I could be wrong, but I have a feeling kcott knew all about that link (and other history of the Perl Monks Level system) ... but was reluctant to re-open old wounds. :)

Some more links on this topic:

• Voting/Experience System
• A Level Playing Field by Petruchio (2005) - new level system announced

• Re^2: The First Ten Perl Monks (vroom gives himself a million XP)
• We Have a New Pope by kcott (April 2013) - Corion tops 100,000 XP! (as at Nov 27, 2023 the Patriarchs are: BrowserUk 171872, Corion 160779, ikegami 140510)
• Re^3: We Have a New Pope - Spooty and khayos are saints with zero posts! AdamQuark and RavingGoat with 4 posts, cguevara and roke with 5

• Demotions of monks by syphilis (2022) - when and why were BrowserUk, Corion and ikegami demoted from Pope to Patriarch?
• Re^2: Demotions of monks by me - we need more levels between Patriarch and His Eminence
• Re^4: Demotions of monks by me - concerned for the super-elite top three, striving for vroom's unreachable one million XP target

Updated the current XP of BrowserUk, Corion, ikegami.

I'm sure he does, at least did he also participate in the linked thread.

I just have the - irritating for some - tendency to add more context to a thread, without meaning to reply directly to the previous monk.
