Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Well, I have been on the forum for 5 years and my longevity is 62%. I believe it is just a measure of how long you have been around.

jeffweico is on the ball as usual :) based on date joined

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

I got 81% and I joined in 2008.
I believe it is also relative to the age of the forums.
Only 1 guy will ever have 100% - big boss man who started this all.

But you are quite value slokor :thumb: - contributions >> longetivity

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

I was kind of hoping it meant I was going to live longer.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Shorter in fact :( MM78 did a study.... :eek:

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Thank you for the kind words - youre doing pretty well yourself :hail:

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Yep! It's how long you have been a registered member relative to the age of the forum.. therefore as the first member of the forums I'm at 100%. :bounce:

While you are at it, could you share how Activity is calculated? Just curious.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

He just did:
The age of your account relative to the age of the forum.
That ratio keeps changing every day since your account ages but the forum ages as well. This means that the time to get from 80% longevity to 81% will be shorter than getting from 81% to 82%.
Hope that made sense.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Yes, but I was talking about the "Activity" metric, not longevity. Thanks though.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

My bad...
Activity relates to the number of daily posts you make on the forums.
The more you contribute the higher your 'activity' percentage. Max out your 5 posts every single day and youll see that activity percentage go up.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Yep, that's pretty much it with activity.

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

Mine must have declined when I was out for 4 months. Oh, well...

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

4 Months, that would do it for sure.

/vote to ban this member "Aspkin" - too much of an instigator :eek:

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
 

The only one to have 100%? How long was he the lone member before someone else joined? Did he have to discuss stealth with himself?

Re: what does longevity mean and does it ever increase?
