I am using a formula NASA invented just for this website! Check out your profile and see how you compare to others. It is super duper accurate! :)

If you are curious how it calculates how big of a geek you are, it takes these things into account (some are weighted more than others) :

it looks at you BTGTD skill

it looks at the number of friends you have (believe it or not, geeks are popular and have friends!)

geeks enjoy uploading a profile picture
v geeks enjoy telling others where in the world they live (if you are concerned about privacy, there is no need to zoom down to your house, just click on the city/town you are from (or make something up if you are paranoid :)

geeks enjoy filling in their "about me" field in their profile (true fact!)

it looks at the amount of tape on your glasses. It is exponentially inversely proportial to your geekiness

and a few more things too... :)

Glad you calculated in the tape. It's a big thing, ya know. Important. Also, ducktape is a no-no.

Do geeks also enjoy posting in the forums?

Maybe :P

However only quality forum posts count :)

...and script that sorts quality posts from worse ones is called "AI" :]

These should be in the community section under Top Geeks under another option. One should be for level/exp and the other should be for the Meter. to get jth to notice it and to question why his isn't as big even though he is the highest level :3

Ya, maybe I'll add a community ranking based on geekiness :P

Another task for the to-do list :)

I actually got a ton of work done today. Mostly bug fixes... but my list of bugs is getting fairly small... so that will make more time for features :)

One of the big reason jth's geek meter is lower, is cause he hasn't added a profile picture, hasn't set his location on the map, and hasn't entered anything in the about me field. That makes a big difference. (geeks love information!)

Yea I know, so if this goes into a mini-tab on the Top Geeks section of Community, he might see it, and wonder.
