Oh! I made 10 points just by that little comment, so I guess once I hit this reply, I'll go up another 5 points. So, point system still seems to work!

@Julie808 The points are going up. I'm at 124,304 points. I went from 8.0 to 8.4 pretty quickly, but even though I'm participating at the same level, I've been stuck at level 8.4 for a few months, so I'm not understanding how that works.

I'm quite sure I will die at level 8.4. It's been stuck there for about a year.despite my activity level. How many points does it take to go up a tenth of a point in Lever 8?

Yes; upper levels seem to take forever to accumulate points.

Most of us here have gotten our shirts and pens...and I don't think I've seen/read about any further plans for more perks beyond the lower levels...

So just relax, and participate. It's fun.

@Robecology I never got anything. They told me they weren't doing that anymore, even though it's still in the membership information. No shirt, no pen, no service

@TheoryNumber3 Sad/sorry to read this! Tap "contact" below and ask about it, please?

@Robecology Sorry. I wasn't clear. The points are still going up, but I have been at level 8.4 for MONTHS. I'm just wondering where the intervals are between levels 8 and 9. It went from 8.0 to 8.4 very quickly and hasn't moved since. They don't seem to be at regular intervals.

At your suggestion, I just sent them a note.

@TheoryNumber3 I have that same issue. Been at 9.1 forever. What happened to 2, 3, 4, etc?

@DenoPenno Yes...I'm at 9.1 at what seems like forever.

I think there's some laziness in the admin...but it is a free site...so far....

@Robecology Yep... you get what you pay for...... sometimes
