MyLot points method?

I am just wondering why sometimes when I post a new discussion or comment it increases the number next to my username and sometimes it doesn't. Is there any rhyme or reason to it? Which things earn me points (?) and what do the points mean? Also, what's the highest number of points someone has on here and how long did it take to reach?

Well, what is happening here, is that usually when you post back to a New discussion someone else has already started in here, your points will increase. Also the first time someone posts back to a New discussion that you start your points will increase in there as well. But when you repost back to someone your points do not change, and if you respond back to someone in a discussion and then that discussion gets removed your points will change there as well. For me, it happens all of the time, so all you can do, is post post post, and go from there. Not sure who has the highest amount of posts in here, but I am right now around 7377 at the time of this post, and I have been here just over 22 months. I know many with less time than me have higher, and many with more time than me that might still be active with less. It just depends on how much time you are willing to spend in here and what keeps you here each day as well.

You have already been given good advice here. Might I suggest you read the Guidelines & FAQS. Just over the discussion is a row of tabs. The last on the right is a myLot tab. You will fine the Guidelines & FAQs there. If you haven't explored the other tabs you might want to look at those too.
