Wtf are these bars?

Ok, whats with the colored bars below my username?

I know they're the new "experience" system, but what does each represent?

I read the other thread, didn't really explain it in 5 year old terms like i need.

Thanks.

-Will

Interesting...

There are mainly four things visible for the users: The users score, his level, his next level up in %/points and his activity in %.


Calculation of the points

I think a lot of the forums that got eaten up by the company that now owns CobaltSS has this leveling system. The whole thing is slightly annoying if you ask me

of course she does, she makes a thread about her cats, and has 30 pages in an hour. I could put down 700whp on a TVS with dyno charts to match and my thread would take 3 days to reach a page

The forums are owned by the company that makes vBulletin, which means they have to throw every ridiculous thing that they can dream up at us to guinea pig for them.

I say exclude off-topic and the Dungeon from the calculations. That would boost me greatly.
