in reply to Notification of XP increase has gone wild (maybe)

The only plausible explanation I can think of is that one of your many dedicated fans undertook a systematic upvoting of hundreds of your old nodes ... hmmmm, 1nickt is a suspect, having once described davido as compulsively helpful ... ooops, I see I'm also a suspect! ;)

I've just added your recent unusual login experience to my list at Experience Point References and Pranks. My favourite from that list is Weird anomaly in brian_d_foy experience points - as it was unfolding, it was like reading a gripping mystery novel. :)

    That's a bit like a game of Telephone, eyepops. If you follow the link you provided you'll see that I offered "compulsively helpful" as an option to a poll ("My primary motivation for participating at Perl Monks is", and cited davido as the originator of that term ... and that I linked to his OP wherein he described a class of Perlmonks user, presumably but not necessarily including himself, with that term. Just for the record :-)

    And also for the record, I didn't go on an upvote binge, much as I am indeed a fan :-)

    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

      Well, this node deserves an upvote from me.

      (Full disclosure; I've had the pleasure of working with 1nickt for a number of years, sometimes on different components within the same initiative, other times just distantly within the same organization. If anyone's compulsively helpful, in a good way, it's him.)
