I have a question about fluther, theres a star and near my username, and it says 34 or something, what does that mean?

The number indicates how many points you have. You get a point for everyday you visit the site, 5 points if someone gives you a great answer up to 5 GA’s per answer and 3 points for being given a Great Question. These points don’t mean anything really. You can’t trade them in for prizes or cash. But to a lot of us, it’s just fun to see how many points we have. I have around 37,000 and have been here since 2008.
Welcome to Fluther!

What are you referring to? I see a 37 and a star….

It is your popularity index.

It’s called lurve.

It’s lurve baby, LURVE!!! The lifeblood of this here lagoon. That magical elixir that’ll cure your ills, put spring in your step, and grow hair on your teeth.

^^ wow..I didn’t know it can do wonders..)

I think I was on Flutter for weeks before I noticed it. On my phone that part is very small.

Welcome to Fluther.

It’s called Lurve.

You receive 1 point of Lurve for every consecutive day that you visit, 5 for every time any single answer you contribute is voted as a ‘great answer’ and 3 for a ‘great question’ vote.

It doesn’t actually serve a purpose, however, except perhaps to reflect your participation.
