How does Forum Activity work?

[bob123]

Hey guys,

I already read the FAQ.. but still dont understand it completely..
Activity is the lower value of Posts and "Time"..
Time = "amount of 2-week periods in which you have posted" * 14

I registered October 22 and have 66 Posts..


Since October 22nd.. there are 2 "2-week periods" (maybe 3 if you count it starting)..

So my Activity should be max. 42.. but its 56.



Since i have 66 posts.. i guess my activity is determined by "Time".. 56/14 = 4

So how is it possible that 4 "2-week-periods" have passed in the last 5 weeks??



What is the error in my mind.. pls help me

Because the periods are fixed and don't start when you sign up. You could sign up and post a day before the new activity period then the day after make another post and you would have a potential activity of 28 even though you've only been registered two days. Next period starts on the 8th and you can get another 14 activity then.
