  • It is interesting to see the rate of "progress" through the levels in some cases. There was a time when I used to discard all of my points regularly and start over (by asking the staff to reset them to 0). I called this operation "badgicide" -- to kill the badge. I think I did it 4 times, and I would say I hit the "professor" level within a week or two each time. When I got to level 25 or so I would do it again, I think that's the "Expert" level, but I really don't remember. So it took me about a year to become a "Sage", and now my rate of ascent is rather slow because I don't post nearly as much as I used to. But I've seen new users who've only been here a month whiz right past "Sage" and become "Maestro" it seems. A lot of that happens because they do a lot of moderating, of course. But someone who really focuses on producing lots of points and has lots of time on their hands can really peg the ascent meter!
  • Well, I have not quite reached Level 30 "Professor" yet. I am at level 28 right now, and have been on AB since August 5th...so just over 3 months. Hopefully I can reach "Professor" before December 5th...which would make it 4 months.
  • Very good for you. it didnt take me to long to get to "Professor". I should be a "Sage" today.
  • I got to level thirty in maybe...a month and a half, I guess. And that's virtually all answer points, which seem to be the least likely to bring in lots of points. I very rarely ask questions or moderate, but I answer like crazy. That's just how cool I am.
  • I made Sage in less than a month.
  • Over 2 years, but many of them were years when the number of members was low and not many people were giving ratings. Also for much of that time, ratings weren't in points but in letter grades, based on whether your answer was a. useful; b. somewhat useful; or c. not useful. I was at level 29 since the spring, when the levels were restructured and I have moved up a couple of levels in the last couple of weeks.
  • Congrats V of S, I just started yesterday so I gusee Ive got a long, long way to go.
  • Took me since August of this year to get there. I should be at level 37 shortly. Congrats!
