Hey thanks to @Scrivener and @hawaii who have been working their friends lists... we are less than 1000 listeners away from getting the mosh-pit badge! Saw the highest member count to date yesterday with 4012 people online around 3 pm. Did you notice when T61lowered the requirement from 10-thousand to 5-thousand listeners to earn the mosh pit badge? And inquiring minds still want to know what @scrivener is drinking to get up to level 10 so quickly?

I did notice that, and found it interesting. Is the site not growing as quickly as the guys had anticipated, or are they trying to keep excitement up by making those points easier to get? The most I've seen online at one time is 3000+, but I don't look at that number very often.

I'm not at level 10 yet! I'm crawling my way there, but where I was 1000+ points ahead of @hawaii last night, I am now only 300+ points ahead. I went on a mad bumping spree late last night.

As for what I am drinking? Mostly, I'm maxing out on rack points just about every day. I've earned a LOT of points these last two days on my bumps, but to be honest, the points I'm getting still haven't come CLOSE to catching up to what I've spent. I earned a lot of early points from referrals, but those have (predictably) slowed down. I'm up to 21 referral levels, while @hawaii is at 34 or so...and nine of them are mine! Gr!

I enjoy listening to the rack. At least for now, it's taken over my listening. I've got new stuff in my iTunes library that I've been ignoring for the past week or so, just 'cause I've been so happy with the rack. If points are your concern, I say you should make it a mission to max out on those points every day!

My first "first bump"! I'm so excited.


While it was playing, I Googled the artist, Manprett Singh, and found his Facebook fan page and some videos, too.

[Keith Higa]

Wow, didn't realize the 100 play reward was so substantial: went from around 150 pts. to around 450 last night and jumped about two or three levels in the process. :)

[Ling]

Congrats @hawaii! So did that really cool "first bump" voice give you a thrill too! The game is finally making sense :) I liked Manprett Singh and gave him a bump ... pretty soon you will be a 'sensei!'

[Ryan]

Whoa. Level 10. Just when I was starting to feel I'd never make it, I hit the 1,000 listen mark, and 500 points flowed forth. It's almost like it knows when you're in a lull and it hits you with a splash of cool water.

[Stefanie]

Yay! My 1,000th listen just brought me over to Level 7.

[scrivener]

Thanks to Greg and some of his T61 friends (now also mine!), Ryan and I both earned our first DJ badges. 100 points. I have to be honest: I was kinda disappointed by the paltry 100. :) Geez, I hope I'm not turning into a points whore. Some of the merry Radio Bumpers I rode around with today are level 8+ and have bumped themselves down to double-digit points. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong...

[Kalei]

Yay! Reached level 4 on my first day! :)

I tend to get pretty spend happy with my points. It usually pays off, but typically takes a few days to recover from spells of early max bumping. I bet once you get up to the higher point levels you just make mad points with so many more points you'd be able to spend on tracks. It wouldn't hurt as bad as when you're in the level 6 - 8 range.

I already mentioned this, but I hit level 10 the other day. I've been having trouble keeping myself over the 5000 mark, though, because I've been hearing too much cool stuff I have to bump. I think I won't make level 11 a priority and just get there when I get there.

[scrivener]

Well it cost me 2700 points, but I got my Godlike badge.


"Kyrie" by On the Rocks is back on the homepage at great personal expense! That was an expensive badge.
