This user name is an alias for my other user name, EKlumppJr.

Actually, I started this as an experiment to see how long it would take me to get to level 5.

I created this ID on 03 Jan. 06, and selected favorite shows and people, started tracking the staff and the same people as on my other ID.
On 04 Jan 06 I reached level 2.68, and made 25 subs for 29 CPs.
On 05 Jan 06 I reached level 4.34, and made 25 subs for 29 CPs.
On 06 Jan 06 I reached level 4.64, and made no subs, since I didn't get full level credit for the last subs.

Level 5 in 4 days! (and a lesson to those who want to know how to increase their level quickly)!

On 07 Jan 06 I reached level 5.63 and made 11 subs for 40 CPs.
On 08 Jan 06 I reached level 6.07 and made 11 subs for 88 CPs.
On 09 Jan 06 I reached level 6.45 and made 15 subs for 16 CPs.
On 10 Jan 06 I reached level 6.95 and made 25 subs for 25 CPs.
On 11 Jan 06 I reached level 7.68 and made 34 subs for 41 CPs.
On 13 Jan 06 I reached level 8.59 with no more subs made in between the two dates.

Since then I've only made a few subs, mostly to shows and people I edit under my other ID. I've had only a very limited amount of time to spend on the site for the last month, and so my rise in level slowed down a lot, but I started to use this ID to reply to the posts in the Support & User Submission Questions Board, instead of my primary ID.

I mostly use my primary ID to make subs to shows and people without editors, since they tend to get looked at much sooner; and use this one to make subs to shows and people that have editors (my primary ID's shows and people included). A note to those looking to increase their level with subs - make them to shows and people that have active editors, and you'll get them looked at much more quickly than those that go into the QoD, especially at lower levels.

Hey Ed. You've really made a lot of progress with your alias.

I know. You sure have.

I'm glad you did this experiment. I think it's important since so many people ask about it. This blog is a great way to monitor the progress and show new users how the site functions.

The counter is interesting as well.

Thanks, Al. I even used it as an example tonight to answer how someone can get to level 2, to make submissions, when one has to be level 2 to make subs. I said that I went to level 2.68 in one day, without making any submissions (or blogs, or reviews, for that matter). This should show anyone who needs to reach level five quickly, that it can be done, and even at least one way to do it.

Interesting. I'm new to all of this, so this is definitely a welcome heads up. Thanks.
