general questions How to Get Points to Level Up

[Lucky Fire 128]

i'm curious as to how you get points to level up. i'm currently a Butterfly (and have been for YEARS XD though that's because i have not been here FOR those years XD) and i'm just getting impatient and want to level up to Squirrel already XD lol. but i know it takes time. so, to get points, is it posting OOC (Out Of Character) and people reacting and quoting your posts? like, how does that work?

Every post you make actually gets you another "point"! There is a little counter beneath your current rank and one that shows up when you click on your name in the right corner. Mine says "48 points until my next rank."


Getting a follow from someone also gets you a point!   Both posting and gaining followers will contribute to you getting closer to your next rank. There are some forum sections though that state posts there won't help your rank up.

Edit: Here's what I'm talking about. Post count won't increase in the "Ask a Pony" section, so if you're looking to level up fast, posting there won't help. D:
