"Rank" on The Bump
uh, whats this do/for:
the graphic is titled "rank" on the bump. every now and then I see people with one or two squares colored in, but can't figure out what it really means...
anyone know? is it for the nest or the knot that we ended up having on our profile as bumpies?

Actually, it's not only post count I don't think but activity levels in relation to other posters on the next/bump. Last spring I had 3 or 4 then I stopped posting and the blue boxes turned white again because other users passed me or something.
I want to know how many posts you need before you're 'Gold'.
And the points thing just makes no sense
If you mouse over the green bars it will tell you why that person has them (i.e. top 200 contributor, top 150 contributor, etc). They are randomly given to posters that are "major" contributors to the bump.
The system is weird though and one day you will have nothing and for no good reason your next bar will appear.
You get there faster than you think.
I had three bumptangles on my other screen name.
whats a contributor? a person who posts a lot (posts of any type), or a person who adds quality topics???a person can "contribute" a lot of "
" type posts, a lot of drama, or just "congratulations" to a bunch of posts, or they could contribute thoughts and valuable info to others... just curious how The Bump decides....
The bump doesn't monitor what you say (unless you are reported) - so it is my understanding that it is a combination of post count, number of replies you receive to your posts, points etc. I obviously don't know the exact formula but someone that just responds with "this" to every topic most likely won't reach "contributor" status for a while!
FWIW, I have never seen a contributor with less than 10,000 posts.
thats what I figured. I've been on other boards where people join, then will post dumb stuff to EVERY post just to get higher ranks. like posts in all smileys and such. I'd hope people wouldn't be as abnoxious here, but ya never know.
