Start asking loads stupid questions.You'll be at level 50 within 1 month.

Yeah I know it's hard sometimes! Just ask questions like how's the weather or questions you already know the answers to. Make sure you not only ask but answer questions too get on maybe a couple times a week and you'll get there. Good luck, have fun! :)

Ask question and ask for friend request .

1) You signed less that 8 months ago under this account: "Member Since: Feb 26, 2009 Last Seen: Oct 6, 2009" (from your profile) 2) Still according to your profile, before the day where you asked this question (which you did twice, by the way), your whole activity in that time has been to ask 3 questions and give 14 answers (4 further questions were asked on this same day). All those 14 answers were given between Feb 26 and Mar 2, 2009. You extremely reduced activity is certainly an explanation for getting so few points. 3) It looks like you did not give a single points to the answers you received. You did not give your answerers any feedback either. To avoid people who are just asking questions for points, my own policy is not to give points to the questions that I answer before I get some feedback that *could* have come from the asker. So this could explain that you did not get any points on your questions. Most of the points on Answerbag are normally received with questions. 4) Except for the recent answers, which could still not have been rated, it is noticeable that your answers got very few points: - 6 pts for one - 5 pts for another - (-1) pts for another - 0 pts for the other 11 answers Some possible explanations for this: - nobody considered your answers useful, even the asker, - nobody was interested by the question anyway, - the askers had already got the answer they wanted (some askers don't give points in that case), - the question was rejected as a duplicate, before the asker could rate your answer, and the original asker did not rate it either, - the asker did not bother about points, they did not rate the other answers either, - you are not well known (unfortunately, it plays a role for some people), - or maybe it was just hard luck... 5) If you start a regular activity, and post some good questions and answers, you should normally leave level 1 very soon. Funny conversational questions could make a lot of points.
