Ok now can someone explain what those graph things mean, I know they are for user levels but what does each thing mean.

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.
Am fear nach gleidh na h–airm san t–sith, cha bhi iad aige ’n am a’ chogaidh. He that keeps not his arms in time of peace will have none in time of war.

I'll have more permanent details very soon, but here is what the RPG ratings mean.
Your level is based upon your total number of posts. A nice mathmatical formula is used to translate the total post count into an integer number. The highest level currently on the board is a 31. (And that is not me!). How high can the levels go? That is up to this community. There is no limit to level!
Now for the standard RPG type characteristics:
HP - stands for Hit Points. Hp is based on user activity. A member's current HP is based on the user's posts per day. A higher post average per day, the more HP. A user with an average post per day will have 50% of their max HP. We have set the average post per day at 2. Members who manage to post so far above the average that they have more HP than their max will receive a bonus to their max HP.
MP - In the world of RPG, this stands for mana points. For our purpose MP is calculated by how long the user has been around and how often they post. Max MP is based on level, and increases with level. Each post a user makes costs them mp, and a user regenerates mp proportional to how many days they have been registered. We determine the ratio for MP and will adjust that ratio as needed.
EP - Experience is determined by how far the user is away from the next level. This is expressed as a percentage. Note, a user of level 0 has 100% experience. Making one post will put them at level 1. Also, a user that is shown to have 100% experience, will go up a level on their next post.
Remember that your HP, MP and EP is specific to your level and not for your total time here on the messageboard. Any specific questions about this RPG system please let me know.
Ok, let's see who the first is to have 100% of HP, MP & EP. It is possible, but very difficult!
Dear Lord, lest I continue in my complacent ways, help me to remember that someone died for me today. And if there be war, help me to remember to ask and to answer "am I worth dying for?" - Eleanor Roosevelt

Some men are drawn to oceans, they cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and is leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains- Earl Hamner Jr.
I would bet that my GMAFP level is at full throttle right now.
Easy explanation: "Give Me A Freakin' Pint" index is when you're at the point where you are so lost that you need a map to find your own face. I actually think those indexes are pretty cool, and mathematically intriquing. Relevant? Who really cares as long as we have some more bitchin' graphics and something that the other pages don't have!
