LOL, sorry about the mistake.
I saw both days in 2018  Undecided
Edited my thread already.
There is more than a year in the period above lol

nullius has 168 activity, which is means he used the forum for about 5 months.


I will find and add your story into the list of inspirational stories.
Well I went from Hero to Legendary, and I think that the Fit to Talk English project, and my merit source blog were contributing factors.
ATM, I enjoy songs in your Bitcointunes store.  Grin

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
I've register here in forum year ago and been on from being a brand new to Jr. Member after a month. Then the merit requirement emerge but I still remain a Jr. member but September last year I've been made a brand new member again by imposing a new rule that Jr. member should earn 1 merit. By the motivation to rank up I learn how other member does to get merit and here I am now wearing that 2 shiny gold coin under my rank and name. Just an advice there's no really easy way even on ranking up here in forum, life teach us that way too.

Next destination to take, "Be a full pledge Full Member" rank and who knows my topic (inspirational story) will be added here too.  Shocked

From now on, threads like these twos will be deleted:
18 months ago, you could make money taking part in bounty campaigns.
Having a better rank could give you more money.
Today, the profit from bounties is near zero, so ranking up has no meaning.

This is really good and can serve us in the lower ranks as an inspiration that it is possible to rank up if you try hard enough, have the needed time and also a bit of luck.

If readers feel that the topic is helpful, simply enjoy it.
If they have topics to contribute, please comment, and give link to stories they find.
If there is nothing to contribute, please simply skip or ignore the topic.

Thank you.

I known that, some guys promoted to Hero or Legendary but they did not care to share their stories. It's their choices.
I think that most of those histories were from early 2018, just after the merit system was implemented.
As hero and legendary needs lots of merits, taking a longer time, there are no histories from them (as far as I know)

I also known the case of nullius, and believe that all members who were actively in the forum during early weeks after the launch of merit system known nullius.
That guy appeared as a shooting star, earned lots of merits.
And, his works, unbelievable high-qualited, especially for low-ranked user. He is a classic case study during that period. Lots of forum users admired him, even higher ranked ones.
There is a theory that nullius is alt of someone in the forum, just try two things:
- Trolling Spambies.
- Demonstrating the lower-ranked users can rank up with merit system.
After around three-month period was extremely active in the forum, nullius shut-off. No one knows which reasons behind.

First thread's publishing day: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/nullius-976210;sa=showPosts;start=920 (around 9 months after register day)

Shut-off day:
Code:
April 24, 2018, 11:02:30 PM

During the period from 01 Dec 2017 to 30 Jan 2018 (nearly 3-month period), nullius made 15-paged threads, after that (from 30 Jan 2018 to 24 Apr 2018 - another 3-month period) he made 32-paged threads more, before shutting off.
In other words, he became much more actively after the launch of merit system.

Maybe if you search a lot you may find something from nullius. He earned more than 700 merits in few weeks here, he knew a lot about cryptography and cryptocurrencies


If I remembered exactly, there is another account considered as alt of nullius, got massive amount of sMerits, been actively after nullius shut-off. I don't remember that account's name.

I appreciated your list.
I don't think there are many users will tell their stories when they ranked up from Hero to Ledgendary. Maybe they will if they promoted from Senior Member to Hero.
I will screen the list later when I have more time because it is hard to screen all topics of Hero and Ledgendary.

Finally, I think that I have a relevant tittle for the topic, much better than the last one.
I change the tittle to 'Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users'.


The topic of hugeblack does not contain any story (or that guy edited it and made it empty).
The first one I remember was hugeblack > https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/finally-sr-member-3166903
I known it months ago.
At that time, your story inspired me a lot.

I remember it because I gave him the merit to rank up.
Same was with TheQuin, I ranked him up to Hero but he did't made any threads about it.
Btw I had a service to help people to rank up if they need 1-2 merit back then Wink

The thread I made and mentioned above was when I ranked up to Full member, I don't see point of making threads anymore, it was just in the beginning when people were unsure if the system was good or bad. Now the system was proven working so I don't think I'll post anything at the end of the next month when I reach Hero.
I need less then 300 for Legendary but need also more then a 1.5 years activity, and I guess It won't be a problem to get 300 merit. I don't really see the point of having more than 1000 if there is no other rank above. Only for reputation.

You need to be active, and keep aware of the changing politics in the forum. When the merit system was introduced, all the talk was of merits, and awards were given for services associated with the new system. Rhen we moved on to the changes in the Defsult Trust system, and this evolved into the war between the Russians and TMAN and Lauda. Hopefully that is dying down now, and we can move on to something else.

Of course you could always take a radical approach, and start talking about the next big price breakout for Bitcoin.

What I really what to collect are stories of constructive guys, who already ranked-up with their self-made efforts, great initiatives.
Only some of them shared their stories (what I tried collecting them and posting here).

Ah, I already known the topic, and this one:
Forum chronicle - UP Rank List (BPIP statistics, trust (by Nikisa)

My objectives are different than those twos:
What I really want to collect are stories of constructive guys, who already ranked-up with their self-made efforts, and great initiatives.
Only some of them shared their stories, and I tried collecting their available stories and post them here.
In real life, stories will make a difference. Some of them are boring stories, some of them are inspirational ones, like the speech of Steve Jobs at the Stanford university years ago.
Even boring stories, readers can find some interesting points/ lessons inside. That totally depends upon the viewpoints of each readers. Inspirational stories usually have magical impacts on human mood, attitude, can change the way they grow up/ rank up in the forum space.

Yesterday, ideas come out, then I created the topic immediately to avoid forgetting it.
I believe those two topics will help me to finish my objectives.
I will spend my time to screen all ranked-up cases to see how many guys shared their stories, and will fullfil the list later days.
Your list is 100% incomplete.

Look at this post, I think that guy made a complete list.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/log-the-ranked-up-members-congratulations-4850225


I don't really get your opinion.
So, what did you call my topic? Has it been a pseudo-constructive one?  Roll Eyes
Sometimes, people have to pay fees to listen to famous ones.
Those shared experience is totally free, simply enjoy it, and grasp specific helpful points for your interests.
Being somewhat active but not just because "you have to rank up/get the bounty" is a start.

I find other languages part of the forum more prone to discussion and less to spam so if you can try to post there too.


If you don't see the topic is helpful, meaningful, and inspirational for you. Simply skip it, or even add me into your Ignore list.
That's all.
From now on, I will turn the topic into a Self-moderated one. All un-constructive threads will be deleted.
Don't see the use of this post. You only pointed out three post one of your self and one of a fellow you earlier pointed out on your own personal story post.
You have ranked up that is great why not continue being positive rather than making merit fishing post

INSPIRATIONAL STORIES FROM SELF-MADE PROMOTED USERS

The topic started specifically for new comers of the forum, and even for old ones who have still got stucked at lower ranks.

I think that from the stories, new comers and lower-ranked users can learn from those promoted guys and their shared stories.
Their approaches to learn knowledge in the forum;
Their ways to join discussions in constructive sides;
Their attitude and real activities to help others with their knowledge, experience, skills, and their time.

I hope that those stories in the below list will inspire readers.
I also hope that readers will be able to connect those stories by themselves and learn from them.
