Gayle @sugartoes and I are talking.. We wonder what's the number next to our user IDs? e.g. Gayle is @sugartoes (444), I'm @drosophila (496), what does this number mean? I think it is the sum of all our activities on this site. i.e. Total discussions + Responses + Comments. Is this right? Or does this number mean something else? Maybe it's our unique beast tag?? What do you think it might be?

It is the sum of all your activities. Every comment, discussion, responses... And it goes up pretty quickly if you are active.

I had wondered if it wasnt everything added up as well so I am glad you started the discussion because now I know that is the right thinking about what the number is for

@Drosophila Yea it would be a lot better with a guide or just some kind of explination but maybe they thought it was more or less self explanitory Lol either way I wasnt sure Haha.

It would be handy if there's a guide on this kinda thing. Or a little explanation phrease when you hover your mouse over things.

Pic is mine. Number of total activity on myLot.
LOL! I just found this discussion, Wendy! I am very glad I knew the answer to this question well before the number in the picture was being shown to me, or I might have thought someone was taking my last name too literally!

@Drosophila Yeah, sishy caught this for me between comments I was making on my first thread. I thought it was really nice of her to do that! You like the way my first initial and my last name just happen to fit together, don't you, Wendy? LOL!

The number is total sum of our discussions, responses, mentions, comments and likes and if the sum total is on the high side and keep changing every other day, it shows that how 'active' a particular user is here on mylot.

Further down is the shocking maths, most user's think my actions worth about $0.008 cents/action!

@boiboing There's small hope of maybe one day, one can increase to $0.10 per action.. one can dream xD

I noticed that number when I started here last Oct. 7. Every time I post a discussion, write/like a comment, it goes up. So, I concluded it says about my activity here.
