Doesn't he have a girl and a boy bulldog? I'd dye the girl blue with blueberries and the boy pink with cranberry or tomato juice. Make sure you stomp your feet a few times also.

I doubt Jason did it tho(he's not that smart :P ) some math dude probably figure out that if they didn't spread them out better everybody would be at the same level pretty soon and you couldn't tell who was good and active and who wasn't. I'm surprised they haven't started having your points fall off after so long so that only active people stay at a high level. It might be totaly automated based on a exponential curve which gets adjusted as more people join the Mahalo answers and more people move up the ranks. I'm 20 points from the next level also. I'm betting they move the number just like with you.

Good Luck!!!

I have a strange feeling Taurus and Fondue would have issue with at least one of your ideas, though it would give them a chance to re-create this picture (albeit with a slight redish tint this time)

I do believe this time, since you are the undisputed queen, the belt levels may well stay so you will receive that which you so obviously deserve! :)

(and if not I say we egg his Tesla... I'll buy the eggs... you have to commit the crime though)

yup.  it's a matter of time.  i used to have a purple belt.  but you know what?  it doesn't matter.  you still have your points. 

and purple is such a nicer color than brown.

"Alpha children wear grey They work much harder than we do, because
they're so frightfully clever. I'm really awfuly glad I'm a Beta, because I
don't work so hard. And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas.
Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no,
I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to
be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly
colour. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."

Dear Darcy,

I would advise you to leave. Sorry, but grow up; it's only the internet. And please, stop with all the hate. Seriously.

Mahalo Answers is a service, provided as-is, without warranty of any kind, or promise to keep belt levels the same all the time. Why not set your ego to be the top-ranking Mahalo Answers member aside, stop worrying about what color belt you are (petty, right?), and just keep kicking ass and being the most helpful person on Mahalo Answers, or whatever site you choose? Isn't that enough? As far as I know, nobody forced you to spend all your waking hours here. You're here by choice, like the rest of us.

Appreciate what you have, because all the people you've helped sure appreciate you--regardless of what color your digital belt on a site that's in beta may be.

Sincerely,

Mike

Wishing you luck with the Brown Belt Darcy, you can do it! Get the Nintendo Wii, you've earned it!  Then become a Nintendo champion, and prove to the world that you were not only one of the best answerers on Mahalo Answers, yet you also are one of the best video game players in the world.  Shock Jason, win some video game championship, now that would be funny

If he raises it again we will all lose, because i'm positive that people will start leaving so there will be less questions/answers.  the point levels are too high as is.

I actually don't think that it will be raised again. It's been a good month or so since you have gotten close to the belt level, and I think it's clear that you participate on Answers significantly more than others. I myself was keeping up with you for a while but have slowed down a lot. Users other than Queen Darcy will take between 3-6 months to hit Brown belt.

So I think you're good to get your brown belt soon.

Although I'd pay a lot to see Taurus and Fondue tinted pink, if only for a little while.

I don't know whether the points will change. But it does seem apropos to give my two cents worth on the belt colors. Sure they're taken from the martial arts, but why be stuck with them? This is computer stuff. Computers have 2^24 colors and even the very oldest that I remember (and I'm old) had 16 (not counting monochrome days). Let's have lots of levels with lots of colors! And brown and black are so ugly and boring! More bright colors for belts!
