It seems alot of people might not know what the activity, longivity, and today bars mean. So allow me to explain it brefily.
Activity Bar:
The activity bar determines your amount of activity here on the forums. The way it works is rather simple. You can earn a total of 5 point per day on the forums. 1 point for just visting the forums, and 1 point for each post/thread made up to 4 points. Which means if you visted the site and made 5 post, you still only get 5 total points.This is to reduce people spaming to increase there activity. That being said, if you vist the site and make 4 post a day for 4 weeks stright, you will gain 100% activity.
Remember that 100% activity means that you've visited and posted 4 times each day for the past 4 weeks. If you've recently missed a post or visit, you cannot achieve 100% activity untill 4 weeks after that date. Especially if you've only missed once, it may seem like your activity bar is stuck, but if you keep active it will eventually rise.
Longivity Bar:
The logivity bar is very simple. Longevity is based off of the join date of the user with the oldest join date, the current date, and the join date of the user in question. If the oldest user joined a year ago, and a member joined 6 months ago, then that member would be displayed as having longevity of 50%.
Today Bar:
The today bar tells you the points you have earned for the day. 1 point for visting, which is in green. And 4 points for posting, which is in orange. If you hover over any of the bars it will display some information about the user in question.
So basicly, visit every day and contribute at least 4 post per day and you will gain 100% activity in no time!
