The number in parentheses with a star beside our name, what does that mean?

It is a frivolous way we keep track of how cool our fellow jellies are. ;-)

That’s the number of lurve you have accumulated. Les’ link will tell you what Lurve is.

it means we’re special

But not as special as the 10K + jellies. I strive to be like them.

I’m not even a 3k+ jelly…. =(

Free lurve everyone!

though I do believe I have given most of you all the lurve that I can give :D

it’s probably true. I know I’ve probably maxed out all sorts of people though =).

It’s a little like the balance in those statements Social Security sends you. It reflects how much work you’ve put in here, but it’ll never do you any good.

But it does make you feel good!

it is the meter stick by which we judge our fellow flutherites.

I have a rotten cold today, and the lurve is not helping one bit.

I haven’t been here long enough to earn much Lurve, but once you get to know me…

@sammibabi6 do you feel the lurve? Has fluther told you how lovely your hair looks today?

It’s really just how many times someone has found you useful, amusing, or well spoken. That’s about it. :)

There is no racing, no prizes and no hierarchy to be found.

I’m feeling so lurved from this question! Thank you all!

This has been lurvely, we should give our more lurve like this more often.

@miasmom ha ha, lurvely. I like that. :-)

I’m almost a 3k jelly now. yay =)

I’ll push you over @RandomMrdan
