This is a great idea.

Nice system. It's just interesting to track stats. Now I'll have an idea of how much time I spend here.

Good work guys.

Great idea. Will help with the fairness complaints from the sweepstakes. But isn't it a bit pointless for moderators though since they're usually not allowed to enter?

This seems like quite an elaborate system-I can't make head nor tail of the points scheme but I like the idea.

Alas there is no off-topic section anymore

Wonder if theres any extra points available for proof reading any of the reviews - if you guys need some help I'd be happy to help for nothing though.

I think this is a pretty good idea as well. But has it changed in the last few minutes? I could have sworn that it showed all three, points, level up, and activity. But now it only shows the level, well it still shows all three in the profile but not on the posts.

It did change, probably the admins fiddling with the options, since the three bars was a little busy for the postbit.

Ok good, for a moment I was starting to wonder if I was losing my mind.

We didn't want the stats overpowering the forum or taking up too much room so we added the level a user is at to the next level up bar and removed the other two. The full stats can still be viewed by clicking on a users name from a forum post.
