What do the numbers next to our username mean?

I started yesterday too. I thinks it's your activity points, so the more you post, the more it increase P.S. Sorry for my poor English

it only means that those numbers are the number of posts that you make here in mylot. some old members here prefer to have a higher post if you want to be friends with them because they base on how active you are

Welcome to a wonderful community of people who are here to make friendships and a little bit of money. Those numbers are how many discussions you have done. I think that you are doing well for two days here. Be sure to read the FAQ for the site as they are very helpful to new members and they answer a lot of our questions when we are new. I wish you the best of luck here!
