An idea for newbies

Wow! Great idea! I started just last night and so I would definitely document it. Thanks!

I haven't done it yet hahahha like almost everyone here I always look at the star beside my name it's color plus the number inside the star .I was curious at that time and when there's nothing left to do I always make it a point to update my profile .

Oh no I have not documented my progress here in Mylot all I can remember was the feeling I had when I got my first best response and the time I reached my first 500 post coz it mean I can now enjoy the benefit of copy pasting as I really need it so bad. My internet connection is sometime bratty that it will just lost just before I could post my response so I had to compose again. Able to copy paste made my mylot experience better.

I have not done it. The only thing I remember is that my first star was a 6. I had a look at the way back machine as Owlwings suggests it, and there is a snapshot taken a few days after I joined in February 2010 : I had only (25) and 3 friends, all inactive actually. I have a bit of nostalgia now.

I never thought to keep track of any of my milestones here. Some sites have badges for reaching certain milestones. That might be an interesting thing for Mylot to add to our profiles. They could give us a new tab on the page to showcase our badges and have little graphics that would be awarded for things like activity rating, number of discussions started or responded to, number of best responses earned and so on. I wonder if they would ever add something like that here. I'd love to see some changes and updates to the layout, too. It's been the same since I joined. I'd probably grumble a bit if they did change it because it'd take me a while to find my way around again but a little change does us all good at times. There's probably a really good reason they haven't done it yet, though...

Well for me I don't monitor my points what I did I just open a discussion on topics I want learn more and participate to topics brought out by friends and other my lotters. It is almost more than a month since I first joined this site.

I have not done it but I feel it is a good idea indeed.

Although the guidelines don't want us to do milestones, it would be a nice thing to do.

Nope..NO "time in a bottle" for me...my GOLD is in the friendships I have enjoyed here, NOT my achievements. And if there were a myLot time capsule, I would just like to re-visit my original friends..the one's that encouraged me, to participate here...thru the good, the bad, the ugly! Some of those folks are lost to me..sadly.

. This is a very good idea and thanks so much for sharing. I too have missed the bus but at least there are others who won't. I wish to see the first who would do this. I wanna be part of history. I was excited when I reached the different levels y ou mentioned for I can do something already to make my participation here more enjoyable. Now, I am maintaining my star rating.

I have really not thought about it. But The first few weeks that I became active, I was always checking on that number beside my name, and really rarely noticed the star. But as far as I remember, when i started being active again on this site, I left it at 159. I was away for two years. And now it is more than 8000. I am just happy how far I have gone and still looking forward for more months and maybe years with this site.

Wow i think you should be really passionate about mylot to be able to do something like that ahahaha. i dont think newbies get that passion at once when they join to be able to document the day they joined haha. Maybe if they were an old user who deactivated their account and made a new one, they would do it,

I envy you, guys, you who have been here at mylot a long time already. And I really wish..really hoping I could learn everything there is about mylot because I am at loss, wondering what the stars are for and other mylot terms that are unfamiliar yet to me. I will definitely find time learning but at this point, I can only study little by little. The one thing I learned first, actually a tip, is to continue commenting and posting whenever I have the chance.

i have done it already and surprise for new color of the star after writing and reading in any of the discussion here, i am excited for the chapter of my mylot experience. thank you! :)

Well, that's really a good idea. I never thought of that, though I always felt good when I reached a certain milestone in mylot here, when I reached 100, 500, 1000, etc. But, I just didn't think of taking the screenshots and saving them. Though we can't go back, we can still keep our journey in mylot from today onward, especially mylot is going to change soon, perhaps it's good for us to remember the current mylot look and feel today.

hi allknowing thats a great idea and of course I never did that as a newbie. I think that could be a really nice objective for newcomers and might spur them on to further accomplishments here on mylot I wish I had done that when I first came here as it would be fun to look back on it.great idea allknowing.

I haven't try that.. I think that is great but time consuming...

Hmmm this is a good idea haha. Since I'm a newbie I could totally do this haha.
