to catch up to you. I think you just discovered this.

You can search groups here: [agnostic.com]
By topic, group name or by the Host's name.

This is the site tutorial which gives you links to a lot of resources you might find useful it's under the "Learn" tab just above this post: [agnostic.com]

And you appear to have your PM function shut off - to fix this click on the gear icon (It's between the bell and the envelop upper right). You want to check your "Who can contact you" settings.
I've attached a screenshot of what an open messaging account looks like.

Your level is 4 right now and idk why but I am unable to see the option for sending you a message. Did you do something with your settings or is it due to some other reason ?

thanks for all the help!

i only wanted to get to level three so i could respond to people without chatting so no i don't think this is a game LMAO

Did you answer the questions poised to you by the red robed guardian of the levels? You need to humbly approach the all knowing one and answer what ever question being asked. I did so when I was a lower level and was asked that age old question, "Why didn't Ono get along with Paul and the others"? Give your answer in a firm voice and you will be allowed to proceed with your leveling. Good luck. Questions vary from moment to moment and sometimes the gatekeeper wears faux fur robes.

Points.

Engage in conversations, join groups that interest you. The points will add up quickly... at least until you get to level 6, then it gets harder. Welcome and have fun.

Just participate.
If you're just here for the points and levels, you're wasting your time.

Why does everyone obsess with what level they have reached?
Is it a pyramid scheme or do we get a free pass to heaven when we reach a 100?

It looks like you have now reached level 3. Here's to reaching level 4!!!

Hey, you are already there. But here's more points to get you to four. You have a lovely profile, btw. I wish you the best.

Type, type, type, type.

Time, It takes much time (point a day?) just log in every day and a few years later - level 4 (you hit 3)

SARCASM ALERT: Oh, and like Zephyra sacrificing his young daughter, you must sacrifice the first thing that come out of your dwelling when you return form pillaging your neighbors because god really enjoys the smell of burning flesh. Oh wait, that's Old Testament Christianity/Judaism

I had to fight Wolverine with my bare hands to get to level three, but I found a hack! Unknown to the site developers, you can just comment on the posts and level up. It's a stupid bug.

Just keep posting and commenting on posts. The points will add up quickly. I got over 100 points with one post on Thanksgiving that resonated well with the community, but normally my points come in smaller increments.
