People are leveling up already...

Ah, thank you Snowknight, I didn't know the algorith to it before now. I did know that it was on some sort of exponential growth curve, requiring more posts to advance the more levels you had, but not (log10 [Postcount]^3) + 1.

How ya doing, buddy?

Plus, in order to get to level 25, you'd need log(x^3) = 24, log(x) = 8, or x = 100,000,000 posts.

The parentheses are mismatched in bobo's equation; I believe he left off one at the very beginning or inserted an extra one after the three. I think the formula should be:

log(POSTCOUNT) ^ 3 + 1

I took a few random high, medium, and low posters and tested that formula, and everything agrees with the displayed level numbers.

this is what I do when I'm bored

Ohh... that does make more sense.

Thanks for clearing that up! Seriously.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
