@autobird, you are right, it will take a long time, but why worry?

Just to give you an idea, it’s been almost 4 years since I joined & just yesterday I hit 15,000 points achieving the rank of Avian Overlord & I distinctly remember it was 12/25, Christmas Day, when I hit 12,500 & the rank of Boss Hog. It looks like there are only 5 Sling Gods & 3 are Admins.

As @jtwade said, being active on the site earns you your Rank points; this is under the FAQ, but Forum posts likes this don’t earn any points. Unless there’s been a change, there’s no 2 per day limit on 5 points per comment, but as he said, the comment must be relevant. I’m sure you’re aware we can’t simply post our score on the Walkthrough page Comments as that’s what the Leaderboards are for. Once commenting on a page & earning the 5 points, subsequent comments on the page earn no additional points. I’ve seen Admins admonish members for stray, non-relevant comments, so it is important that they be on point, helpful & always polite.

Keeping an eye out for new releases & developing a new 3* strategy to post for the various levels will get you 5 points per level. It need not be a higher scoring strategy than either the ABN video or other posted strategy. Sometimes those of us who’ve been around for 4-5 yrs will develop tunnel vision & only think about new HighScore strategies forgetting that often new players or members are simply looking for a way to 3* the level or even to just pass the level. I know when I started playing & found this site I was just happy to pass a level, then 3* all levels, then it was for above average score on all levels etc, you get the idea.

When there’s a new Release, helping to narrow down the 3* minimum & posting the highest 2* & lowest 3* is a way to earn more points as it can be your 5 points per level/comment & eventually may earn you the Score Gatherer Badge.

Answering a new question on a page is yet another way & a great way to help newer players/members who are stuck on a level.

I just glanced at some of your activity & for the last 3 weeks, I’m seeing only Forum posts, which don’t earn us any points, so perhaps that’s why it seems like 20,000 will never happen. I’m not sure which games you’re playing but finding a way significantly participate on those particular levels will speed it up.

I don’t want to burst your Sling God as highest rank bubble, but for a long time I’ve been thinking about suggesting newer higher ranks for more than 20,000 points as eventually, we’ll all be Sling Gods if we hang around long enough.

Sorry about the length, but I wanted to hopefully give you some suggestions you may be able to use to boost your rank. GL out there.
